Year one goes past in a blur and almost nothing from it gets kept. This glossy ceramic heart in blue is the piece that does: "Baby's First Christmas."
Hand pressed in the USA with the graphic fused under a glossy glaze, built to come out of the box every December for twenty years. New parents, first-time grandparents, a December baby, a shower held in October: this is the one.

Perfect Gift For
New parents and first-time grandparents, baby showers, a December or January baby, adoption celebrations, godparents, aunts and uncles buying their first Christmas gifts for the baby, a first Christmas home after a long hospital stay, and the grandparents who have been asking for photos daily. It is the first of the Christmas ornaments that belongs to the child, and it will still be on a tree long after the rest of the Christmas decor has been replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this ornament have the year printed on it?
A: No. A printed year makes the ornament unusable if the baby arrives in January or if it is bought a season early, so this one is left undated on purpose.
Q: Can the baby's name be added?
A: This version is not personalized, which is what lets it ship straight away in December. Write the name on the box or pair it with a card if you want it recorded.
Q: Is it safe with a baby or toddler in the house?
A: It is an ornament rather than a toy and should hang out of reach like any other. Ceramic is sturdier than glass, but it is not childproof.
Q: What is different about the blue and pink versions?
A: Only the colourway. Wording, size, material and construction are identical, and plenty of customers buy both for twins.
Q: Is an ornament a good baby shower gift?
A: It suits a shower well because it needs no size, no registry and no shelf space, and it marks something still ahead of the parents rather than another item they already own.
Q: Will the design wear off over time?
A: The graphic is fused under the glaze rather than printed on top, so it does not scratch or fade. Stored wrapped in tissue, it looks new in twenty years.
