Personalized LED Tree Topper

What Is a Personalised Tree Topper and Where Does It Go on Your Christmas Tree?

A tree topper is the decoration at the very top of the tree. It completes the tree's outline, while baubles and ornaments hang from the branches below.

At Custom Chic, you can personalise this decoration with a family photo, a child or pet portrait, or an illustration with names, depending on the model. Your family takes the highest position on the tree, with a picture chosen for this Christmas.

A custom Christmas tree topper is a Christmas present for parents, grandparents or a friend's family. Offer it before the festive season for them to attach when decorating their tree.

How Does the Personalised LED Tree Topper Light Up?

Our LED tree topper has a white acrylic panel, an LED strip and a stainless steel spiral base. We UV-print the personalisation on the front of the panel.

Once switched on, the LEDs cast a warm light around the photo or illustration. The topper operates without a visible cable: a CR2032 battery and switch power the light, with no connection to a socket.

The metal base fits around the top branch to support the decoration. This personalised tree topper has its own lighting, without an extra string of fairy lights around the artwork.

Which Custom Tree Topper Design Should You Choose?

The right design depends mainly on the people or pets you want to feature. Our custom tree toppers include photo-based designs and an illustrated family version.

Custom Photo Christmas Tree Toppers for Parents and Grandparents

Choose a portrait of children, grandchildren or several generations for a custom photo Christmas tree topper with a family theme. Grandparents who enjoy displaying pictures of their loved ones may particularly appreciate this topper. Pick an image with faces close enough together to remain recognisable.

Personalised Tree Toppers for Baby's First Christmas

Parents can display their baby's portrait at the top of the tree to mark the baby's first Christmas. Grandparents might also choose a Christmas tree star topper with photo personalisation, using a picture of their grandchild. A clear, well-lit portrait centres the picture on the child's expression.

Custom Christmas Tree Toppers with Pet Photos

For a family attached to their dog or cat, a personalised tree topper with a pet photo features their companion among the decorations. It might mark the first Christmas after an adoption or show a favourite picture of the pet.

Illustrated Character Christmas Tree Toppers with Family Names

Prefer an illustrated composition? To create your own Christmas tree topper with the family artwork, fill in the names and other editable details available. A character Christmas tree topper is for households that enjoy illustrated decorations and would like everyone's name on the tree.

What Size Personalised Tree Topper Is Right for Your Christmas Tree?

Our toppers come in three sizes, measuring up to 15 cm (6 in), 20 cm (8 in) and 25 cm (10 in), priced at £22.95, £25.95 and £28.95, respectively, excluding delivery. Final dimensions vary with the shape of the artwork.

The 15 cm size is discreet when space at the top is limited. The 20 cm size leaves more room for the picture. The 25 cm version draws more attention, particularly on a broad tree, provided the top branch supports it.

When choosing a personalised star tree topper, consider the tree's width, the firmness of its top branch and the clearance below the ceiling. Height alone is not enough: two trees of the same height may have very different outlines.

The base measures approximately 11 × 8 cm (4.3 × 3.1 in). Allow room for this metal section when assessing how the decoration will attach.

Pair Your Personalised Tree Topper with Other Christmas Decorations

Your personalised tree topper places family memories at the top of the Christmas tree. Other decorations can carry matching names, photographs or illustrations across the branches and around the base.

• Personalised Christmas Ornaments: Add a name, photo or illustration, depending on the model. Pick one for each family member or mark a first Christmas together.

• Personalised Christmas Baubles: Display your loved ones' names or photos among the branches to complement the composition on the topper.

• Personalised Christmas Tree Skirts: Cover the tree stand with a family composition. The skirt extends the decoration beneath the presents.

Repeat the same names on the topper and other pieces, or dedicate each decoration to a different memory.

How to Attach Your Personalised Tree Topper to Your Christmas Tree

Before attaching your personalised tree topper, check that the tree is stable and access to the top is clear.

• Find a top branch firm enough to support the decoration without bending excessively.

• Position the spiral base around the tip, without applying force to the acrylic panel.

• Turn the printed face towards the main viewing angle in the room, with the personalisation clearly visible.

• Gradually release the topper and check that it remains upright.

• Switch on the LEDs once the decoration is properly attached.

Both real and artificial Christmas trees can accommodate the topper, provided the upper branch and tree shape are compatible with the spiral base.

Storing Your Personalised Tree Topper Safely After Christmas

Clean the acrylic panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products, harsh cleaners and moisture near the electrical components.

After Christmas, switch off the topper and gently release its base from the branch. Protect the printed face and metal spiral separately inside a box.

When storing several toppers or other decorations together, prevent direct contact with the personalised surfaces. Heavy objects must not rest on the panel or compress the base.
