Babies collect a lot of things over the journey and it can be hard deciding what to keep and what to pass on. After all, everything has a memory, and a special place in your heart. But there comes a point where said cuteness transitions from keepsakes to hoarding and space is one of those things that disappears before our eyes.
To save the space and storage problem,Keepsake Boxes are a great way to keep baby’s precious memories safe and organised. They’re decorative boxes that keep your mementos in one convenient place and can be passed down to your child as a reminder of where they came from.
So what are the best special baby items to keep that will bring back all those memories without costing us rental fees at King’s storage!

Some kids keep their favourite baby toy in a safe place of their own, even when they’re all grown up because they know how special it is. But if your child is happy to part with it, a good place to keep their first little friend safe and sound is in the keepsake box.
Your baby scans were the first time you saw your baby. I’m sure, like me, they brought up emotions in you that you never even knew existed. So it makes sense to keep those memories treasured forever too.
