These adorable little stamps come packed in a keepsake pillow box to keep them safe throughout their life and retail for around $100 ($97ish... depending on the Yen).

Very cute and sentimental... but pricey. How about stamping your baby's handprint/footprint on a piece of paper, then scanning it? The jpeg image can be saved and utilized for DIY framed art, invitations, etc.

You beat me to the punch on scanning ... seriously, once you get past the initial invitations, announcements and stationary in the first 6 months to a year - what are you going to use this for?

So, this is a great idea, but I agree that the price is kinda crazy. I just Googled "custom rubber stamps" and found a bunch of places that would make them for you---you just have to send them a high-quality black& white image file. A 2"x2" to 3"x3" stamp is $10-$25. [One link...]

AmberM, nice catch! I liked the idea of a first month handprint but wouldn't invest in something like this for every milestone.

I had to laugh at Heather's comment - spoken like a true practical mom!

@Kristin - Maybe they have generic ones. in 30 years, you'll never remember it wasn't really your child's :)

I have a better (and cheaper!) idea - use a photo of your baby/child's face and have a custom stamp made. Santa did this for our daughter for Christmas last year. Here's a link to how hers turned out: http://sixgoldencoins.blogspot.com/2009/12/katie-stamp.html

We've used the stamp on Valentines, thank you notes, and all kinds of crafts. Here's the gift wrap we made: http://sixgoldencoins.blogspot.com/2010/05/easy-gift-wrap.html
