Baby Gifts at Hamilton Home
A baby gift from a jeweler is meant to outlast the nursery. A sterling silver rattle or cup becomes the thing a family keeps, passes down and brings out at the next christening. Hamilton has been the place Princeton and Palm Beach families come for these gifts for over a century, and the tradition continues with every new arrival.
The classics are here: sterling silver rattles and teething rings, the Hamilton pewter cup and porringer, and Christofle's Talisman baby spoon and fork set from France. Herend's hand-painted prayer boxes and tooth fairy boxes, in pink and blue, are a favorite keepsake. For something playful, the ceramic piggy banks in Noah's Ark, Old McDonald and Sugar and Spice patterns are decorated by hand, and the ballerina music box still plays. Michael Aram's animal and elephant frames are made for the first portrait, and small gold crosses and children's bangles mark a baptism or a first birthday. If the family already has a sterling piece, our team can match a cup or rattle to the same style.
Visit us in Princeton or Palm Beach to see the pieces, or book an appointment and our team will put together a few options for a shower or a christening. Every order is gift wrapped, many pieces can be engraved with a name and birth date, and our team can help you choose something the family will keep. Many of these gifts are added to a family's registry as well, so ask if the parents have one.
