4 Ideas for a Meaningful Handmade Baby Gift

From clothes to disposable toys, kids have a way of putting a dent in sustainable living. Families politely request "no more plastic stuff, please!," and it keeps coming.

Our brand-new Bario Neal Baby & Child Keepsakes line reflects our desire to design objects of lasting value. There's an invisible tie among parents, children, and siblings, but in today's mass consumption world, these bangles can be a delicate reminder of how much this connection is what truly matters. They have the added bonus of being a meaningful gift that's not headed straight for the landfill or the "can this be recycled?" pile.

Designers have created jewelry for children for hundreds of years, from lockets to bracelets, and the custom of children wearing jewelry is still prevalent in many cultures today. The Victorian era was a particularly popular time for tiny rings and bangles engraved with a baby's name. The fact that you're likely to stumble on them during a Sunday vintage/antiquing outing speaks to their permanence.

The Bario Neal team knows children embrace handmade gifts. "My son will only use the spoon that one of the jewelers at Bario Neal made him when he was an infant," says Page Neal, Bario Neal co-founder and designer.

As we've worked with our clients over the years, we've seen so many versions of "family." Moms, mother figures, dads, guardians. Our Keepsake bangles are designed to work for every family member and can be made in sterling silver or 14kt yellow gold. (With the environment in mind, Bario Neal uses only Fairmined gold and recycled metals.) They can be engraved with names and they come in four sizes: baby, toddler, child, and adult.

Shop our new Bario Neal Baby & Child Keepsakes collection today. For parents and caretakers of all stripes, the baby and child bangles might be a way of continuing a family jewelry tradition, or creating a new story for a new family. For those on the hunt for a handmade baby gift that's more personal than mass-produced, they're the perfect alternative to another plastic toy.
