Some notes are too precious to keep in a drawer
The sweet spelling. The backwards letters. That one magical phrase they say again and again.
We turn their little love notes and drawings into a bauble you’ll treasure... and bring out every Christmas.
A beautiful way to hold on to how they are right now. ♥︎
A family tradition
Every year I get the kids to draw their Christmas picture to be made into a bauble... it's now a wonderful tradition for us to look back at their creations each year!

Which one’s right for you?
Round Bauble: our biggest print space... perfect for a little drawing or a slightly longer note.
Heart Bauble & Velvet Heart: best for short handwritten messages, 2–3 words like “Love you Nanny xx”.
One side or two? Solid red and solid white baubles, and all our velvet hearts, can be printed on both sides. Frosted and clear baubles are one side only.
How to create yours...
-
1. Create your image
Use a black felt tip on plain white paper. Keep handwritten messages short and sweet, and drawings simple (no snow scenes, sorry!)
-
2. Take a photo
Snap it head on, in good lighting... making sure there are no shadows across your picture.
-
3. Pick your favourites
Choose your bauble style and favourite colours. Upload your photo with your order. Let us work our magic!

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my handwriting
- Write your message using a dark felt tip pen on plain white paper
- Take a photo in good light
- Upload your photo with your order
Baubles have a very small print area and we recommend 2-3 words max for hearts, circles fit slightly more and can also have small/simple drawings. You can make sure your writing will fit by drawing the shape of a heart and arranging your message within it, we will delete the heart when we edit it.
As the print is small its really important to use a felt tip if you can so the lines are thick enough for us to cut out.
If you are using handwriting from a loved one who is no longer with you we would be happy to edit the image as it is unlikely it will have been made with a felt tip- please feel free to send it to us to check if you are unsure if we can use it before you order.
Can I use handwriting from a loved one who's no longer with us?
Yes, of course. Old cards and letters work beautifully, even if they weren't written in felt tip. Send us a photo before you order and we'll check it for you... then we'll turn their words into a keepsake to treasure.
Can I have multiple prints/pictures?
Yes! If you choose a coloured bauble (not frosted), or any of the Luxe Velvet Hearts you can have an image on either side of your Christmas bauble.
Can I make multiple baubles as gifts from one image?
Absolutely yes! If you would like the same colours for all of them just change the quantity in your basket. If you would like different colours you'd add each bauble to your cart one at a time with the colour choices you would like, just re upload the image with each bauble.
Christmas Ordering & Delivery 💌
Every Olive & Pip keepsake is lovingly made by hand, especially for you.
Baubles are made in small batches, so they’re only available for a short time. Pop your email in and we’ll let you know the moment the next drop opens... they do go quickly!
Velvet hearts can be ordered any time. Our current turnaround times are in the pink banner at the top of the site. As a small business we can only make so many before Christmas, so our order books usually close in early December... order early to avoid missing out.
