Our foil hand and footprint kits are mess-free, stress-free ways to capture your baby's tiny hand or footprints at home. The kit includes everything you need to take clear prints using safe, inkless wipes and special reactive paper. We then transform these prints into stunning foil keepsakes using our exclusive Foil Fusion Technology™.
Each kit contains:
Each kit allows you to create prints in one of these combinations:
Absolutely! Our inkless wipes are completely non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and contain no chemicals, dyes, pigments, alcohol, or parabens. They're dermatologically tested and safe for even the tiniest newborns. You can even use them in the hospital right after birth.
Taking the prints takes less than 5 minutes! It's designed for busy parents and can even be done while your baby is sleeping.
Choose a calm moment when your baby is relaxed - after feeding is ideal, or even while they're sleeping. The process is so gentle it won't disturb them.
No worries at all! That's why we include extra wipes and multiple sheets of reactive paper. Even if your baby moves, you'll likely get several good imprints. We can also remove smudges during our editing process.
Not at all! Our kits are designed for anyone to use successfully. You simply take the prints and leave the artistic transformation to us.
We include multiple sheets of reactive paper so you can take several prints. We then select the best ones and clean up any imperfections before creating your foil keepsake.
We're the only company using Foil Fusion Technology™ - our exclusive process that seamlessly bonds foil to premium cardstock. Unlike traditional methods that glue foil on top (causing speckles and peeling), our process creates a flawless, durable finish that lasts a lifetime.
No! Our Foil Fusion Technology™ permanently bonds the foil to the card, ensuring no peeling, fading, or deterioration. Your keepsake is designed to last generations.
We offer a carefully curated selection including gold, silver and rose gold. Each is chosen for its richness, clarity, and timeless appeal.

Our kits are £40 making them an affordable way to create a luxury keepsake. Additional prints and items are available for small additional costs.
Unlike baby clothes that are quickly outgrown or toys that break, our foil prints are designed to last a lifetime. When you consider the quality, durability, and emotional value, they offer exceptional value for such a meaningful keepsake.

DIY methods using ink or paint are messy, can irritate baby's skin, and often produce smudged results. Our kits are mess-free, completely safe, and produce professional-quality results every time.
Clay and plaster require babies to stay still longer, can be messy, and the results are fragile and easily broken. Our foil prints are durable, can be reproduced if needed, and the process is much gentler for babies.
The only "disadvantage" is that you need to wait for us to create your finished keepsake - but we think the professional quality and lifetime durability make it worth the wait!
It's not very often that this happens, as we can usually always work with what you produce and edit any imperfections. However, if you are really unhappy, we will send another set of wipes and paper out to you free of charge. All we ask is that you cover the shipping and handling fee of £4.95.
No problem! Just contact us with your order details (name and email address) and we'll help you find your information.
We'll work with you to make any necessary adjustments. We won't proceed to printing until you're satisfied.
Please contact us immediately and we'll send a replacement kit at no charge.
If you contact us quickly after submitting, we may be able to make changes. Once we've started production, changes become more difficult, but we'll do our best to help.
Yes! Our gentle process is safe for premature babies, and many NICU parents have used our kits to capture precious early moments.
As long as the child's hand or foot fits onto A5 (the size of the reactive paper) it won't be a problem. While designed for babies, our kits work beautifully for toddlers and older children too. Many families create sibling prints which display both the younger and older child's handprints - this is very popular.
We understand that not all baby journeys have happy endings. Please contact us directly if you'd like to discuss creating a memorial keepsake - we'll handle your request with the utmost care and sensitivity.
