Looking for a gift that will actually be kept?
This handmade bobbin lace bookmark is a beautiful keepsake for First Communion, Confirmation, Christening or Baptism, Bar or Bat Mitzvah — or any milestone worth marking with something made to last. Tuck it into a Bible, prayer book, or favourite text as a gift from a godparent, sponsor, grandparent, or family friend.
Worked in soft cotton thread using a Claire Bonito bookmark design and 22 pairs of bobbins, combining various Torchon elements such as spiders, roseground, and ovals, then finished with a delicate tasseled point. It measures approximately 23cm x 3.5cm — a small, precious thing that will still be treasured decades from now.
Unlike a printed or mass-made bookmark, this one is made entirely by hand, on a lace pillow, two pairs of bobbins at a time — a craft with centuries of history behind it.
It arrives in its own handmade keepsake box, made from scratch to match — so the gift feels considered from the moment it's opened, not just once it's unwrapped.
Available in soft white or periwinkle — a gentle, unisex palette that suits any occasion.
