First Birthday Card

Turning one is such a special moment – not just for the little one, but for everyone who’s loved and cared for them through that first whirlwind of a year. This personalised first birthday card is a gentle, thoughtful way to mark the day. It features a soft jungle animal design with elephants, lions, giraffes and more, and a heartfelt poem capturing all the small, real moments that make the first year so unforgettable.

From night feeds and early mornings to first giggles and wobbly steps, the poem speaks honestly and lovingly about the ups and downs of babyhood. It's written to feel like a keepsake – something to hold onto, tuck into a memory box, or even frame as a little reminder of how far they’ve come.

Each card is personalised with the child’s name, printed on thick recycled card, and comes with a kraft envelope. Everything is handmade here in the UK, using eco-friendly materials from start to finish.

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our hearts — and this little card is made with that in mind. A small gesture, filled with love.

poem on the front reads:
One year of nappies, bottles and yawns,
Of cuddly toys and early dawns.
One year of claps and shaky stands,
Of grabbing hold of our hands.
One year of nappies by the heap,
Of rocking you back off to sleep.
Of peekaboo and hide-and-seek,
Of hugging closely, cheek to cheek.
One year of babbles, beeps and squeals,
Of crawling round on hands and heels.
One year of milestones big and small,
Of first time stands and wobbly falls.
Of teething pain and sleepy eyes,
Of midnight tears and morning skies.
One year of being by your side,
Of feeling joy we cannot hide.
One year of love, both fierce and true,
Of being shaped by raising you,
Of watching you with awe each day,
And loving you in every way.
