My 1st Tooth & Curl Star Tiered Ceramic Keepsake Box - White

This white ceramic star keepsake box gives a baby's first tooth and first curl of hair a home of their own. It has a smooth glaze and a soft, rounded five-pointed shape, and the lid carries the words 'my 1st tooth & curl' in raised silver lettering, ringed with tiny silver sparkles. Lift the lid and you find two shallow star trays stacked one on the other, each edged in silver: one marked with a small tooth, the other with a little comb, so there is never any doubt about which treasure goes where. It stands 5cm tall, 7cm wide and 7cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.

Because it is so compact, it sits happily on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a dressing table, and it tucks into a memory box without taking up much room. We think it makes a thoughtful new baby gift, a gentle present for a birth, and a lovely way to welcome new parents, who will be glad of a proper place for those tiny firsts long before they arrive. It is a keepsake to treasure and look at, rather than something for little hands to play with, so a high shelf suits it well.

The ceramic has a smooth glazed finish in clean white, with silver on the rims of the trays and on the lettering, and the lid lifts straight off the top tray. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a cloth that is barely damp, and handle it with the care any ceramic deserves. For gifting, wrap it in tissue in a small box, or tuck a note inside the top tray for the new parents to find. Set beside a framed newborn portrait, it makes a sweet little corner of milestones on the nursery shelf.
