When it comes to name tags for children rooms the choice is vast. I came across Cissy Cook Designs while I was looking around for an original name tag for my friend’s little girl and I fell in love with these arty name boxes. UK artist Cissy Cook creates the most original personalised name boxes that not only make the perfect special present but they add a touch of art to kids’ rooms.  The boxes are made using vintage images of cars, spitfires, flowers name-box-rubyand butterflies and every piece of artwork – including the name – are individually hand-cut and positioned in the box at different levels to give a 3D effect. They are completely bespoke so you can choose the theme, colours and style.

Looking at her work, butterflies seem to be her favourite shape and some of her best creations have butterflies as a main theme. My favourites are the music butterfly box, the frogs on red background and the sparkly ruby slippers.
