My 1st Birthday Bear and Star Wooden Trinket Box - White

This little wooden trinket box marks a first birthday with a sweet scene on its lid: a white bear sits cradling a silver star, with a grey number one standing tall behind it. The bear's ears, nose and paw pads are picked out in soft grey, and a raised silver star sits on the front of the round base. The box itself is a clean, soft white that sits easily alongside pale greys, creams and natural wood. It stands 8cm tall and measures 7cm across, a small, neat size for a shelf, a chest of drawers or a bedside table.

We see it as a keepsake for a baby or toddler's room, kept by the grown-ups as a home for the small things worth saving from that first year: a curl from a first haircut, a hospital bracelet, a first tooth or a tiny piece of jewellery. Because the colours are soft white and grey rather than pink or blue, it suits any little one up to three years old, and it makes a thoughtful gift for parents marking their child's first birthday. It is a piece to be admired on a shelf rather than a plaything, so we would place it somewhere it can be seen but kept out of reach of small hands.

The box is made of wood with a white finish, and its lid, topped by the bear and the number one, lifts off to open the round base. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs a little more, wipe the outside with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. For gifting, tuck a handwritten note with the birthday date inside before you wrap it, so the box arrives with its first memento already in place. Once it is home, it looks lovely beside a framed first-year photograph on a nursery shelf.
