Why do babies get silver cups?
The tradition of gifting silver baby cups has continued since the Victorian age. Silver is a metal considered valuable; hence the gift is considered valuable. It is also believed that metal attracts wealth and abundance in the baby’s life. Further, these silver gift items were seen as something that could be passed to coming generations, thus creating an heirloom.
