First Christmas decoration

I know some will think it's a waste of money but I would really like a 'babies first Christmas' decoration of some sort to go on our tree. Lots of our decorations are sentimental and I would like this one to add. Ideally with the year on it.
I thought I would be able to find one easily having seen them in previous years but all the garden centres, supermarkets I have looked in don't have any.
I'm sure I can find one online but as I can't see the quality etc I would prefer a recommendation before I do that.
So has anyone seen any in an actual shop? Or failing that does anyone have any online recommendations for a good quality one?

Lots in garden centres near us. I think The Range had some in too.

I tried 3 or 4 local garden centres and none but maybe I was too early. Thanks will try the range

Etsy
Sometimes in the reviews, people have put photographs of the item

Have you got a pottery painting place nearby? We made decorations of the kids handprints on a ceramic bauble for their first Christmas. I love them although I am paranoid every year about breaking them 😂

Yes I realise there will be lots on there but photos aren't the same as seeing an item in real life and I have had some very mixed experiences on Etsy. Hence why I'm asking for personal recommendations

That's a good idea. We made a door plaque with her hand prints when she was tiny.
Will have to wait till she doesn't have hand, foot and mouth though!
If I can't find anything I will see if anywhere has space

I’d definitely recommend going to a pottery painting place locally.

For something without prints, I’d recommend Not On The High Street. I bought these for my DS and DNephew last year and they are nice (possibly not to everyone’s taste but we liked them and they felt like quality - nice enough that I’ve just bought one for DNephew2).

They have a lovely range of first tree decorations that can be personalised and I’ve just gambled on a wooden one half the price of these for a friend’s baby, though can’t vouch for the quality yet.

I love that one. That's exactly what I wanted.
Thank you
