Is there anything more difficult than gift ideas for important moments? Whether it’s a milestone birthday, engagement, beginning of a new business or the birth of someone’s first child, keepsake gift ideas are the hardest of all.
The importance of choosing correctly to select a gift that will effortlessly fit with someones personal aesthetic, yet also have longevity and quality that ensures this, is paramount.
Consider also what matters to the person—keepsake gift ideas should align with the receivers interests and what they hold dear. Personalised touches are great, but not always—a beautiful, heirloom item that will be handed down generations or remain pride of place on display can be more sentimental, in many cases.
Below, our top selects for keepsake gift ideas.
The Best Keepsake Gift Ideas

Charm bracelets are always a fantastic personalised option for a milestone gift. These can be added to for future milestone events, or personalised further by the receiver, making them perfect for someone with many loves or interests in their life.
As for soldered options, consider these like tattoos of the jewellery world, perfect for matching with your nearest and dearest or adding a new bracelet for each milstone, child or accomplishment.
