Babyware: Cute vs. Classic

A friend of mine is thinking about getting a set of babyware for her first born child. This would be a set of plates, bowls, cups and cutlery. She would probably have her baby use this stuff while he is still young. Then she would clean it up and put it away as a keepsake for him to have when he is older.

What she's been trying to decide is whether she wants to get decorative babyware or more classic babyware. She has a set of her own that her mother had gotten for her. It's a classic set made of sterling silver. She was never allowed to actually eat off of it but her mom did buy it for her when she was young as a keepsake.

She's thought about just passing this set along to her son but she thinks that maybe he should have a set of his own. She likes the idea of the sterling silver set. However, she thinks that if she's going to allow him to actually use the babyware then a decorative set might be better. These sets are really designed more to be attractive to kids. Wow - and I thought choosing my own dinnerware was tough!
