They’re getting married and they’ve got everything. You haven’t a clue. If only you could find some unique wedding presents to buy…

So many of our customers purchase their wedding presents from us. They tell us that, even when the couple has everything, there’s always room for our handmade wooden gifts. 

Practical, personalised and timeless, they’re the perfect balance. With such a raft of great feedback, we know your happy duo will be delighted.  

Without further ado, here are five fantastic and unique ideas for wedding presents.

Unique wedding presents they’ll be thrilled to receive

#1: Personalised chopping board

There are chopping boards, and then, there are chopping boards. Crafted from solid European oak, your wedding couple will marvel at the workmanship that’s gone into their special board. At 42mm thick, they’re weighty and long-lasting. You’re choosing a high quality, British-made item here. It’ll take pride of place in their kitchen.

Engraved with your personalised message on the edge and base, this is a keeper to help them remember their spectacular day.

“Top marks for fantastic speedy service (arrived early) and a great quality product…bought as a wedding present.” Sue T

#2: Welly boot stand

If your couple love the outdoors, indulge them with their own, personalised welly boot stand. Robust and strong, it’s designed to stand outside against a wall. Finished in Osmo UV Protection oil, it’s ready to withstand the elements.

Choose from a stand to hold two pairs of wellies (his and hers), or up to six. Perhaps in anticipation of little feet?

“We bought this engraved welly boot rack as a wedding present – brilliant. My daughter and son-in-law loved it.” Kenneth W

#3: Tealight holder

Perhaps, in your quest for unique wedding presents, you’re searching for something romantic? Let me introduce our tealight holders.

Holding from two to ten tealights, your wooden holder will be crafted from a single piece of solid oak and hand-finished with three coats of oil to bring out the beauty of the graining. Add a personalised message for the couple and they’ll love using this; in the lounge, in the bathroom, in the bedroom.

No reviews! A bit of creativity?

“They loved it! Thank you so much. The quality is out of this world and your help with my order most welcome.” Anna C

#4: Gin & tonic board

What could be more thoughtful than their very own G&T board? Add a cheeky message on the base if you like. They’ll love using it to make refreshing drinks together in the evening.

Designed and made with love, we want this board to take pride of place in their home for years to come. And so, it will. Your thoughtful (and unique) wedding present.

“Fabulous ...once again! A really thoughtful gift for us G&T lovers. I have bought a few!” Lorraine B

#5: Coat rack with shelf

Satisfyingly heavy, this coat rack will last as long as their marriage. Choose from three to ten hooks – all finished in brushed steel. They’ll welcome the hidden fixings that prevent unsightly screws in the wall.

If your wedding couple are still nest building, this coat rack is ideal. A homely sight when you walk in the door. And of course, we’ll engrave your personal message on the edge.

“Was slightly put off at first with the price. But wow is it worth it!!” Sarah C

It’ll soon be here. Are you ready?
On Sunday 16th June, you’ll no doubt be celebrating Father’s Day, like so many of us. You might organise a family meal or a trip out. And then, there’s the gift. Dads have everything! So, how about considering personalised Father’s Day gifts this year?
Imagine his face when he unwraps something so thoughtful. And personalised to him. Made in high-grade oak, our handmade wooden gifts are crafted to last. There’s plenty of choice too, when it comes to making that all important decision.
Too much choice, you say?
In case you can’t decide, here are three gift ideas that ALWAYS prove popular for Father’s Day.

Personalised Father’s Day gifts to guarantee smiles

#1: Large personalised carving board
Does Dad always carve? I think it goes back to the hunter gatherer thing. Central to the family meal, Dad loves to provide the meat. So, why not treat him to his very own wooden carving board?
Hard wearing and a beautiful centrepiece, we can engrave it with your personal message; front edge and base. It really will belong to Dad. And he’ll be proud to use it: week after week; year after year.
We also offer an extra-large carving board if you prefer. Or can tailor-make something to suit you.
“Much better than I expected and such a great gift. Thanks so much.”

#2: Dad’s welly boot jack
Is he a keen gardener? Or a dog walker? Then, wellies will be regular footwear. Welcome him back inside, muddy boots removed, using his personalised wooden boot jack. We’ll engrave whatever message you’d like on it. And it’s oiled with Osmo UV-Protection, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Heavy weight and sturdy, it can sit in your porch, by the back door, or even next to Dad’s shed. They’re useful personalised Father’s Day gifts – you’ll want one yourself!
“Very pleased. It was present for Dad. And it works perfectly.”

#3: Personalised Father’s Day keyrings
There’ll be somewhere he likes to lock up regularly. His special shed, the garage, the greenhouse. Even the house if you like! We offer two sizes of our personalised Father’s Day keyrings.
Handmade from European oak, they can be 10cm or 15cm long. That ensures he never loses his keys and leaves enough space to engrave your personal message. We can even engrave both sides if you like.
“Fantastic! Dad will always find his keys now. And not confuse them with mine.”

Did you know…
Father’s Day is celebrated in well over 100 countries across the globe. Whilst Catholic Europe has been celebrating it on 19th March since the Middle Ages, the UK, and many more countries, follow America’s lead: the third Sunday in June. Other regions choose dates throughout the year. We found this Father’s Day Wikipedia article very interesting. You might too?

Wood anniversary gifts are traditionally chosen to celebrate five years of married bliss. You’ll appreciate the symbolism. Wood (especially oak) is strong and long-lasting, just like a happy marriage should be after five years.
If you’re searching for 5th wedding anniversary gifts – perhaps for your husband, maybe for friends – we create personalised, handmade gifts from the highest-grade oak.
Wood anniversary gifts follow fruit and flowers
It’s fun to focus on the traditional gift for each year of marriage. Most of us know it starts with paper at one year. Did you manage that? It’s then cotton at two years, leather for three years and fruit or flowers for four years.
All seems quite straight forward so far!
Well, now you’ve got to wood: the tradition for 5th wedding anniversary gifts. It’s the perfect material to choose something a little more long-lasting.
Whether their taste is modern or old, wooden gifts are timeless. There’s something rather tactile about wood – we’re compelled to touch it and run our finger tips over it. Everyone loves to receive a gift made from wood.

5th wedding anniversary gift ideas
Your choice of gift will depend on the recipient. Should it be a couple – perhaps friends or relatives, our personalised chopping boards are popular. If it’s a gift for your other half, consider our bath tray or tealight holders (just add bubbly).
Here’s a little inspiration for you:

Idea 1: personalised chopping boards
With many shapes and sizes to choose from, our boards stand proudly in any home. Practical as well as beautiful, we’ll engrave your personal message on the edge and base. They’re fabulous wood anniversary gifts.
Our Gin & Tonic Chopping Board is a favourite. The perfect way to prepare your tipple. And a classic option is our Medium Chopping Board. Whatever you choose, they’re all created to order from solid, European oak – handmade in Worcestershire.

Idea 2: bath tray
A slightly more romantic 5th wedding anniversary gift is our bath tray. With a nod to relaxing evenings, it sits comfortably over the deepest bubble bath, holding everything they might need whilst amongst the bubbles: tealights that sit safely in dedicated holes, a tablet holder and a wine glass holder slot.
With different widths available, you can add a personal message on the edges in addition to the base (a secret message perhaps?) It’s as sturdy as they come – and the perfect finishing touch to any bathroom.

Idea 3: tealight holders
Handmade in many sizes, tealight holders make thoughtful wooden anniversary gifts. Sit them on the hearth or perhaps in the bedroom. With the tealights lit, they’ll soon create an intimate atmosphere – perfect for 5th wedding anniversaries!
From two tealights upwards, we’ll create the size you want. And the bigger the holder, the longer your personalised message can be. We include the tealights, so they’re all set, having unwrapped your gift.

Want to add a bit more fun?
Our personalised wooden key rings raise a smile every time. Add your celebratory message or recognise their special place; be it their garden (man) shed or a storage chest of special things in the home.
Any wedding anniversary is a time for gifts: the 5th one is no exception. With a wooden theme, be as creative as you like with us, and know they’ll love the result. We’ll even custom-make your gift if it’s not based on our range.

P.S. The traditional gift for a 6th wedding anniversary is sugar. Really. We can’t help you there, but we’re sure you’ll have fun looking…
