With its gently curved lid, traditional brass clasp and delicate botanical illustration featuring a sweet little robin amongst seasonal foliage, it has a wonderfully timeless feel that suits children and grown-ups alike.
You could bring the chest out every Christmas Eve and turn opening it into a family tradition. There’s something rather magical about a familiar wooden chest appearing each December, particularly when a child sees their own name on the lid and knows there will be something new waiting inside. As they grow older, the contents can change with them while the chest itself remains the same.

Personalise your loved one’s premium quality chest with their name to create a thoughtful Christmas gift that feels genuinely made for its recipient and, once the presents inside have been enjoyed, remains as a lovely keepsake to use for many Christmases to come.
The star of the design is a charming little robin perched proudly on a branch above the personalised name. Beautifully illustrated with fine feather details, a rounded little body and a sweet pointed beak, the bird has a traditional hand-drawn quality that gives the chest the feel of an old-fashioned Christmas illustration. Robins have such a familiar connection with the festive season, from snowy winter gardens to traditional Christmas cards, so this little feathered character immediately gives the design plenty of seasonal charm.
Surrounding the robin is a gorgeous arrangement of winter botanicals. Delicate sprigs sweep out across the lid, combining holly leaves, berries, evergreen foliage and fine leafy stems. There are long pine-like fronds, clusters of rounded berries and traditional pointed holly leaves, all intertwined to create a festive arrangement around the robin and personalisation.
One year it might be filled with storybooks, sweets and festive pyjamas; a few years later it could contain games, favourite snacks and little gifts; eventually it might be filled with much more grown-up Christmas treats. That makes the chest a lovely keepsake for children because it doesn’t have to be something they grow out of after a couple of festive seasons.
