Christmas

Give timber they will still unpack next December.

Not another gadget. A place card set, a wooden tree, or a board with their name for the kitchen.

Ordering for Christmas 2026

Every piece is made to order. I send the lead time with your quote. For Christmas delivery across Ireland, request a quote by 5 December 2026.

Engraving does not usually add time, but leave a few days if you want edits to the wording. Need it sooner? Message me on WhatsApp and we will see what the shed can manage.

Where Christmas pieces earn their place

From the dining table to the kitchen drawer. Hardwood that returns each year.

  • 01

    The Christmas table

    Place card holders, napkin rings, and tealight blocks. Small hardwood pieces you will unpack every December.

  • 02

    Mantel and sideboard

    Wooden trees, stars, and a card holder for the post that arrives through the month.

  • 03

    Tree and stocking

    Hardwood ornaments and stocking name tags with twine. Quiet details that feel handmade, not plastic.

  • 04

    Kitchen gifts

    End-grain boards and serving paddles with optional engraving. Useful long after the wrapping is gone.

Engraved initials on a handmade hardwood board

Engraving that feels personal, not loud

Add +€15 on any kitchen board when you request a quote, or ask for names on place cards and stocking tags. Cut into the timber so it stays part of the piece.

  • 01Names for the table

    Place cards and stocking tags with a first name or family name cut clean into the timber.

  • 02Dates and initials

    A wedding year, a house move, or two letters on a board. Keep it short for the cleanest cut.

  • 03Short Christmas lines

    A quiet line for the mantel piece. I will confirm the wording before I cut.
