Your kids change daily. They grow up so fast that one moment you’re changing nappies and the next they’re losing their first tooth and starting school. When chronicling these happy moments, you’ll want to find the perfect baby photo frames to display them for each friend or family member.

Showing several photos in one display can help tell a story of how your baby is growing up, but individual baby photo frames define the uniqueness of your children and their most memorable moments. Above all, you want baby photo frames that keep your children as the centre of attention.

But out of the hundreds of thousands of attractive frames to choose from, how do you decide which baby photo frames would make a good gift?

Here are five beautiful frames that you can’t go wrong with:

1. Tiny Hands and Feet Home Imprint Kit - This precious gift saves two pieces of childhood in one delightful baby photo frame. The easy-to-use, do-it-yourself imprint kit allows you to capture two physical memories of how tiny baby really was. Then you can hang the feet or hands imprint next to a picture that depicts how little he or she was. This gift is perfect for babies eight months old or less and includes the imprint dough, glue for mounting and a simple handmade wooden frame.

2. Royal Selangor Winnie the Pooh Picture Frame - This is a gorgeously detailed pewter picture frame depicting one of the most beloved children’s characters of all time. Your baby will be surrounded by simple scenes of Winne the Pooh trying to save his honey jars, emphasising the innocence of youth.

3. Large Glass Baby Photo Frame - This baby photo frame provides almost its entire, large surface area for seeing your beautiful baby. Measuring 13 cm x 10 cm, the glass surface magnifies baby slightly, making your picture the focus of attention. Little etched feet dance across the bottom of the glass giving this baby photo frame a simple, modern feel to it.

4. Shadow Boxes Rocking Horse Photo Frame (Boy or Girl) - These shadow boxes are just as much nursery wall decorations as they are baby photo frames. Both versions have decorative balloons and hearts framing the rest of the piece. ‘Shelves’ of classic children’s toys, including a teddy bear, booties and a rocking horse are on the left side while a place for baby’s photo is on the right side. The girl’s version is tinted pink and has “BABY GIRL” spelt out in toy blocks, while the boy’s version is tinted blue and has “BABY BOY” in the same spot.

5. D for Diamond Silver Photo Frame (Pram or Football) - Another set of frames for a boy and a girl, the D for Diamond series is very sleek, simple and elegant. The main attraction is your baby’s face with a beautiful silver-plated frame around it. On one, a single silver-plated football sits on the bottom of the frame, set with a single diamond. On the other, an enamelled pink baby pram set with a diamond sits in the same spot.

If there’s a new baby in your life, remember to chronicle their early life with lots of photos, and what better way to display them with some of these gorgeous baby photo frames?
