Wooden Number 3, Birthday

• The pale white-washed finish sits gently with party colours, flowers, bunting and natural table styling.
• Wood brings warmth to a celebration, with grain and small variations that feel more personal than plastic décor.
• The number becomes a simple focal point for birthday photos, shelves, mantelpieces or a celebration table.
• A space at the top is made for a small night-light candle, so it can be used as a birthday candle holder.
• After the day itself, it can stay out as a keepsake from a third birthday rather than being packed away and forgotten.

It is hand carved from Albesia wood, then whitewashed for a soft, lightly weathered look. The finish keeps the mood calm and natural, making it easy to pair with dried flowers, linen, paper decorations or a simple cake table.

Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface before adding a night-light candle. Keep the flame away from fabric, flowers and loose decorations, and never leave a lit candle unattended.

For a food display, set the number beside the cake or on a separate stand rather than directly on icing or frosting.

This piece is made in Indonesia, where Albesia wood is often chosen for decorative objects because it is light in the hand. The carved number has the pleasing clarity of old wooden type, bold enough to read in a room but soft enough for a child’s birthday setting. It is a small shift towards celebration décor with a longer life, something that marks the day without feeling disposable.

This listing is for the number 3 from the Wooden Birthday Numbers range. It is made from white-washed Albesia wood and weighs 136 g.

A lovely choice for a third birthday, especially for parents who prefer natural materials and simple celebration pieces. It also suits a memory shelf, nursery display or birthday photo corner after the candles have been blown out.
