About this product

Why this wooden number feels special
  • 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.
White-washed Albesia wood

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.

How to display and use it

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.

Carved in Indonesia

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.

Size and details

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.

Common questions

Can I use it with a real candle?
Yes, it is designed with space for a small night-light candle. Use it on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep it supervised while lit.
Can it go directly on a cake?
It is better placed beside the cake or used as part of the table display.
