Personalised for new families
Birth plaques, night lights and tiny keepsake boxes, each made to order with your little one’s name and birth date, then wrapped ready to give.
Why Meşgalem
Every piece starts with the details that matter most: their name, their birthday, their birth weight, their first word.
Every order is made one at a time in our İstanbul workshop and checked by hand before it leaves.
Soft wrapping and a handwritten note card, so it’s ready to give the moment it arrives.
Loved by new parents
The pieces families come back for: the first plaque, the first night light, the first little box of memories.
Inspiration
Ideas, stories and heartfelt advice for the months when everything is new.

“I ordered the plaque the week she was born. It sits on her shelf now, and I still read her name on it every morning.”
