My First Rocking Horse
The first ride of a whole life
Some keepsakes fit in the palm of your hand and still hold a whole day. My First Rocking Horse is one of them: a teddy bear modelled in soy wax, climbing onto its rocking horse, ready to accompany one of the first big days in a child’s life. A small, tender and serene piece, made for a christening and to stay afterwards on a shelf, beside the first photo, as a quiet witness to a date the family won’t want to let slip away.
The rocking horse is one of those symbols that cross generations. It evokes gentle childhood, quiet play, that first urge to discover the world. With the bear perched on its back, the scene tells a tiny story: that of a little one setting off well accompanied. It is that blend of sweetness and calm that turns this candle into a detail that moves you without saying a word.
How each Rocking Horse is made
Each rocking horse is made by hand, one at a time. We start with soy wax, melted with care and poured into the mould that shapes the bear, the horse and the base. The wick is set, the wax rests for as long as it needs to settle and solidify, and only then do we unmould the piece by hand, patiently, so every detail — the mane, the ears, the ribbon — stays crisp.
Then each piece is finished individually: we check the surface, tidy the small details and make sure everything has that soft, matte finish our candles are known for. No two are exactly alike, and that is precisely the charm of something handmade.
A little piece of Mallorca
My First Rocking Horse is born in Mallorca, and that origin is no small detail. We work from the island, unhurried, at the calm pace that comes from living surrounded by the sea and Mediterranean light. We like to think that some of that calm stays inside every piece.
When this rocking horse travels to a christening, it carries a little piece of handmade Mallorca with it — that unhurried, no-shortcuts way of doing things we still care for here. For anyone who loves the island, or who is celebrating a special day here, that origin adds a value that’s hard to explain and easy to feel.
How to display it
This piece works just as well as decoration as it does as a keepsake. On a christening table it adds a tender, handmade touch, far from anything mass-produced; handed out among the guests, it becomes the favour each one takes home. And once the celebration is over, it has an obvious second life: in the child’s room, on a shelf, or beside the family photos, where it stays as a lovely object that recalls a particular date. Many families prefer not to light it and keep it intact, precisely for its sentimental value.
Who it’s for
My First Rocking Horse is made above all for christenings, but it also suits a baby shower or a first birthday. It’s the ideal way to thank those who share such a day, and a lovely gift for godparents, grandparents or the family itself. Whoever receives it hears a simple, heartfelt message: thank you for being there.
Made to order, just as you like it
Each order is prepared by hand and made to order, so there’s room to adapt it to your celebration. We can adjust the colours of the ribbon and the details, and take care of the presentation — bag, card and message — so it matches the style of your event. For orders of several units we offer special terms. The best thing is to tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll shape the rest.
A keepsake that grows with them
Handmade things have a quality mass production never reaches: they age well and fill up with the story of whoever keeps them. My First Rocking Horse is made for exactly that — to accompany a child from one of their first big days and stay close as they grow. Modelled in soy wax, of plant origin and gentle flame, it can be lit on a special occasion or kept intact as a little sculpture. Over the years, it will stop being just a candle and become part of the family’s memory.
