World of Mies memorybox

The most beautiful personalised memory boxes

This really is one of the most special newborn gifts! Mies painted the sweetest animals for these personalised memory boxes. Each design is created especially with the child’s name, an optional date of birth and a cheerful hand-painted animal.

The memory boxes make a wonderful gift for a birth, christening, birthday or other special milestone. Parents can use them to keep all those precious first keepsakes safe: a first outfit, tiny shoes, dummy, hat, favourite cuddly toy, birth announcement, ultrasound photos, photographs or little notes to treasure for later.

Whether you choose a lion, deer, giraffe, bunny, elephant, sea turtle or jungle theme, every memory box is lovingly designed, making it a beautiful addition to the nursery and a meaningful keepsake for parents.

What our customers say about our memory boxes

Our memory boxes are often chosen as a newborn gift, christening gift or personalised keepsake for the nursery. Customers especially love the hand-painted animals, the beautiful finish and the idea of keeping all those precious first memories together in one special place.

I ordered the memory box as a newborn gift and I’m so happy with it! The box was personalised with the baby’s name and date of birth, beautifully wrapped and ready to give as a gift. The final result looked absolutely gorgeous. It was very well received – the parents loved it! A unique and meaningful gift that I would definitely give again.

I recently became a proud grandmother to my first grandchild and had been looking well in advance for an original, personal gift. Then I came across this webshop and was immediately drawn to the beautifully hand-painted animals. There is so much choice for a lovely newborn gift or something special for when they’re a little older. I chose a personalised memory box with the flamingo print, including the baby’s name and date of birth. First, you receive the design by email with the name and date of birth for approval. About three days later, it arrived safely and very well packaged, which is so important. The memory box turned out absolutely beautiful! The parents were delighted with it and it fits perfectly in the nursery. Really beautifully done. World of Mies has so many lovely products – plates, mugs, growth charts and much more – and they can all be personalised. A feast for the eyes, not only for us but especially for the children as they grow older. You’re sure to find something special at World of Mies – everything is made with so much passion. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve ordered from World of Mies several times before. This time, I ordered a memory box for my newborn granddaughter. Such a beautiful box! The service was wonderful too. Mies noticed that the parcel was taking longer than expected and contacted me to check if everything was okay. Luckily, I was able to let her know the next day that the box had arrived safely. The personalised picnic blankets are absolutely beautiful too.

In March, I entered a giveaway through Mamaplaats. My daughter was expecting her first baby, so I entered on her behalf. When I found out I was one of the three winners, I was absolutely thrilled! On 3 July, my beautiful granddaughter was born, and last week we received the personalised memory box, plate and mug, a set of muslin cloths and a lovely card. What an amazing gift! The quality is beautiful and everything looks absolutely gorgeous. I’m so proud that my granddaughter gets to receive such a special gift. Thank you so much, Mies!
