Premature babies are one of the most precious things to witness in life. They are fighters and thrivers, and the smallest of improvements are celebrated with joy and relief. It is a challenging time for parents, the days just blur into weeks as your life becomes a small bubble as your sole focus is this special little life.
In the haze of new parenthood, doctors, medications and wires, important milestones are often missed or not captured. Our goal with these plaques is to give you those moments back, to have something tangible to look back on, and ensure that those small but very significant moments in baby's early life can be captured and treasured forever.
We are delighted to offer these Milestone Plaques for parents of premmies. The plaques are made from 3mm cedar wood which is strong but lightweight, and sanded by hand to give an incredible smooth finish. The hexagonal shape brings a unique touch to your milestone pictures! Measuring 10cm across and the corners are gently rounded to ensure no scratches for little hands and people.
Included in this set is 24 wooden plaques with the following milestones:
Welcome little one
I gained weight today
I'm wearing my first outfit
I was really brave today

Love this funky plant trellis! I wanted something vibrant and joyful and this 100% does the job. Sturdy and so pretty! Came packaged securely and beautifully.
I love this holographic heart trellis! It's perfect for my hoya. I love how different colours reflect on the trellis. It came in beautiful packaging, it felt like receiving a special gift!
I’m so happy with the Wonderful Sign from Minting Memories! It’s fun, unique, personalised and beautifully made — a perfect birthday gift that brought so much joy everyday. The team was prompt, efficient, and added a lovely personal touch. Highly recommend this wonderful small family business for quality, fun gifts!

Amazing quality and customer service.
This is not the only item that we have from minting memories and we are not disappointed.
The variety of items in offer are the perfect personalised gift for many occasions.
I will be definitely ordering again.
Design and quality is 100%. I love the look of a wooden decoration against the green of our tree. What sets this decoration apart is the pop of coloured acrylic. I got these for our own tree but on receiving them I think I need to order more for gifts.
Beautifully crafted. The different textures complement each other so well. I was impressed with the online photos but was blown away when it was delivered!
The ornament is just lovely and so well made. The team even added the year on the back for me at no extra charge as I am giving my Granddaughter one every year at Xmas. Delivery was super prompt and I am extremely happy.
Thanks so much. I would highly recommend to all.
The cutest little sign for our family to put out this Easter! The quality is second to none! Thank you for another beautiful piece to add to our Minting Memories collection
Thank you for my newest addition to my Christmas tree! The quality is second to none, and you can tell how much care goes into crafting each and every piece.
So happy with this product. Matched the ‘happy birthday’ perfectly and a great quality product that can be used for many more birthdays. Excellent customer service and fast delivery time. Highly recommend this terrific small business.
Customer service was excellent. Fast delivery and packaged beautifully. Product was excellent quality and I will be able to use for many birthdays to come. Will be referring friends and family to this terrific local business.
Such a lovely addition to our tree. The colours are so vibrant and the quality of the product is excellent. Arrived very promptly too! Would definitely recommend.
Love these bag tags! They’re super high quality, very sturdy keyring so they won’t come off accidentally, and so many cute images to choose from! And I absolutely love that my kids’ names are hidden. Plus, great customer service and very speedy delivery. Love this business and will definitely buy again!
Thank you, thank you! No more ringing the door bell, knocking or yelling loudly that a parcel has arrived. My daughter sleeps soundly throughout the day now and wakes refreshed for the start of her ‘day’ 😊
Absolutely love our Christmas ornaments. Product was high quality and arrived really quickly! We loved them so much we purchased more for the rest of the family!
I purchased 3 of these for my family last year and 1 this year for our new baby. They’re absolutely beautiful - they add a lovely touch of class to my tree. The packaging is really nice too so would be a great gift.
Love these! I bought a set of 5 for my nieces young family. They were packaged lovely and the product was 1st class. My niece absolutely adored them. Thank you Minting Memories.
So thrilled to add our new child's bauble to the Xmas Tree decorations this year. These beautifully crafted keepsakes will be treasured by our family for years to come!
Absolutely love our new family ornaments for Christmas this year! The quality and design are amazing, they will look beautiful on our tree. Shipping was quick! We couldn’t be happier with our purchase, we already have family members who will be ordering theirs.
Product is exactly as pictured, has a lovely detail on the back securing the string, is a beautifully finished product and delivered well, really happy with the purchase. Thank you!
So fast to make and send. It is absolutely beautiful. Love that the string can neatly tucked away, and placed on the fridge, or out and hanging on the wall! Thank you!
Very, very impressed.....the quality, speed of arrival, secure outer packaging and beautifully wrapped inside too.
Will definitely recommend to anyone who cares to listen.
Love it. Thank you
