Custom Canadian Name Signs – Free North American Shipping

Decorating your baby's nursery is one of the most exciting parts of preparing for a new arrival. Whether you're dreaming of soft neutrals, bold boho vibes, or something totally unique, one thing makes a nursery feel extra special—a custom name sign.

If you’ve been searching for the perfect name sign that’s beautiful, long-lasting, and made in North America, you’re in the right place. At Timberwood Designs, we create high-quality, handcrafted wooden name signs and ship them for free across Canada and the USA.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what to look for in a custom baby name sign, why wooden signs are such a popular choice, and how to order a one-of-a-kind piece from our shop.

Why Custom Name Signs Are a Nursery Must-Have

A name sign is more than just decor—it’s a personal touch that makes your baby’s room feel truly theirs. It’s often the first thing people notice when they walk into the nursery, and it’s a special way to celebrate your baby’s name, story, and identity.

Here’s why so many parents choose a custom sign:

• Personalization: Tailor it to your baby’s name, middle name, or nickname.

• Timeless style: Unlike trendy wall decals or printed art, wooden name signs add a classic, natural look that works in any design.

• Keepsake quality: A custom sign becomes a keepsake you can pass down or use as decor long after the baby years, toddler and big kid spaces.

• Photo-ready: Perfect for newborn photo shoots, monthly milestone pics, and first birthday parties.

Why Choose a Wooden Baby Name Sign?

Not all name signs are created equal. At Timberwood Designs, we only use solid hardwood—never MDF or plywood—because it safe, lasts longer, looks better, and feels more meaningful. Wooden signs offer a warmth and texture that printed or plastic options just can’t match.

Benefits of a Wooden Name Sign:

• Durable and built to last through toddlerhood and beyond

• Each piece has natural grain and character—no two are the same
  

• Adds depth and dimension to the wall (not just a flat decal)

Our signs are handcrafted right here in Ontario, Canada, by our small family team. We take pride in every cut, sand, and finish, knowing that these pieces become part of your family story.

What to Look For When Buying a Baby Name Sign

There are lots of options out there, especially online. Before you order, consider the following:

1. Material

Look for solid wood instead of MDF or acrylic if you're after a truly safe keepsake. Our signs use hardwood like maple, hickory, walnut and cherry for a rich, natural look.

2. Craftsmanship

At Timberwood Designs, we combine CNC precision with hand-finished details to get the best of both worlds.

3. Customization Options

Font and wood type should reflect your style. 

4. Shipping & Turnaround Time

Custom means a little wait—but not forever. We aim for a 3-4 week turnaround time with an option to rush your order that fits your nursery planning. And yes, shipping is FREE across Canada and the USA.

5. Safety

Maple, hickory and cherry signs are left natural. We finish our walnut signs with baby-safe, non-toxic all natural sealant so they’re safe to hang above a crib or use in photo setups.
