Description
This little water globe ornament welcomes a baby boy with a white teddy bear sitting beside a pale grey crescent moon, with a gold star at the moon's tip. The bear holds a soft blue heart, and the round base below the globe is a soft dusty blue. It carries the words "welcome little boy" in pale cream script over a tiny silver star. Give it a gentle shake and silver stars swirl around the bear before settling again. It is made from resin with a glazed finish and stands 10cm tall and 8cm across, small enough for a shelf or a bedside table.
It is made to mark a birth, and we think it makes a thoughtful gift for new parents welcoming a son. In the nursery it sits on a shelf, a chest of drawers or a windowsill, and its soft blue, white and grey tones suit calm, pastel schemes. Because it is so compact, it fits easily among books, frames and other keepsakes. It is the kind of piece that stays on show long after the early weeks, a quiet reminder of the day he arrived. It is a keepsake rather than a plaything, so it is best placed up high, where grown-ups can give it a shake and watch the stars fall.
The bear, moon and star are resin with a glazed finish, which gives them a smooth, soft sheen, and the gold star catches the light against the pale moon. The round base sits flat, so the globe stands on its own on any level surface and needs no wall or hook. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe the base with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Wrapped with a card for the baby's arrival, it makes a gift the family can keep in his room as he grows.
