Now i will let you into my perfect baby gift. I normally get a personalised gift, a wooden picture frame which inside i have a thick piece of white card which i have written the following poem on: Sometimes I might upset you Just because I'm small By leaving fingerprints of mine~ On a table, chair, or wall. But everyday I grow a bit And I'll be big one day When all my tiny fingerprints Have long been cleaned away. So keep these prints of my hands, To help you recall Just how big my fingers were That time when I was small Once you have written this leave a little room for some baby hand prints whic the parents can print later. Then buy some baby paints Blue, yellow, red & rreen work well. This means you have given them all they need to finish the present.
