    Hope I'm posting this in the right place if no please move

    Ok so I'm the proud daddy of a soon to be one year old little boy the problem is while my wife was pregnant with him her dad past away with out warning when his body was returned to the family an envelope with all he had in his pocket in it.

    In this envelope was €15 which was straight away hand to me and I was told to get something for the baby when born now with all the buzz of the arrival of my son I forgot all about the money in my bedside locker and took a while to remember so I decided to put it off till the first birthday

    Now I have no idea what I could get that would be along term keep sake for my son and my wife and mother inlaw seem to have completely forgotten bout this money so I'd like to have something as a surprise

    Any ideas people

    Thank you in advance

    Would you consider buying a mint condition coin from this yr- as in the year your son was born and also the year her father gave it to him as such?
    I don't know what's available at the mo but if its something that sounds good to you check out dublinmintoffice.ie

    Obvs it's not a great toy as such..., but it's a keepsake that should be affordable for that price!

    in the same vein as the photo frame, if you want to invest a little more you could have some professionaly done "collage" of photos since they dont have one of the two of them. Some photographer can do some amazing stuff...
