The name, birth date, time, and weight — painted into real ceramic. Toys disappear, clothes shrink — a birth tile stays.
Free to design — only pay when you're happy.
The baby's details — not a sticker, not a print: painted in.
Type the name, birth date, time, and weight. Our AI processes that text into the tile in the same style as the artwork. With Delft Blue, your words are painted in cobalt brushstrokes inside an elegant cartouche — as if a Delft master painter made it just for you.

Why a birth tile?
Three reasons Dutch families have been picking birth tiles for generations — and why this gift outlasts the rest.
A Dutch tradition
Birth tiles belong to Dutch culture like beschuit-met-muisjes. A Delft Blue birth tile is that heritage at its finest — recognisable for every generation, beloved by grandparents.
More personal than a stuffed animal
Name, date, time, place, weight — all painted in. No other baby gets the same tile. In 30 years, the child unwraps it from the box and instantly knows: this is mine.
Stays, while everything else changes
Real ceramic, fired at 1080°C. Doesn't fade, doesn't break under normal use, doesn't go out of style. The nursery becomes a kids' room, a teenager's room, their own home — the tile moves along.

How it works — in 4 steps
- Step 01
Upload a photo (optional)
An ultrasound, a first-moment shot, or a maternity-package photo. No photo? Skip this step — text-only is also beautiful.
- Step 02
Type the birth details
Name, date, time, weight, length — whatever you want. Our AI fits it into the tile in the same style as the surrounding artwork.
- Step 03
Choose style and size
Delft Blue or full colour. 15x15 cm or 20x20 cm XL. See your preview live in the editor.
- Step 04
Order — we do the rest
We fire your tile within 24-48 hours. Shipped in a clean box without invoice — perfect as a baby gift.
Two sizes — both real ceramic
Combine with a wooden tile holder for the dresser, or an invisible hook for the wall above the cot.
For which moment?
Maternity-visit gift.
The classic moment: visiting the newborn. Give it wrapped, or place it directly in the nursery — parents are always moved by it.
Gift from grandparents.
Grandparents want to give something that lasts. A Delft Blue birth tile with the grandchild's name — indestructibly beautiful.
Christening / baby blessing.
A tile with the christening date added, or as a set with a small cross. A treasured gift from godparents.
First birthday.
A tile with "1 year" and the favourite photo of the past year — a new tradition alongside the birth tile.
For the nursery.
On the wall above the cot or framed on the changing-table dresser. The tile grows with the child.
Twin gift.
Two tiles as a set, one for each baby. Or both names on one 20x20 XL tile — popular as a joint birth board.
The most personal birth tile as a baby gift
A birth tile as a baby gift is the most personal way to celebrate a newborn. We paint the name, birth date, time, and weight into cobalt brushstrokes — an elegant hand-painted cartouche, in the same style as the traditional Delft Blue around it. Toys disappear and clothes shrink, but this ceramic birth tile is still on the dresser twenty years later.
Whether you're looking for an original baby gift, a personalised birth present from grandma and grandpa, a lasting christening gift from godparents, or a twin tile with both babies' names — a birth tile with name and birth date fits every moment. Many customers pick the 20x20 cm XL size so the photo, name, date, time, and birth weight all fit comfortably.
Our tiles are real ceramic, fired at 1080°C like a traditional Delft tile. Order before 17:00 and your birth tile ships the same business day — perfect as a maternity-visit gift or part of a baby package with traditional Dutch beschuit-met-muisjes. Free to design, pay only when the preview is perfect. A personal baby gift that lasts a lifetime.
What customers say
5 out of 5 starsEcht een oer-Hollands cadeau
Een Delfts blauw tegeltje met een foto van het huis waar mijn ouders 50 jaar hebben gewoond, gegeven bij hun gouden bruiloft. De combinatie van de typisch Nederlandse stijl met hun persoonlijke verhaal maakte het cadeau heel speciaal. Iedereen wilde het zien.
5 out of 5 starsSouvenir voor Australische vriend
Mijn beste vriend is naar Australië verhuisd. Een Delfts blauw tegeltje met onze gezamenlijke foto opgestuurd als verrassing. Hij belde meteen op om te zeggen hoe geraakt hij was. Precies dat stukje Holland in zijn nieuwe huis.
5 out of 5 starsWerkt op alle foto's super
Heb 3 verschillende foto's geprobeerd: portret, landschap en groepsfoto. Bij alle drie kwam het Delfts blauw effect prachtig uit. Het keramiek voelt premium aan en de tegelhouder erbij maakt het af. Aanrader!
4 out of 5 starsMooi tegeltje, donkerblauw was wel echt donker
Op zich een mooi resultaat, alleen werd mijn foto wel echt donker omdat de Delfts blauw stijl met diepe blauwtinten werkt. Een lichtere foto met meer contrast werkt waarschijnlijk beter. Volgende keer beter geprobeerd.
Frequently asked questions about the birth tile
You can fill in up to 4 lines inside one elegant cartouche — typically name, birth date, time, and weight (the standard birth-announcement set). Birthplace or length also work; just pick the 4 lines that matter most. Our AI paints all those lines in the same Delft Blue style as the tile, stacked in cobalt brushstrokes. Max ~40 characters per line.
Then you simply wait until after the birth — our production takes 24-48 hours, so even as a maternity-visit gift you have plenty of time. Or buy a gift card and give that to the parents so they can design the tile with the right details themselves.
Not at all. A tile with just the name and birth date in an elegant frame is also beautiful — perfect when the baby isn't born yet, or for a minimalist look. With a photo, you can keep it in full colour or have it transformed into Delft Blue style.
Yes — two ways. Both names + details on one tile (looks better in the 20x20 XL size — more space). Or order two separate tiles as a set, one for each baby. Many parents prefer the "set of two" because each child has their own tile.
The tile is neatly packed in a sturdy box without invoice — perfect to add to a maternity gift basket or with a bouquet. Pair it with a stuffed animal, baby bib, or beschuit-met-muisjes for a complete gift.
Yes. With Delft Blue, our AI repaints the photo and text in cobalt brushstrokes — a traditional hand-painted Delft effect. With full colour, you print a regular photo razor-sharp on real ceramic. Many parents pick full colour for the nursery and Delft Blue as a gift for grandparents.
15x15 cm is the classic birth-tile size — fits any windowsill or dresser. 20x20 cm XL is better if you want a photo + name + date + time + weight — more room for detail. Both are real ceramic, fired like a traditional Dutch tile.
Wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For fingerprints or dust: a slightly damp cloth, then dry it immediately. No cleaning agents — ceramic is naturally low-maintenance. The tile won't fade or discolour, even in indirect sunlight.
Many customers give a tile to the grandparents. Order two in the same style — one for the parents and one for the grandparents. Or add the godparents' names as a subtitle. For christenings it's a wonderful gift from godparents too.
We produce within 24-48 hours and ship immediately after. Order before 17:00 and it usually ships the same day. In the Netherlands and Belgium it then takes 1-2 working days. Secure payment with iDEAL, Bancontact, credit card, Apple Pay, or Klarna.
