Personalised birthday gifts: everything starts from one date
When you do not know what to give for a birthday, you do know one thing: the date. That is enough. The star sign follows from it without asking anyone, and is engraved as a discreet glyph on a wooden bead. The date itself is engraved on a second line below two initials, and it is read again every year. When you know the person better, the rest comes on its own: the two figures of the French department they never stop talking about, or the surfers’ shaka with their initials engraved on the back, against the wrist. The four bracelets are the same price, €23.90, and are engraved to order in our workshop: order ten days ahead for Ireland, a week within France.

Star Sign Bracelet – Engraved Wood, Birthday Gift
The gift that chooses itself: you know the date, the sign follows. Only the glyph is engraved, without the name written out — readable by those who know the symbols, silent to everyone else.

Which one to choose
| If you know… | Then |
|---|---|
| Only their date of birth | The star sign bracelet |

What you need, and when to order
| Occasion | When | When to order |
|---|---|---|
| The date of birth | essential | Enough on its own for the sign and the engraved date |
| Their initials | two letters | The date goes beneath them on the initials and date bracelet |
| A milestone birthday | their date | Ten days ahead |
| A child’s birthday | their date | Two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm |
| With no warning | any time | 48 h in the workshop |
Watch the cut-off dates between signs: born on 22 December, you are a Capricorn and not a Sagittarius.
Frequently asked questions
What is an original birthday gift when all you know is the date?
The date is enough for two of our bracelets: the star sign, which follows from the day of birth, and the initials and date bracelet, which engraves the day as it is under two letters. The first asks for nothing else; the second asks for the initials, which you always know. Both are €23.90, engraved to order.
How far ahead of the birthday should I order?
Ten days ahead is plenty for Ireland: 48 hours to engrave it after you order, then the parcel comes up from the south of France and crosses a border, which adds two days. Within France, a week. Each bracelet’s page shows the expected dispatch day while you are choosing.
Which sign matches which date of birth?
Aries from 21 March to 19 April, Taurus 20 April to 20 May, Gemini 21 May to 20 June, Cancer 21 June to 22 July, Leo 23 July to 22 August, Virgo 23 August to 22 September, Libra 23 September to 22 October, Scorpio 23 October to 21 November, Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December, Capricorn 22 December to 19 January, Aquarius 20 January to 18 February, Pisces 19 February to 20 March.
Is there a birthday gift for a child?
The star sign bracelet comes in two children’s sizes: J1 for 11 to 13 cm around the wrist, J2 for 14 to 16 cm. The shaka bracelet appeals to teenagers: its sign reads as a friendly gesture rather than as jewellery.
