Starry Teddy Bear Baby Keepsake Box with Drawers - White

This white baby keepsake box with drawers gives the littlest things a proper home, from a first pair of shoes to the cards that arrived in those early weeks. The lid carries the printed words 'Sometimes the littlest things take up the most room in your heart', set among gold and silver stars and crescent moons, with a small silver-coloured teddy bear sitting at the top. A grey ribbon ties the lid closed at the front. The box measures 22cm wide, 17cm deep and 8.5cm tall. That is a size that sits easily on a shelf or slips into a wardrobe.

Open it and the inside is laid out for keeping things in order. The inside of the lid has two labelled sections, First Shoes and Cards and Keepsakes, while the base holds an oval photo window on one side and a stack of labelled compartments on the other: Keepsakes & Treasures, Memories & Mittens and Precious Things. Half-moon finger holes make each one easy to pull open, so a hospital bracelet, a lock of hair or a tiny pair of mittens each has its own place. It suits a nursery shelf, a bedroom drawer or a high cupboard where the mementos of the first months are kept together.

The finish is printed, with the same scatter of stars and moons running across the inside of the lid, so it looks as pretty open on a dresser as closed on a shelf. The ribbon tie keeps everything in place between visits and makes the box feel like a present from the moment it is handed over. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry, away from strong sunlight, so the print stays fresh. We like to slip a favourite photograph into the oval window before wrapping it, so the gift feels personal before the first keepsake goes in.
