For the hardest season

The first Christmas without them.

There is no version of this season that makes their absence smaller. But there is something steadying about seeing their name hanging on the tree, in your own handwriting of sorts — proof that they are still part of the family Christmas.

The empty chair

Grief has a way of waiting until December. The songs, the same ornaments coming out of the same box, the place at the table that nobody wants to be the one to move — it all arrives at once.

Families tell us the hardest part isn't the day itself. It's the worry that as the years pass, they'll be mentioned less and less, until one Christmas nobody says their name at all.

That's the whole reason we make these. Not to fix anything — nothing fixes it — but so there's something to unwrap each year that says plainly: they were here, and we still carry them.

If you're buying this for someone who's grieving

A lot of these go out to friends and family of the person who lost someone — and it's often the gift they remember years later. You don't need to find the right words to go with it. Their name, spelled correctly, is the message. Our guide to choosing a gift for someone grieving can help.

“This made a thoughtful gift for a grieving friend. She loved it.”

Ordering in time

Getting it there before the day

We post exact holiday order-by dates here in November, once our printers confirm their December schedules. We'd rather tell you late than tell you wrong.

One exception, and it holds every year: the dedicated star is delivered by email the moment you order. There's no deadline on it at all — it works on Christmas morning.

Decals include a free design proof emailed within 24 hours, and revisions are always free — so if a date or a spelling needs changing, there's time to fix it.

Our promise

If we make a mistake, we remake it free. No questions, no time limit.
