Pearhead Baby Book - Chevron Blue

Love these books. Bought for my first baby 8 years ago and price hasn’t risen much since. Love the mess free ink stamp for feet and hands. Pages of the book are sensible, about mum and dad, basic family tree, milestones.

POSITIVES: - GREY COLOUR THROUGHOUT. A few reviews have pointed out the lack of colour, but I like this neutral look - it means that I can write with different coloured pens and add colourful photos and embellishments - I like that this personalised content will stand out more than the generic borders and images. The pages have patterned borders and there are occasional illustrations. I bought this when I was pregnant and didn't know whether my baby was a boy or a girl, so I like that this is gender neutral. - DETAILED. IT is detailed, as other reviews have pointed out, but I like this and have enjoyed filling it in so far. - INCLUDED PRINT KIT. The mess-free ink print kit it comes with - easy to use - we did this when our baby was a couple of weeks old and it was quick and easy and mess free - baby didn't even know we'd done it! You get 3 little cards that are the perfect size for the window in the front of the book - COVER - nice and thick and padded and I like the windows for the footprint and photo to personalise the cover of the book - BOX - comes with a box and protective plastic sleeve which we've kept the book in to keep it clean and in good condition - LARGE SIZE of the book and good quality NEGATIVES: - American phrasing on the 'world I came into' page (it mentions the price of 'a gallon of gas') - Could do with some more cards for the ink prints - we used one for the cover, and two for the first prints page (1 for hand and one for foot) so could do with some spares in case of smudging and mistakes - Cost - expensive compared to other baby record books - Like another reviewer pointed out, it would make more sense to have the 1st Christmas page before the 1st-5th birthday and school pages Pages it includes (in order of appearance): - Introduction page - space for baby's full name, date of birth and birth weight - About Mummy, with page for photos - About Daddy, with page for photos - The story of Mummy and Daddy, with page for photos - Family tree double page - Mummy's Pregnant (a page about finding out about the pregnancy) with page for photos/scan images (I made a collage of my 5 scan images on this page and has space in between to label them with notes) - When Mummy was Pregnant (a double page about during pregnancy with a space for a photo or scan image) - Here I Come - a double page about the birth with a space for a photo - My first prints - a single page space for a hand and foot print - My Birth announcement - single page - All my visitors - I Got These Presents - Home Sweet Home - a double page about first coming home with one page being for photos - The world I came into - a page about prices of things and things that were popular in the year that baby was born - Firsts - a double page - Favourite things - a double page with one page being for photos - Growth table single page - Sleep single page with space for a photo - eating/food page - bath page, with space for a photo of first bath - birthday pages - the 1st birthday is a double page, with one page being for photos, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th birthday pages are single pages - Me and My Friends page with space for photo - Activity time page with space for photo - School days double page with space for photo - double page for 'art I made at school' - blank other than the heading so that you can stick things in - My First Christmas double page - with one page for photos - other special memories double page - blank other than the heading - me and my family double page - blank other than the heading for photos

Beautiful product, came exactly as pictured! It's very detailed and asks a lot of questions; which in a way is good- on the other hand if you're looking for a quick photo book this product may not be for you! Perhaps this is aimed for the "first time Mam" with more time on your hands. The procduct includes: • baby book • ink pad and 3 bits of paper • instructions • protective casing to keep book in good condition. My favourite part about this was the ink pad to get hand/footprints, as the system they use the ink never touches baby's skin! And the outcome is fabulous and a lovely sentemental touch. 100% worth the price, very affordable for such high quality.

Bought one a few years back so was really happy to find they were still available. Lovely memory book, detailed pages and lots of room for photos. Some sections instructed and other pages blank for your choice. It will be something really nice for them to look back on.

Mixed thoughts based on a memory book I have for my son that is really colourful. THIS book is very plain, the information/pages are plentiful - there's loads to fill in which if done properly will be nice to read back on but it's very boring to look at, a couple of grey illustrations through out. This may be to not distract from the photos you'll put in yourself of baby. A book I have for my son isn't as through in itself information but it is so colourful and has beautiful drawings. This does offer pages to say what happened up to the child's 5th birthday which is nice and also what happened on first school day. Overall a good comprehensive keepsake, just could have done with a bit more colour for first impressions).

An absolutely gorgeous book, on great quality paper and I am already excited to read it with my new born daughter once she’s old enough!!! The questions are detailed and interesting and I was very pleasantly surprised that it includes sections “about Mummy”, “about Daddy” and “Mummy and Daddy” to put information and photos about what we, her parents were like, how we looked and how we met for baby to look back at! The family tree is a nice touch and it even covers all the way to the 5th Birthday. Would definitely buy again, especially as a gift for other new parents. Excellent!

Such a beautiful baby record book! I spent ages researching baby record books before purchasing this one and sent two previous ones back as I wasn’t happy with them. This book is perfect! Just the right amount of prompted writing space and photo space. There are lots of pages for baby’s first year and then a double page for each year 1-5 as well as pages for milestones like baby’s first Christmas etc. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The pages are grey and white and illustrated beautifully. It comes in a box with a plastic cover so that you can keep it protected for years to come. I’d definitely recommend getting this baby record book over any other.

Love it, especially the foot and handprint ink pads, no mess, just hard to get LO to stay put :D Pages to give info about mommy, daddy, mommy and daddy, family tree, baby arrival and many more... also 1 Page each for 1st to 5th birthday.

Such a beautiful book I'm so glad I purchased it I was able to put in pictures and add notes to the picture the fact that it has a print pad so you can put your child's hand or footprint is also very sweet

Es precioso pero está en francés

Da poco è nata la nostra bimba. Questo libro è fatto benissimo! In copertina si può inserire la sua foto e l'impronta del piedino/manina e all'interno tutto è già strutturato per raccogliere i ricordi: dall'albero genealogico della famiglia ai dettagli sulla nascita (peso/orario/lunghezza...) Inoltre ci sono sezioni dedicate alla mamma, al papà, a come si sono conosciuti, al racconto del parto e a tutti i vari compleanni, inizio della scuola...Praticamente un libro che "cresce" parallelamente alla bambina. Stiamo costruendo un bellissimo ricordo.

Absolutely loved it, cute and reminds you what important moment to place as well Perfect gift for my little one

good one
