1st Birthday New Zealand Rimu Key with Paua Inlay – 21PP-01
Make a child’s very first birthday even more memorable with this beautifully designed Personalised 1st Birthday Rimu Key, proudly made in New Zealand.
A first birthday is an important family milestone, marking an incredible first year filled with precious memories. This presentation key has been designed not only as a beautiful birthday gift, but also as a lasting keepsake that parents and family can treasure for many years to come.
Crafted from recycled native New Zealand Rimu veneerboard combined with Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF), the key features a warm timber appearance that beautifully complements the decorative photo surround and vibrant Paua inlay.
At approximately 52cm long x 21cm high, the key has an impressive presence while still being suitable for wall display after the birthday celebration.
Decorative Round Photo Frame
The large circular section on the far-left side of the key features a prominent round photo space measuring approximately 11.5cm in diameter.
This provides an ideal place for a favourite photograph of the birthday child, such as a first birthday portrait, newborn photograph or another special image from their first year.
Surrounding the photo area is an attractive contrasting timber-look decorative frame incorporating Māori-inspired koru and geometric design elements.
The lighter decorative detailing contrasts beautifully against the warm Rimu finish and creates an eye-catching frame around the child’s photograph.
Paua Inlay “1st”
Positioned prominently towards the far-right end of the key is the milestone “1st” design featuring colourful Paua shell inlay.
The beautiful blue, turquoise, green and iridescent tones of Paua provide a striking contrast against the warm timber background.
The Paua “1st” immediately identifies the special milestone while adding a distinctly New Zealand-inspired character to the overall design.
Because of the naturally varied appearance associated with Paua shell, the colours and patterns can vary, adding individual character to each key.
Generous Personalised Engraving Area
One of the most important features of the key is the large open section through the centre, deliberately providing plenty of room for personalised laser engraving.
Approximate engraving area: 30cm long x 4.5cm high
This space can be personalised with the child’s:
-
Name
-
Date of birth
-
First birthday date
-
Special birthday message
-
Family dedication
-
Congratulations message
-
Or other personalised wording
The generous engraving space allows the personalisation to become an important part of the design without making the key appear overcrowded.
Create a Lasting Record of Their First Birthday
The back of the key provides an opportunity to make this keepsake even more meaningful.
An ultra-fine Sharpie pen is included, allowing parents, grandparents, relatives and friends to write personal messages, birthday wishes and memories directly onto the back of the key.
Guests attending the first birthday celebration can each leave a message for the child.
As the child grows older, these handwritten messages can become an especially meaningful reminder of the family and friends who celebrated this important milestone with them.
Rather than being simply a birthday decoration, the key can become a personal family keepsake filled with memories from the child’s first birthday.
Gold-Finish Hanging Chain
The key is supplied with a gold-finish chain for wall mounting.
The warm gold appearance complements the natural Rimu timber tones and allows the completed key to be proudly displayed in the child’s bedroom, nursery, family room or another special place in the home.
Once the birthday celebration is over, the photograph, personalised engraving and handwritten messages transform the key into a permanent display piece commemorating the child’s first year.
Important Product Note
As Rimu veneer and Paua shell-style inlay have naturally varying grain, colour and pattern characteristics, individual keys may vary slightly in appearance, helping give each finished piece its own character.
