The Ideal Gift for New Parents: Custom Name Posters
There’s something truly special about giving a gift that feels personal - one that celebrates a new life and becomes a keepsake for years to come. A personalised name poster is exactly that: a piece of art created uniquely for a child, filled with meaning, beauty, and love.
Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift for new parents, a christening present, or a first birthday gift, a personalised name print offers a timeless way to mark those precious early milestones.
A Meaningful Gift for New Parents
Welcoming a new baby into the world is a moment of pure joy - and the start of a story that deserves to be celebrated. While parents often receive many practical items, a custom name poster stands out as a heartfelt gesture that will be cherished for years.
Each poster transforms the baby’s name, birth details, and even their zodiac sign into a beautiful piece of art. Hanging it in the nursery makes the space feel instantly warm, personal, and full of love. It’s a gentle daily reminder of how special their little one is.
A Thoughtful Christening or Birthday Present
Finding a unique christening gift or first birthday present can be tricky - you want something meaningful, not just another toy or outfit that will be quickly outgrown. A personalised name poster is a lasting keepsake that captures the magic of early childhood.
It’s a gift that grows with the child, looking just as lovely in a toddler’s bedroom as it does in a baby’s nursery. Many parents frame it as part of a small gallery wall or display it above the changing table as a focal point that ties the room together.
The Creative Process – From Brush Stroke to Print
Every design begins with an idea, a sketch, and the gentle flow of watercolours on paper. From the first pencil outline to the final brushstrokes, each illustration is hand-painted by artist Maja Kjær. The process combines artistry with emotion - inspired by childhood wonder, nature, and storytelling.
Once the painting is complete, it’s carefully digitised and printed in collaboration with a fine art print studio in Aveiro, Portugal, chosen for its meticulous attention to detail and consistency.
Each piece is produced as a giclée print, a fine art printing technique that uses pigment-based inks for exceptional colour accuracy and long-lasting vibrancy. The inks are fade-resistant, ensuring that your print will remain beautiful for many years.
Printed on 270 gsm acid-free fine art paper with a smooth texture and subtle grain reminiscent of the original watercolour paper, the result is a gallery-quality finish that honours the original painting.
When you purchase a print from Maja Kjær Studio, you get much more than a poster - you receive a carefully crafted piece of art made to be treasured.
How to Personalise Your Poster
Each name print is made to order, allowing you to include personal details such as:
- The child’s name
- Date of birth
- Weight and length
These elements are beautifully integrated into the artwork, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that tells the child’s unique story.
If you have any special wishes for additional text on the poster - such as the time or place of birth - simply let me know, and I can customise it for you.
Every print is individually prepared before production, so your artwork will be perfectly tailored to your request.
Whether you prefer soft woodland animals, dreamy ocean themes, or celestial zodiac motifs, there’s a design to suit every personality and nursery style.
Style and Symbolism
The collection blends Scandinavian simplicity with gentle storytelling. You’ll find forest animals surrounded by wildflowers, magical unicorns, and zodiac-inspired wreaths that celebrate each sign’s symbolism.
Every design aims to spark imagination and bring a sense of calm and connection to nature - values that resonate with both parents and children alike.
This is a growing collection and a continuous work in progress, as I keep creating new designs inspired by the seasons, nature, and the stories shared by my customers.
So if you don’t find your favourite theme or zodiac sign yet, it’s very likely already on my sketchbook table.

How to Display Your Print
Your name poster looks beautiful on its own or paired with other prints from the nursery collection.
Frame it in light oak, natural wood, or white for a timeless look, or place it on a picture ledge alongside family photos and keepsakes.
These prints make lovely statement pieces above the cot, in a reading corner, or even in a hallway gallery wall dedicated to your child’s milestones.
