When it comes to birthdays, it’s easy to default to gift cards or last-minute toys - but the most memorable gifts are the ones that last and that have meaning. Whether you're shopping for a baby's first birthday, a milestone celebration, or a meaningful gift for a loved one, a personalised keepsake is a beautiful way to say, "you are cherished."

At Maple and Belle, we believe gifts should be more than just pretty - they should tell a story.

Here are our favourite thoughtful birthday gift ideas that are made to be kept, not just opened and forgotten.

Personalised Name Plaques

Our laser cut name plaques are a bestseller for a reason. Customised with the birthday girl or boy’s name and available with dried floral details, they’re perfect for:

• Nursery walls or kids rooms (espcially door signs)

• Shelf styling or even party displays

• A gift that doubles as decor and a keepsake!

Whether you're celebrating a first birthday or adding something special to a child's growing space, these plaques grow with them beautifully.
