Personalised Christmas Bauble – Luxury Self Portrait Bauble | Custom Holiday Keepsake
Personalised Christmas Bauble – Luxury Self Portrait Bauble
Gift a personalised Christmas bauble that reproduces a child’s drawing with crisp engraved lines and a warm timber edge — a tactile keepsake made to sit lightly on the tree and last for years. Designed for parents, grandparents and teachers, this luxury self portrait bauble is handcrafted in the UK and available in frosted acrylic or natural wood to suit modern and rustic trees alike.
Each ornament is laser-cut and precision engraved to retain the character of the original artwork. Choose the high-contrast engraved acrylic bauble for gallery-like clarity, or opt for the wooden Christmas ornament for a softer, textured finish that preserves natural grain and warmth. Both options are single-sided and sold individually, making them ideal as personalised stocking fillers, classroom mementos or unique luxury Christmas gifts.

Why customers choose this keepsake This personalised bauble preserves the unique linework and brushstrokes of a child’s drawing without competing colours or varnish. The frosted acrylic option gives striking contrast that highlights pen and crayon marks, while the wooden bauble delivers a classic, tactile feel that ages gently when stored carefully. Both finishes are lightweight on branches and come ready with a hanging ribbon.

Common questions
What file do I need to upload?

Will I receive a proof before production?

Can I include a name or year on the bauble?
Yes. Add short custom text in the personalisation field; it will be engraved beneath the portrait.
