You can’t help it – when you see those tiny baby hands and feet, you know you’re looking at the most adorable, perfect thing ever created. Preserve the memory without the plaster cast.

Otete & Anyo have created a baby keepsake that is as useful as it is unique. Otete & Anyo means baby’s hand and foot in Japanese and these stamps are individually engraved to be true to the size of your own baby’s hands and feet.

Whilst new parents might just feel the need to stamp everything in sight (I think I would have), the stamps could be put to good use on thank you notes or invitations (definitely look after them for the 21st birthday invitations!).

The stamps are engraved by hand, feature the baby’s name and birthday on the back and are presented in a wooden box for safe keeping.

Priced at ¥10,300 each, Otete & Anyo ship to Australia.
