I have a keepsake box for DD's baby things. In it I put a copy of her birth announcement, the lock of hair from her first hair cut, the cards from her baby shower, etc.

They can be cardboard covered with pretty paper, wooden, glass, whatever, and they're a lovely way to store papers (flat storage is good) and can rest on a dresser, occasional table, or on a bookshelf. You can open the box, pull it out and look at it whenever you want, put it back in, and know it's safe.
