Personalised Baby's First Christmas Card & Bauble

Celebrate a gorgeous new arrival with our first Christmas card and bauble, featuring a thoughtful card, plus a keepsake tree decoration that the whole family will love for years to come.

Fluffy penguin chicks are so adorable, which is why we chose them as the theme for this new baby Christmas gift. We're pretty sure new parents will find it pretty cute, too!

The best bit about this baby's first Christmas card is that the front is wooden, and the wooden penguin pops out, so it can be hung on the tree or around the home this Christmas - and then makes a gorgeous keepsake for future festive seasons.

This sweet Emperor penguin chick was hand-painted by Betsy. If you're curious, we made a time-lapse of the process over on Instagram. 

The whole card is UV printed directly onto sustainable poplar plywood creating a wonderfully unique Christmas greeting card. On the card there is space for your own personalised greeting.

Beneath the penguin there is space for the baby's name, and you can add a message to be printed on the card, too.

A wonderful card and gift combined and so perfect for a child's first Christmas, or any Christmas really - older children will love the magic of the penguin coming out of the woods to live on their tree.

The wooden card is presented in a white slide-open gift box, so it makes an equally stunning card/gift to send to family and loved ones that you might not see over the festive period.

Made From

We've found a great and sustainably sourced poplar ply for this personalised Christmas decoration from some wonderful timber merchants practically on our doorstep. It means we can keep our carbon footprint low which is really important to us. The Christmas decoration comes with a length of gold ribbon to make the penguin ready to hang on your tree.

As a natural product, there may be some variations in the colour and texture of the wood, including thinner or thicker growth patterns from the tree and the odd knot or burr in the wood. This is what makes natural wood so beautiful and is part of the product, not a flaw.

Christmas Decoration Dimensions

The personalised Christmas card measures 12 x 12cm and the penguin hanging decoration measures approximately 8 x 8cm.
