New baby gifts: the personalised print of the big day
A new baby gift is rarely for the baby: it is for the parents, who will keep the one that carries a date. A personalised print does exactly that: the first name large, then the day, hour, weight and length. Eighteen designs, eighteen ways of saying it: the flowering arch for the classic, the star map, the starry name for that sky in the letters, the animal for the nursery, the rainbow for pastel, the portrait for the photograph, the watercolour for that same photograph, painted, the 3D cartoon for a baby who is the hero of the film, the silhouette for a line drawing, the star sign for baby’s constellation, the weather print for the weather on the day, the birth-year timeline for the world that year, the film for an arrival announced like a premiere, the trailer to announce the pregnancy, the soundwave for the first word, the birth card among its photos and the twelve months on a dial. Allow ten days across Europe.

Personalised Carousel from above family photo poster — the family in a circle, in pastel
For a new baby joining the family: a carousel seen from above in soft shades, the baby and the family in a circle around the roof. The poster for parents who want the whole family on the wall, in colours that don’t shout from across the room.
From €8.90
-
Personalised 3D animated movie baby or child portrait poster — their photo as a 3D cartoon
A photo of the baby, or of an older child, redrawn as the hero of a 3D animated movie, with their name as the subtitle. If a parent is holding the baby, only the baby is drawn. No date or weight needed, just one photo the parents already love, for the nursery wall.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Newborn photo poster — your photos around the birth card
The card once slipped into the cot, surrounded by photos: name, date, weight and length in the middle, four to ten baby photos above and below. For parents who have the measurements jotted in a notebook but not yet on the wall.
From €8.90
-
Personalised 12 months baby photo poster — the first year in twelve photos
To mark a first birthday: twelve round photos, one a month, set like the hours of a clock, the twelfth month at noon. Parents see their baby grow at a glance, with the name in the middle. A gift for when the year has just ended.
From €8.90
-
Personalised child’s name photo poster — their name in your photos
Their name, each letter filled with a photo: the first months, in order. To hang in the nursery, or to give the parents with the grandparents’ own snapshots.
From €8.90
-
Personalised birth print — flowering arch
The classic, and the one everyone recognises: the eucalyptus arch, the name in a script hand, and the weight, length and time in three medallions. This is the print parents hang above the cot and leave there for twenty years.
From €8.90
-
Personalised birth print with photo — the first days
The grandparents’ gift. The photograph of the first days in a ringed medallion — the one nobody can find in a phone three years later. We warn you before you buy if its resolution falls short of the size you picked.
From €8.90
-
Watercolour baby portrait poster, personalised — your baby’s photo, painted
Here, the baby’s own photo becomes a watercolour: the face, the first name underneath, and the date of birth and measurements as a line of text. No time or place to fill in, just a lovely photo. The portrait appears in about thirty seconds, and it is the one that will be printed.
From €8.90
-
Personalised birth star map — the stars on the day
For parents who like a gift that rests on a calculation: the stars that really stood above the hospital at that hour, and the exact phase of the moon that night. Nothing on it is drawn at random.
From €8.90
-
Personalised animal birth print — fox, bear, rabbit or whale
The one that really ends up in the nursery, and still works at five years old. Fox, bear cub, rabbit or whale in soft flat shapes and the chosen palette — weight, length and place fit on three rounded chips.
From €8.90
-
Personalised rainbow birth print — calligraphed name
Pastel boho without the sugar: four muted arcs, two clouds and the name written by hand. It is the one that suits a room already decorated, because it brings a colour rather than a theme.
From €8.90
-
Personalised silhouette birth print — profile, hands or tiny feet
The plainest one: a fine line drawing — the profile, the sleeping baby, the hands or the tiny feet — and below it nothing but text: the name, the birth details, the place, the parents. It is the safe gift when you have not seen the nursery, because it decides nothing on the parents' behalf.
From €8.90
-
Starry-sky birth poster with photo — My Birth, soft and heartfelt
The softest on the page: the real starry sky of the big day in a gold-ringed disc, the baby’s photo in a heart, a sleeping moon and a teddy bear on its cloud. It needs the time and place, and the photo is optional.
From €8.90
-
Starry-sky birth poster for the nursery — My Birth, soft and heartfelt
The one you can give before the baby has even arrived: the same soft scene, the real starry sky of the big day, but no photo. A name, a date, a time and a place are enough.
From €8.90
-
Birth poster with the weather of the day and starry sky — My Birth, soft and heartfelt
The one that keeps the weather of the day: the starry sky of the big day, the baby’s photo in a small heart and the real weather of the birth — temperature, wind, sunrise and sunset. It needs a past date, the time and the place.
From €8.90
-
Personalised star sign birth print — baby’s constellation
For those who only have the date: the sign is worked out from it, and its constellation is drawn at the centre of a zodiac wheel, with the real moon of that day. It is the only print on this page that draws stars without asking for the time of birth.
From €8.90
-
Personalised baby birth movie poster — the star of the year
The print that raises a smile on unwrapping: baby’s name as a film title, three five-star reviews signed Nana, Grandad or Uncle, and credits with the showtime, running time and weight. Grandparents and friends give it, parents hang it.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Pregnancy Announcement Poster — Film Trailer Gift
To announce the pregnancy before the birth: a trailer with a title, “expected” in the due month and three preview reviews. Parents-to-be hang it or photograph it for the family; a relative can also give it to them.
From €8.90
-
Starry name birth print — their name under the stars
The name is the whole print, and its letters are filled with the stars that were above the place of birth at the minute of birth. Below, the star sign, the constellation directly overhead and the moon of that moment. It needs the time and place.
From €8.90
-
Personalised “What was the weather like?” print — the real weather on your big day
The one that gets people talking: the weather on the day, looked up in the archives for the town of the birth — bright sunshine, rain or the first snow — with the wind, the sunrise and the moon of that day. All it takes is the date and the place.
From €8.90
-
Personalised soundwave print — the shape of a voice, a first word, a voice message
The one that keeps a voice: baby’s first “mummy” or first laugh, added as an audio file and drawn as a wave — bars, ring, lines or gradient. The sound never leaves the giver’s device; the poster keeps only its shape.
From €8.90
-
Personalised birth year poster, a birthday gift — the year in twelve months, and the day of the birth
To tell the world a child arrives in: some fifteen events from the year, from science to sport, laid out on a twelve-month timeline, with the first name and the exact day of the birth in the middle. A gift for parents who like a date to mean something.
From €8.90
Which one to choose

|---|---|
| You know the weight, the length and the time | The flowering arch: it is built to show them |
| You already have a photograph you like | The portrait |
| The print is for the baby’s room | The animal, or the rainbow |
| You’re giving it before the baby arrives | The rainbow: the name and the due date are enough — or the trailer, to announce the pregnancy |
| You only have the first name and the date | The rainbow: it stays balanced without weight or length — or the film, for a smile |
| You have not seen the nursery | The silhouette: it goes with anything |
| You only have the date and want stars | The star sign: it is worked out from the date alone |
| You want the parents to laugh | The film: the name becomes the title and you sign the reviews |
| You are announcing a pregnancy | The trailer: the title, the due month and three preview reviews |
| You want the name to be the whole print | The starry name: its letters are filled with the sky of the birth |
| You want a gift nobody else will have given | The weather print: the weather on the day of the birth, looked up for the town |
| You have a lovely photo of the baby and want it painted | The watercolour baby portrait poster |
| You have a recording of baby’s first word or first laugh | The soundwave print: the shape of that voice, read in your browser, with nothing uploaded |
| You want to tell the world the child arrives in | The birth-year poster: some fifteen events from around the world, with the birth slotted in on its real date |
| You want the baby to be the hero of a cartoon | The 3D animated movie portrait: one photo, their name as the subtitle |
| You want the whole family, in soft colours | The carousel from above: the family in a circle, in pastel |
When it is given, and when to order
| Occasion | When | When to order |
|---|---|---|
| The hospital visit | the first days | Too early: neither the weight nor the time is known |
| Coming home | one to two weeks later | Order as soon as the name is announced |
| The baby shower | usually the third trimester | The name is enough; weight and length come later |
| The christening or naming ceremony | often three to six months | Ten days ahead |
| The first birthday | a year to the day | Ten days ahead |
Weight and time are only known after the birth: a print ordered beforehand is still a fine gift, but it will not carry them.
Frequently asked questions
What occasions is a birth print given for?
Coming home is the right moment: the name, the hour and the weight are known, and the house is being rearranged around the baby. It is also given at the christening, at the first birthday, or at a baby shower with the name alone. Grandparents often give it at the first Christmas, once a photograph finally exists.
Can it be ordered before the birth?
Yes, provided you accept that the weight, the length and the time will be missing: they are only known afterwards. The layout stays balanced without them — empty medallions disappear rather than leaving a hole. If you want everything on it, wait for the announcement: prints are made to order, there is no stock to anticipate.
Which size suits a nursery?
30 × 40 cm is the truest above a cot or a changing table: large enough to read standing up, small enough not to overwhelm a small room. A4 suits a busy wall or an existing frame; 50 × 70 belongs in a hallway or a living room rather than beside a bed.
Frame it, or buy the print alone?
The four commonest sizes match standard frames sold everywhere, and many parents already own one. Take the frame if the gift is handed over on the day and has to go up straight away — a rolled sheet left at the foot of a crib often waits months.
What if the name changes at the last minute?
Prints are made to order, so write to us as soon as you can: until we start printing, the name can still be corrected. After that the piece is personalised and cannot be redone without a fresh print run.
