Gift at a Glance
A round piece of natural slate in dark charcoal, laser engraved in pale grey with a line drawing of a baby sitting in a diaper and holding a teddy bear, with three small hearts floating beside it. The first name is engraved large across the top with a second name line beneath it, the birth date and birth time run down the left of the baby, the length and weight down the right, and the city and state sit centered along the bottom.
Why You'll Love It
This is a birth announcement you can hang on a tree. Everything a card would have told people, the day, the time, the weight, the length, the town where it all happened, is engraved on one small piece of stone instead of ending up in a drawer.
Slate has a look that photographs and printed keepsakes cannot copy. The face is a deep, cloudy charcoal with a natural texture, and the laser cuts through to a soft pale grey, so the baby and the teddy bear read almost like chalk on stone. Every piece splits a little differently, so the surface is never quite the same twice.
Because the town line is part of the design, this personalized baby's first Christmas ornament works for families who moved the year the baby came, or who want the hospital city on record. The engraving is permanent, personalization is free, and it ships within 23 hours from MyOrnament.com.
Helpful Details
All seven fields are laser engraved directly into the stone, so nothing is printed on top and nothing will fade. The ornament hangs from a jute cord knotted through a drilled hole at the top, which sits well against the raw stone finish. Slate has some weight to it, so hang it on a sturdier branch closer to the trunk.
