A name changes the status of an object. It’s no longer just another toy; it’s *theirs*, and it’s often the one parents put aside years later. Here is what we personalize, and what you should know before ordering.
🧩 For learning their name
A name is the first word a child recognizes. Wooden name puzzles, personalized educational puzzles, and felt activity books turn it into a game: letters can be removed and put back, and the board itself confirms when it's correct.
🌙 For the nursery
Personalized nightlights bring the name to life: animal nightlights, soccer jersey nightlights. Personalized blankets and throws, wooden piggy banks: these are the items that remain in the room long after the toy of the moment is forgotten.
🎽 For everyday life
Things used daily that often get lost at daycare or school: embroidered backpacks, pom-pom beanies, bibs, meal sets, chunky knit sweaters, and self-inking stamps to mark the rest. A name also solves a practical problem.
What you should know before ordering
1. Double-check the spelling
A personalized item is made just for you: a typo cannot be fixed after the fact. Double-check the name you've entered before finalizing your order, including accents and capital letters.
2. Account for production time
Engraving or embroidery time is added to shipping time. The turnaround time is indicated on each product page. For a specific date, such as a birthday or birth, order personalized items first.
3. Choose based on longevity
A beanie is worn for one season, but a piggy bank or name puzzle lasts through childhood. For a birth gift, aim for something that will remain visible in the room.
Note: long names don't look the same on all items. On a puzzle, each letter is a piece: the longer the name, the thinner the pieces. Dimensions are listed on the product page.

Frequently Asked Questions
✍️ Can I include a name with an accent or hyphen?
Yes in most cases, but the appearance depends on the product and the technique. The input field on each product page indicates accepted characters. If you have questions about a hyphenated name, contact us before ordering.
⏱️ How long until I receive it?
Production time is in addition to shipping time, and both are indicated on the product page. This is why you should order personalized items before your other gifts, not the day before.
↩️ Can a personalized item be exchanged?
An item made to your request with a name cannot be resold. The exact terms are in our General Terms and Conditions: all the more reason to double-check the spelling before finalizing your order.
