Description
These little silver plated keepsake boxes give a baby's first tooth and first curl a place of their own. There are two of them, both round with a gently curved barrel profile and a bright, shiny silver finish. One reads MY FIRST TOOTH and wears a crescent moon on its lid; the other reads MY FIRST CURL and is topped with a star. Tiny stars and moons are scattered around the words on each side, so the two look as though they belong together. They measure 5.7cm high, 3.6cm wide and 7.5cm deep, small enough to tuck into a drawer or keep on a shelf.
We think they belong in a nursery, on a chest of drawers or a bedroom shelf, where a parent can lift a lid and remember. They make a thoughtful christening gift, a gentle present for new parents, or a welcome for a new baby that will still mean something years later. Because the words name a first tooth and a first curl, they suit a child from the earliest months right through the years when milk teeth begin to wobble. They are keepsakes for grown-ups to look after, the kind of gift that tends to be kept rather than put away.
Each box is made from metal with a shiny silver plated finish, and its lid lifts off by the star or moon handle on top. Inside, the tooth box has a grey lining for a tiny tooth to rest on. To keep the shine, dust them with a soft dry cloth, and wipe with a barely damp cloth when needed before drying straight away. For a christening or a first visit to new parents, we would wrap them in tissue with a handwritten note of the baby's name and birth date tucked alongside.

Frequently Asked
What are the two keepsake boxes for?
One box reads MY FIRST TOOTH and the other reads MY FIRST CURL, so a baby's first tooth and a lock of their first hair each have a box of their own.
How big are the keepsake boxes?
They measure 5.7cm high, 3.6cm wide and 7.5cm deep. That is small enough to sit on a nursery shelf or tuck safely into a drawer.
What are the boxes made of?
They are made from metal with a shiny silver plated finish. A star handle sits on the curl box lid and a crescent moon sits on the tooth box lid.
Do the lids come off?
Yes, each lid lifts straight off by its star or moon handle, so it is easy to place a tooth or a curl inside and look at it again later.
How do I keep the silver finish looking bright?
Dust the boxes with a soft dry cloth. When needed, wipe them with a barely damp cloth and dry them straight away to keep the shine.
Are these keepsake boxes a good christening gift?
We think so. They make a thoughtful christening gift, a gentle present for new parents and a lasting welcome for a new baby.
