I love the Bee Mine cards, also by Sweet and Lovely Crafts! These would be super cute as gift tags for another gift in this slideshow, or as a Valentine card. Again, they’re easy for any age to make!

These salt dough magnets by Roaming Rosie are memorable and functional. With how much dough one batch makes, you could give these to your child’s extended birth family if you wanted to. A great gift for parents and grandparents!

Mum in the Madhouse’s heart ornaments are a versatile gift. These could decorate gift boxes, or be the gift themselves. I envision a little craft tree with the ornaments hanging off as a sweet Valentine’s decoration, or making the ornaments bigger and using them for the Christmas tree. Either way these could be a yearly gift, showing how your child’s fingers have grown.

This keychain, by Messy Little Monster, allows your child’s birth parent to carry a sweet reminder of his or her child with them. For older kids, perhaps they and their birth parent could each make one and swap them! Kids could put the keychain on their backpack or purse.
