Wooderful Life by Solib
A music box is the kind of gift that lasts a lifetime: you receive one at birth, and years later, you still recognize that tune before you even know where it's coming from. Drift away to the soothing melodies of Wooderful Life music boxes and be enchanted by the wooden spinning tops. This Taiwanese brand, launched in 2012, is music to our ears: handmade, the best materials, and a magnificent passion for the very best. The wood comes from sustainably managed forests and the finish is non-toxic, so you can rest assured leaving such a music box on a nursery shelf for years to come.
A world that spins on music
From dinosaurs to the sea, from ballet to safari, and from a unicorn with swans to Santa Claus on his carousel: every wooden music box is a small stage that comes to life the moment you wind it up. Trains travel, figures spin around, and the box plays for about two minutes before coming to a halt. The melodies are true classics, from Air on the G String to Joy to the World. A fun fact: the internal mechanism is from Sankyo, the Japanese specialist in music box movements, and you can hear the difference in the pure tone. Convenient for parents: there is an on/off switch, so it stays silent if a child has just fallen asleep.
Works of art in limited edition
Every music box is handmade by artisans and released in limited editions, which immediately makes them collectors' items: the larger models are intended for ages fourteen and up and are just as frequently purchased for adults. That makes a music box one of the most beautiful baby shower gifts there is, but equally a gift for a wedding, a housewarming, or for someone who already has everything. These are all designs that not only have a magical effect on little ones but manage to amaze everyone.
And then there are the wooden spinning tops
In the same collection, you will find wooden spinning tops, each with its own French name: Toupie Danseuse, Toupie Cirque, Toupie Arc en ciel, Toupie Magicien. They come from the same Taiwanese workshop as the music boxes, are hand-painted, and each has its own center of gravity, causing one to spin more slowly and majestically than another, naturally leading children to compare which one spins the longest. Such a spinning top is small enough as a gift under 25 euros and beautiful enough to leave out on display when it's not spinning. Ordered in a few clicks and delivered to your home.
