My husband and I have some close friends in Texas who gave birth to their first child on November 1st, and, thanks to RedEnvelope, it didn't take me long to find the perfect gift to send them.

Baby's First Christmas Ornament Kit, exclusively from RedEnvelope, is the perfect gift for this time of year. The holidays are coming and new babies are everywhere! Tiny hands and feet impressions will last a lifetime in these heirloom ornaments. Mom or dad simply rolls the provided molding clay with a solid wood rolling pin, then impresses little hands or feet (or both) in the clay, and cuts with the shaping rings. Included green or red ribbon hangers can be tied to the tree for a vintage-inspired look.

• includes red fabric storage box with ribbon closure and photo frame on lid
• box: 6 1/2 sq. x 1 3/4"H
• photo frame: 2 1/4" x 2 1/2"
• optional plaque for lid may be engraved with up to two lines of up to 25 characters
• included material makes 2 round ornaments, from 3” - 5 1/2" diam.

I love the keepsake box, as the handmade ornaments can be kept safely inside during the rest of the year. I got Jeff and Denise's engraved to say "Jaden Scott Seiler, November 1, 2007," and I'm sure they'll pick an adorable picture to go in the frame.
