Newborn gifts

The birth of a new baby is truly a special moment. When you visit the proud parents
and meet their little one for the first time, you want to bring a thoughtful gift, something personal, meaningful and memorable. Many newborn gifts are sweet but temporary, yet a birth tile creates lasting memories that stay with the family for years. Placed in the nursery, it becomes a perfect gift. By choosing a design from our collection and letting us bake the baby’s name and date onto the tile, you create a unique keepsake. A tile is a timeless gesture: a lasting memory of the moment their story began.

A traditional birth gift with a modern twist

Would you like to create your own personalised tile as a baby gift?  At StoryTiles, you’ll discover a wide range of designs, from traditional Delft Blue tiles to colourful modern illustrations. Some show nostalgic scenes of Miffy, while others celebrate playful childhood moments. Whether you’re choosing a tile for your own little one or selecting adorable presents for friends who have just welcomed a baby: you can explore designs featuring Noah’s Ark, a little boy on the moon, a girl with a bunch of balloons, or a cradle surrounded by flowers. Simply add the birth details, and we will personalise and wrap your tile beautifully, a special present with a thoughtful touch.

What makes a birth tile so special?

A personalised birth tile is a unique way to celebrate life’s milestones. It can be hung using the hanging hook at the back or place it in a frame. Our accessory collection
also contains wall shelfs and holders. Unlike toys or clothing that are used
for a few months and then outgrown, a tile becomes a permanent part of childhood memories. It is designed to be kept and loved. Just like a birth announcement card, it marks the beginning of a new chapter, a decorative keepsake that grows along with the baby.

What to know before creating your birth tile

If you’re designing a tile for your own baby or choosing baby gifts for friends or
family, here are a few things to keep in mind. All tiles come in two sizes: Small (10 × 10 cm) and Medium (13 × 13 cm). StoryTiles are handcrafted ceramic products, designed and made in the Netherlands with great care. Depending on the choice you make from our collection, your tile may feature hand-drawn artwork, painted illustrations or expressive collage pieces. Each tile is designed to be a thoughtful and lasting gift, a decorative item that adds charm and colour to the nursery.

Modern birth tile design

For new parents and their little ones, a personalised baby gift is much appreciated. When selecting the tile, you can choose a design that suits the nursery’s colours, theme and atmosphere. Once personalised with the baby’s name and date of birth, the tile becomes a symbolic keepsake. We ship worldwide, making it easy to send a personalised gift even if you cannot be there in person. The recipient receives your tile beautifully wrapped, completed with your personal message, a thoughtful gesture from across the world.

Delft Blue birth tile

StoryTiles originally began creating classic Delft Blue tiles featuring the traditional stork carrying a baby in a sling. These designs still hold a special place in our
range, now refreshed with new artwork to fit modern interiors while preserving
their traditional charm. Over the time we have added many more contemporary
designs, making it easy to find something that suits every style and taste.
When selecting a personalised tile, you just provide us the baby’s name and the birth so we can bake it on the tile. 

New baby gifts with a personal touch

By personalising a tile, you create a unique and thoughtful keepsake for the
parents, a gift that will always hold a special place in their hearts. As the
child grows, they may take the tile with them to their own home! In addition to
birth tiles, StoryTiles also offers designs for various meaningful occasions: wedding tiles, house numbers, sympathy tiles, and custom pieces where you can add your own text. These are items made to celebrate life’s meaningful moments.
