    A friend in Australia set up an email account for her child at birth and she sends emails and pctures to it regularly, as do other close relatives. She plans to hand it over to him when he is 18. It will contain lots of memories by then. I think that is a great idea.
    Another brilliant idea :T

    Hope is not a strategy :D...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!
  • Don't discount a photo of you all. I don't have many photos from childhood but I have one of my Mum, Dad and I just after my birth. They look so happy it brings me great joy.
  • A very small and cheap present, but she may like a height chart recording her height throughout her childhood. (The traditional thing was to mark it on a wall or door, but apart from anything else you can't take it with you if you move!)

  • Some lovely ideas on here. I don't have anything to add but marking my place as my little one will have her first birthday in 3 months (where does the time go?!)
