Test result preview
The birthday crown from the Little Goods brand is a crown made of 100% muslin that can be used for children’s birthday parties.
The two-tone, reversible crown comes in bright, gender-neutral colours.
The product measures 40 cm in length and 14 cm in height. The crown can be attached to the back of the head with a fabric strap so that it fits any child’s head.
The product can be reused every year thanks to the numbers supplied, which can simply be stuck to the front of the crown.
The inside of the crown is made of felt, providing the necessary stability while ensuring a comfortable fit.
For a perfect fit, we recommend ironing the crown before use .
One positive aspect to emphasise is the fact that the numbers can be stuck to the crown several times without any problems and hardly lose any of their adhesive strength.
Overall, this is a high-quality and well thought-out product that is supplied in high-quality and sustainable packaging without plastic.
Advantages

- Adjustable in size

The birthday crown from the Little Goods brand was subjected to an extensive practical test.
The birthday numbers can be removed from the film without any problems and impress with their high adhesive strength. They were peeled off and stuck on several times and remained well attached to the crown even after repeated use .
In terms of fit and comfort, the crown was found to sit comfortably on the head . The light weight of the product was also perceived as pleasant by the child.
In terms of durability, the crown is convincing: all components are carefully and firmly sewn together and the bobble on the crown cannot be removed. The entire crown appears robust, which is why, in addition to the good durability and repeated use of the product can be assumed.
When you smell the crown, there is no detectable odour, which indicates the use of high-quality, natural materials.
With the help of the tie band on the back of the product, the crown can be tied to fit heads of different sizes. The crown does not slip too quickly during normal movements.
The birthday crown is a high-quality and robust product that can be used several times for birthday parties.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough . Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation .
Prices of up to €16.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from just €12.99 . The birthday crown from Little Goods is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €19.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
