A baby rattle keepsake in shining...wood

When you think of a baby rattle as a keepsake gift, silver is probably the first material that pops to mind. But I've just found a wooden one that's so gorgeous, it's giving silver a run for its money. The Timbur Baby Rattle combines traditional woodworking skills with computer design to create a stunning piece of design. The flowing lines of the all-natural wood come to life with a high-polished surface, and the natural shell beads inside turn it from mere clutch toy to baby-pleasing rattle. And the natural oils and wax used in the finishing means no need to panic when it ends up in a little mouth. As it will.

Only one of the three types of maple are in stock now, but they're all equally gorgeous. Lucky babies. -Liz
