Mickey Mouse Handsome Little Boy Photo Album 6 x 4in - Blue

This photo album gives a new baby boy's first pictures a cheerful home, with a sketched Mickey Mouse smiling across the front cover. He stands in his red shorts and yellow shoes among little stars and a soft cloud, beside the words "Handsome little BOY" in gold lettering, with a small "oh so cute" label beneath and his name in a leafy wreath in the corner. The spine is a pale blue polka dot and a pale blue ribbon ties the album closed at the side, so blue runs through the design against a soft cream cover. Inside, clear slip-in pockets take 6 x 4in prints, so there is no trimming before the pictures go in.

It makes a thoughtful gift to mark a birth, suiting a little one in their first three years, and its opening pages hold more than photographs. An "All about me" page waits to be filled in with the baby's name, the day they were born, their weight and their height, along with a "My first" section, all set beside a quiet pencil-style sketch of Mickey sitting with a teddy bear. Fill those in on the first day home and the album becomes a keepsake to look back on together for years. Once full, it sits happily on a nursery shelf or a bookcase in the family room.

The printed cover and ribbon tie keep the pages neatly together on the shelf, and a gentle pull on the bow opens it again. To keep the cover fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and strong sunlight, which can fade printed colours. Slide photographs into the pockets with clean, dry hands to keep the clear sleeves free of marks. For a birth gift, we like to slip a few early prints in before wrapping, so the new parents open a story already begun.

What size photographs does the album hold?

It takes 6 x 4in prints, which slide into the clear pockets inside, so ordinary prints go straight in without any trimming.

Is there anywhere to write the baby's details?

Yes, an All about me page near the front has spaces for the baby's name, the day they were born, their weight and their height, plus a My first section.

How does the album close?

A pale blue ribbon at the side ties in a bow to hold the covers together, and it unties easily whenever you want to add photographs or look through them.

What colours is the album?

The cover is a soft cream with Mickey Mouse in his red shorts and yellow shoes, a pale blue polka-dot spine and a matching pale blue ribbon tie.

Is it a good gift for a new baby?

It makes a thoughtful birth gift for a baby boy, and the fill-in page and photo pockets let the family build a keepsake of the early years.

How should I look after the album?

Dust the cover with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from damp and strong sunlight, and handle the photo pockets with clean, dry hands.
