Why this board

Everything theirs. Down to the letter.

Standard boards swap a new name into the same old layout. Ours is built around your child — shape, theme, name and all.

🔠

Cut as their letter

The whole board is shaped like your child's initial — E for Emma, L for Liam. The only letter-shaped milestone board you'll find.

Others: one generic shape, only the name swaps

🛡️

Built like a keepsake, safe like a toy

5mm solid wood board, 3D wood name, smooth hand-sanded edges — finished with child-friendly, non-toxic paint.

Others: thin acrylic or cardboard

🎨

Designed for them — approved by you

A real designer illustrates their theme around their name, then sends you a free proof within 24h. Unlimited revisions — we craft only after you approve.

Others: ships as-is, fingers crossed

What's in the box

The complete board — ready for year one to year twelve

Questions, answered

Before you ask

When will it arrive?

Your free design proof arrives within 24 hours. After you approve it, crafting + delivery takes 15–20 days with full tracking. Ordering in July = relaxed. Late August = message us first.

What if I don't like the design?

You get a free design proof within 24 hours — and we revise as many times as you want. We never start cutting until you approve. If we can't make you happy at the proof stage, full refund.

Which size should I pick?

M — 13.8" (35cm) is most popular: big enough to read every detail in photos, light enough for small hands. L/XL for shelf or wall decor, S for toddlers.

Can we reuse it next year?

Yes — that's the point! The white acrylic spaces are write & wipe (2 dry-erase markers included), and you get BOTH "First Day of" and "Last Day of" magnetic tags. The letter shape, theme and 3D wood name stay theirs forever — only the milestones update each year.

Is it safe for little hands?

Yes — 5mm solid wood, smooth hand-sanded edges, child-friendly non-toxic paint, no glass, no sharp corners.

One morning. One photo.
One board they'll find in a box someday and smile.
