The arrival of a new baby is always time for celebration. If you know someone who’s just become a parent, why not surprise them with a handmade gift that will remind them of these precious early days? While there are lots of Cricut ideas for newborn gifts, we love this baby milestone disc set, which parents can use when taking photos as their baby grows. Just think: no more scrolling back to work out when a photo was taken and how old bub was at the time! This is a practical and beautiful gift that will help them treasure special memories forever.
