A shower gift beyond the registry.
A vintage copy of The Book of Baby Mine and a pair of copper-plated baby shoes pair the milestones ahead with a keepsake from another generation.
First published in 1915 and reissued for generations, The Book of Baby Mine was designed to record photographs, family details, and a child’s earliest milestones across its illustrated pages. It is paired here with vintage baby shoes preserved through copper electroplating, a sentimental keepsake tradition popularized in the United States beginning in the 1930s. Together, the book holds the firsts still to come while the shoes carry a pair from long ago, making this an original baby shower gift with a little history already built in. The book and copper shoes arrive beautifully wrapped and ready to give.
To preserve the book and copper finish, handle both with clean, dry hands, keep them away from moisture and prolonged direct sunlight, and dust gently with a soft cloth. The aged copper patina is part of the shoes’ vintage character and should not be polished away. See photos for more detail.
