Glitzby Baby Block Ornament Review: Worth the Price?
A small solid wood cube engraved on every side with the baby's name, the year and birth details. The priciest pick here, and the one that holds the most story.
Yes, for new parents or grandparents who love keepsakes. The block is engraved on all six sides, so it holds the name, the year and the birth details [1]. Skip it if you do not know those details yet, because blank sides look unfinished.

Pros and cons
Six sides of a first year
Flat baby ornaments carry one line of text. This cube has six engravable sides, so it can hold the name, the year, the birth date and weight, and a holiday icon [1].
It turns a standard first Christmas ornament into a small record of the baby's arrival.
Because the block has depth, it also stands on a shelf or a nursery dresser after the tree comes down, which a flat ornament cannot do.
Solid wood, engraved by hand
The listing describes solid natural wood, handmade in the USA and engraved for durability [1]. Engraving does not peel or fade like a print, so it should still read clearly when the baby is grown.
A ribbon comes with it for the tree, and a signature gift box is an option at checkout [1].
Natural wood varies in grain and tone from block to block, so each one looks slightly different from the listing photo, which is part of the handmade appeal.
Details, size and price
The block is two inches on each side [1]. That is small on a big tree, so hang it near the front at eye level.
It is also the priciest pick here, and it needs facts you may not know: birth time, weight or full name. Ask the parents quietly before ordering.
For parents and grandparents
Grandparents often order a second one for their own tree, which is a nice way to make it a pair.
From this guide, it pairs with the Holiday Treasures Snowman Family Ornament once the new family is a few years older, or with the Bemaystar Custom Photo Crystal Ornament for a first family photo.
Order early in the season: custom engraving takes time, and new parents will want it on the tree in the first week of December, not the last.
FAQ
What do you write on a baby's first Christmas block ornament?
The listing lets you personalize all six sides with names, dates, birth details or holiday icons [1]. A common layout is name, year, birth date, weight and length, plus one holiday design. Keep each side short so the engraving stays readable on a small cube [1]
