Polar Bear Bauble

A little winter bear with their name on his tummy. Make room on the tree for this personalised polar bear bauble, with a patterned Christmas hat, cosy scarf and two paws raised in greeting. Cut from 3 mm birch plywood, it is laser engraved with one chosen name and finished with a sage green satin ribbon, ready to hang.

The name sits beneath a small snowflake, centred between the bear's paws. It is a lovely way to give a child their own decoration to find on the tree, or to add a personal touch to a Christmas gift for someone who loves bears.

A personalised polar bear bauble for their place on the tree

Rounded ears, a smiling face and big engraved paw pads give this seated bear his friendly character. His winter hat folds to one side, while the striped scarf and snowflake details make him ready for Christmas. The design is cut as one flat piece of wood, with the features engraved directly into the surface.

The natural wood and muted sage ribbon work beautifully with woodland, rustic and Scandinavian-inspired Christmas decorations. They are just as easy to mix with a family's colourful favourites. Hang the bear facing forward so the name can be seen, then bring him out again when it is time to decorate next year.

How to personalise your wooden bear

1. Enter ONE name in “Name to engrave”. For example, Oliver, Amelia or Noah. Enter only the name, without “Name:” or a year.
2. Check spelling, capital letters and punctuation. We use the name as entered, in the lettering style shown in the photos. Longer names are sized to fit the belly.
3. Use “Order notes (optional)” for separate instructions. These notes are not automatically engraved. Include a detail already discussed with us here.
4. Add different names as separate items. Add the first bear to your basket, then return and enter the next name. Increasing the quantity on one item orders identical baubles with that name.

For example, to order for Oliver and Amelia, add one bauble personalised with Oliver, then add another personalised with Amelia. Each item includes one engraved name and a sage green ribbon. Please contact us before ordering if you want extra wording, a date or a different layout, so we can confirm what will fit.

Polar bear ornament details and dimensions

The width is measured across the widest part of the wooden shape. This is a hanging ornament with a flat back and no stand. Photographs showing several names illustrate personalisation options; each bear is sold individually.

A small Christmas gift with a name to remember

Pop a bear into a Christmas Eve box, choose one for each grandchild, or tie it onto a wrapped present so the decoration becomes part of the gift. Its 15 × 12 cm size gives the name and winter details room to show; check the measurements against your stocking or gift box before ordering.

It can mark a baby's first Christmas or join an older child's collection of favourite ornaments. The standard design has no fixed year or first-Christmas wording, so the bear can stay part of their decorations as they grow. Keep it safely displayed out of young children's reach: this wooden keepsake is a decoration, not a toy.

For a tree with a different character for everyone, pair your bear with our personalised snowman bauble, wooden gnome bauble or personalised reindeer bauble, all finished with sage green ribbon.

Natural birch wood and engraved detail

We personalise your bear in our small family business in Hull, UK. The birch grain stays visible around the engraving, with a darker laser-cut edge outlining the shape. The name is engraved into the wood rather than printed or added as a raised layer.

Wood grain, shade and engraving tones can vary slightly from piece to piece. Your chosen name also affects the lettering size and layout. The photos show the design and overall finish; wrapped gifts, greenery and other styling accessories are not included.

Dispatch and delivery

We aim to dispatch on the same working day where possible, and no later than the next working day after payment and complete personalisation details are received. Working days exclude weekends and UK bank holidays. Delivery time is additional. Choose from the services available at checkout and see our shipping policy for current details.

Personalised polar bear bauble FAQs

What size is the polar bear bauble?

The wooden ornament measures approximately 15 cm high × 12 cm wide × 3 mm thick. The height includes the wooden hanging loop and excludes the ribbon. Width is measured across the widest part of the bear.

Where will the name be engraved?

Your chosen name is engraved on the front of the belly, below the small snowflake and between the paws. We centre the lettering within this space and adjust its size to suit the name.

Is personalisation included in the price?

Yes. The price includes one wooden polar bear bauble, one engraved name and the sage green satin hanging ribbon. There is no ribbon colour selection to complete.

Is this a wooden ornament or a soft teddy bear?

This is a flat, bear-shaped hanging decoration made from 3 mm birch plywood. The winter hat, scarf and paw details are engraved into the wood. It is not a soft toy, a freestanding figure or a hollow round bauble.

Is the name printed or raised?

The name is laser engraved directly into the wood. It is not a sticker, a printed transfer or a separate layer of raised lettering.

Can I order several bears with different names?

Yes. Enter the first name and add that bauble to your basket, then return to the product page and repeat with the next name. Increase the quantity on one personalised item only when you want identical baubles with the same name.

Will a longer or double-barrelled name fit?

We adjust the lettering size and placement to suit the available engraving area. Longer names may appear smaller. Enter the exact spelling, capital letters and punctuation you want, including any hyphen or apostrophe.

Can I add a year or an extra message?

The standard design includes one name on the front, with no year. Please contact us before ordering if you would like extra wording, a date or a different layout, so we can confirm what fits. Optional order notes are not automatically engraved.

Can I use it for a baby's first Christmas?

Yes, it can be a named keepsake for a baby's first Christmas or a Christmas gift for an older child. The standard design shows the name only, without 'First Christmas' wording or a year. It is a decoration, not a toy, and should be displayed out of young children's reach.

Is the three-name photo a set?

No. The photograph featuring Amelia, Oliver and Noah shows examples of different names. Each bauble is sold individually. Gift boxes, wrapping, greenery and other styling accessories are not included.

When will my personalised bear be dispatched?

We aim to dispatch on the same working day where possible, and no later than the next working day after payment and complete personalisation details are received. Weekends and UK bank holidays are excluded. Delivery time is additional; available services are shown at checkout.

How do I look after the wooden bauble?

Keep it indoors and dry. Dust with a soft, dry cloth and store flat with protective wrapping between Christmases. Take care around the hanging loop and hat tip. Natural differences in the wood grain, colour and engraving tones are part of the material.
