Why this gift works

A clean, no-mess kit for taking a newborn's hand and foot print without ink everywhere. The tiny-hands stage lasts weeks, and it is the single detail parents say they cannot quite believe later - a print is the one keepsake that captures scale.

It is a genuinely sentimental gift that does not clutter the house, and clay or clean-touch kits make it achievable for tired parents who will not manage a complicated craft project.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A gift from grandparents, who may want a print of their own
  • A second baby, so both children have prints

Think twice if

  • The parents do not want more keepsake objects
  • The baby is well past the newborn stage

The catch

Getting a clean print from a wriggling newborn takes two people and some luck, and clay kits are a one-shot deal - a smudged impression cannot be redone with the same material.

Skip for parents who have said they do not want more keepsake objects, or if the baby is well past the newborn stage you would want to capture.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • A clean print from a wriggling newborn takes two adults and some luck.
  • Clay kits give one good impression - a smudge cannot be redone with the same clay.
  • Check the listing's safety information on the materials.

Why we like it

  • Captures how small they were - the detail parents cannot believe later
  • No ink all over the baby
  • Sentimental without cluttering the house

Questions people ask
