Some of the most-used gifts are ordinary household things made personal. An engraved chopping board comes out every evening; a house sign is seen every day. These are the household items we are asked to engrave most, whether you send your own or ask us to source one.

- Chopping and serving boards with a family name and “est.” date, a recipe in a loved one’s handwriting, or a map of where you met.
- Wooden spoons and utensils as a set for a new home.
- Recipe boxes, spice jars and storage tins.
- Wine boxes and cheese boards for anniversaries.
Drinks
- Pint, wine and whisky glasses for birthdays and retirements.

Ideas for what to engrave
Family names and dates, coordinates of your first home, a favourite recipe in handwriting, a child’s drawing or a short line of a poem in your own words. For more wording ideas read what to engrave.
