Where can I get

A keepsake box for my little boy?

I want to keep all his new baby cards, first xmas, first birthday, first outfit etc but I have no idea where to even find one - if they even exist?

    We got a nice set of three leather ones in Matalan. Was quite a few years ago, so not convinced they'd still have them, but might be worth a try as they may have something similar.
  • There are lots of different companies when you google 'baby keepsake box'. You're probably best looking through a few to see if there is something you like.

    I don't think keepsake boxes were around when my daughter was born (she's 21), and I used a large shoe box.
  • mothercare normally have them. not sure if they have them online but they are instore. x

    Ikea use to do 2 metal tins about the size of a shoe box , blue or silver, which are good as they last a bit better than a shoe box. You could decorate it if you wished to.

    OP, you've probably got one now, but i thought of this thread when I spotted some beautiful boxes in Store Twenty One yesterday - including these http://www.storetwentyone.co.uk/homeware/storage/icat/storage/ but they also had some specifically for babies born in 2013. All seemed to be quite reasonably priced.
