Number 8, 15cm Assorted Colours

• The number eight gives instant meaning to a birthday, anniversary, house number display or milestone year.
• MDF wood brings a firmer, more grounded feel than paper decorations or balloons.
• The distressed-edged finish softens the colour, giving it a gently worn, vintage-inspired look.
• Use it on a mantelpiece, party table, nursery shelf or photo backdrop, propped safely against a stable surface.
• Mix it with other letters or numbers to spell a name, age, team number or short message.

It is made from MDF wood with an assorted coloured finish, so each piece may vary in tone. The edges are finished with a distressed effect, adding texture and a sense of character rather than a flat, factory-clean look.

The piece is hand-crafted in Indonesia, giving it the slightly individual quality that suits relaxed, personal decorating.

Place it on a dry, stable surface where it can be seen easily, such as a shelf, sideboard or celebration table. Pair it with fabric bunting, dried flowers or other wooden letters for a softer, slower alternative to disposable party décor.

Keep it away from damp areas and wipe gently with a dry cloth. Do not place it directly on food, as no food-safe finish is specified.

Numbers often become emotional markers in the home: an age, a date, a door, a year worth remembering. The number eight is especially recognisable, with its balanced double-loop form and sense of continuity. In some cultures it is also associated with good fortune, though here its strength is simple and personal: a visible sign of a milestone, chosen for a room, a party or a photograph that will be looked back on later.

This is one number eight, measuring 15 cm high and weighing 52 g. It is made from MDF wood in assorted colours, with a distressed-edged finish.

It makes a considered gift for an eighth birthday, an anniversary, a new home display or anyone building a personal wall, shelf or celebration setup with wooden letters and numbers.
