Bubzi Co Baby Handprint & Footprint Kit: Top Alternatives & How to Cho
Capturing your baby's handprints and footprints creates a memory you'll treasure forever. Whether you're preparing for a birth, celebrating a milestone, or gifting to new parents, a handprint or footprint keepsake transforms a simple moment into lasting art.
Littlest Bundle offers handprint and footprint kits designed for modern parents—no medical-grade clay mess, no guesswork, and full personalization control. Below, we'll guide you through the options, show you what works for each family, and explain exactly what to check before you order.
What's Inside a Handprint Kit?
Handprint and footprint keepsakes come in several formats, each suited to different needs.
DIY Ink or Paint Kits are hands-on: roll baby's hand or foot on an inkpad or paint palette, press onto paper or canvas, frame it yourself. These cost less upfront but require timing, clean hands (literally), and space to dry and store.
Pre-Printed or Professionally Printed Kits let you send baby's prints to Littlest Bundle, where artists or machines transfer them onto keepsake items—personalized prints, blankets, or boxes. You skip the mess and keep proofs for approval before production.
Engraved or Embossed Keepsake Boxes embed baby's actual prints into wood, acrylic, or metal. These are heirloom-grade: no framing needed, no fading, built to last generations.
Combo Kits combine a printable memory book page with a keepsake item—ideal if you want multiple formats in one order.
Best Handprint Kits by Occasion & Timeline
| Keepsake Type | Best For | Timeline | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY Paint Kit | Budget-conscious, hands-on parents | Same-day | Low cost, instant result, personal touch |
| Personalized Print | Minimalist decor, wall art lovers | 2–5 days production + 2–5 days US shipping | Professional finish, ready to frame or hang |
| Engraved Wooden Box | Heirloom collectors, nursery keepsakes | 2–5 days production + 2–5 days US shipping | Durable, elegant, doubles as storage |
| Baby Memory Book Page | Documentation-focused parents | 2–5 days production + 2–5 days US shipping | Combines prints with birth stats, dates, name |
| Milestone Blanket + Prints | Gift-givers, multi-purpose need | 2–5 days production + 2–5 days US shipping | Functional and sentimental, grows with baby |
The right option depends on three factors: your timeline (DIY today, printed items 1–2 weeks), your space (wall art, keepsake box, or blanket), and your budget (DIY kits are cheapest; engraved or printed keepsakes cost more but last forever).
Handprint Kits as Baby Shower Gifts
Gifting a handprint or footprint kit shows you understand the new-parent moment. It says: I want you to slow down and capture this.
For the registry-conscious giver: Send a kit as part of a baby gift basket. Pair it with a soft blanket, a new-mom keepsake, or a big-sibling gift so the entire package feels complete.
For long-distance supporters: Choose a personalized printed keepsake or engraved box. New parents don't have to assemble it themselves—it arrives ready to display or store.
For the detail-oriented giver: Pair a personalized baby blanket with a handprint kit. Both preserve baby's name and early details in one cohesive gift.
For milestone moments: Give a handprint kit at the baby shower, then send a follow-up first Christmas ornament or keepsake box once baby arrives. Two gifts, two memories.

What to Check Before You Order
Before clicking purchase, confirm these details so your keepsake arrives perfect.
Spelling and names: If the kit includes your baby's name, verify every letter. Littlest Bundle shows a proof before production—review it carefully. Names on heirlooms are permanent.
Dates: Birth date, delivery date, or milestone date? Confirm which date belongs on your keepsake and in what format (full date, month and year only, etc.).
Size and placement: Will prints go on a 5×7 card, an 8×10 print, a blanket corner, or inside a box lid? Measure your frame or wall space first so you order the right dimensions.
Personalization details: Beyond the handprints, what else do you want? Baby's full name, initials, birth weight, length, time of birth? Each detail is made to order, and proofs show everything.
Timeline: New parents are exhausted. If you're sending this as a gift, order early. US delivery takes 2–5 business days production plus 2–5 days shipping. UK/EU delivery is 5–10 days. See shipping details for specifics.
Material and durability: Oil-based paints fade; professional printing and engraving do not. If this is an heirloom piece, choose fade-resistant options like engraved wood, acrylic, or archival printing.

Handprint Kits vs. Other Baby Memory Keepsakes
You might wonder: is a handprint kit enough, or should I combine it with other keepsakes?
Handprint kits alone capture a single moment: baby's prints at one age. Beautiful, focused, quick.
Baby memory books add pages: first photo, stats, milestones, month-by-month prints. More comprehensive, but require ongoing input.
Personalized baby blankets serve dual purpose: daily use plus sentimental keepsake. Include embroidered or printed details like name and birth date.
Keepsake boxes store prints, hospital bracelets, first photos, and tiny items. Organized memory keeping.
Smart combo: Start with a handprint kit, add a memory book page for birth stats, and use a personalized blanket for everyday comfort and photos. Three keepsakes, one coordinated story.

Final Thoughts: Why Handprint Kits Matter
Your baby's hands and feet change every month. By 18 months, newborn prints are a memory. A handprint or footprint keepsake freezes that tiny, fleeting detail in time—something no photo fully captures.
Whether you choose a simple DIY kit, a personalized printed keepsake, or an engraved heirloom box, you're creating something intentional. You're saying: This moment matters. This baby matters. I want to remember.
Explore handprint and footprint options today. Order early if this is a gift. And if you're combining it with other newborn gifts or baby shower gifts, we're here to help you build a gift that new parents will treasure forever.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need baby's actual handprints to order from Littlest Bundle?
It depends on the kit type. DIY kits you create yourself at home. Pre-printed keepsakes require you to send baby's prints (via photo, scan, or mail), which artists transfer during production.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 2–5 business days. You'll see a proof before production begins. US shipping adds 2–5 days; UK/EU adds 5–10 days.
Can I request changes after I approve the proof?
Yes. If you spot an error in the proof, contact Littlest Bundle before production starts. Changes after production begins may incur additional fees or delays.
What if I misspell baby's name?
Review the proof carefully. Every detail—spelling, dates, punctuation—appears before printing or engraving. Catching errors at proof stage prevents costly reprints.
Are handprint kits suitable as baby shower gifts?
Absolutely. They're meaningful, personalized, and practical. Pair them with baby shower gifts or newborn keepsakes to create a complete gift package.
Can I combine a handprint kit with other keepsakes?
Yes. Many parents add handprint kits to personalized baby blankets, memory books, or keepsake boxes for a multi-layered memory collection.
Is there a size limit for personalized handprint kits?
No. You can order small prints (5×7), large wall art (11×14), or integrated keepsakes like blankets and boxes. Choose what fits your space and budget.
