Engraved Baby's First Christmas Ornament

An engraved keepsake for their first Christmas

Keep the memory of their first festive season with an engraved baby first Christmas ornament, personalised with your baby's first name and a Christmas year. The lettering is laser engraved into natural birch wood, creating a classic wooden keepsake to hang on your tree each December.

The cut-out Christmas tree, two snowflakes and little bow frame the name and year, while a satin ribbon adds a soft finishing touch. This wooden first Christmas keepsake makes a thoughtful gift for new parents, grandparents or your own little one.

Your personalised wooden ornament

• Personalised name and year: engraved directly into the natural wooden surface.
• Christmas tree and snowflake design: a delicate, laser-cut round decoration with bow detail.
• Three satin ribbon colours: Pastel Blue, Pastel Pink or Cream.
• Natural birch plywood: approximately 12 cm wide × 12 cm high, excluding the ribbon, and 3 mm thick.
• Made to order in the UK: created by our small family business.
• Free standard UK delivery: delivery upgrades, where available, are shown at checkout.

How to personalise your engraved first Christmas ornament

1. Choose your ribbon colour: Pastel Blue, Pastel Pink or Cream.
2. Enter your baby's first name. Please check the spelling carefully.
3. Enter the four-digit Christmas year you would like engraved. You can choose a past, current or future year.
4. Check all details before adding the ornament to your basket.

Example: Name: Noah | Year: 2026 | Ribbon: Pastel Blue. The finished design reads “Noah's First Christmas 2026”. Enter the first name itself; there is no need to type the full “First Christmas” wording.

The colour choice applies to the satin ribbon. The ornament stays natural wood, with the name, “First Christmas” wording and year engraved into its surface. See the personalisation guide and ribbon comparison in the photos.

For a long or double-barrelled name, unusual characters, an alternative layout or extra wording, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm what will fit. The name size is adjusted to suit the available space.

A natural wooden baby Christmas decoration

Choose pastel blue or pink for a soft seasonal accent, or cream for a neutral Christmas tree. The natural wood and engraved lettering also suit rustic decorations, family keepsake displays and a baby's Christmas Eve box. Bring it out each year as a reminder of their very first Christmas.
