Just saw the thread on 'baby shoe bronzing' which I had never ever seen, and just wondered what MSE ideas we can all share; whether it be a shop-bought or handmade gift.
I want your suggestions of cheap or homemade things you can do with/for/from babies, i.e. gifts for relatives that relate to the baby (handprints/footprints, etc).
Please include pics where possible and include how much it costs to make or buy.
Here is my tuppence worth:
I bought some snowglobes in Home Bargains for 99p that are flat backed and have a magnet for mounting on the fridge. I'll be adding a pic of my 5 month old and giving one each to grandparents.
I also made this exploding box for my friend's baby's christening in August. Her baby was born premature and I included photos of her from birth to present day.


Looking forward to seeing everyone's suggestions.
