A personalised chopping board is more than just a kitchen accessory — it’s thoughtful gift that brings a personal touch to every occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, a new home, or saying thank you to someone special, a beautifully engraved board from Rowland Designs makes a lasting impression.
Here are ten meaningful ways to transform a simple chopping board into a cherished keepsake.
1. Wedding Keepsake Board
Engrave the couple’s names, wedding date, or even a line from their vows. It’s a timeless reminder of their big day and a practical piece they can use for years to come.
2. New Home Gift
Celebrate a housewarming with a board engraved with the family name or “Established [Year]”. It’s a perfect touch for a new kitchen or dining space.
3. Anniversary Board
Mark a special milestone with a message like “10 Years of Love” or a simple date that means everything. Wooden gifts also align beautifully with the traditional 5th wedding anniversary theme.
4. Birthday Gift
Make birthdays more memorable with a personalised board engraved with a favourite quote, nickname, or inside joke that brings a smile every time it’s used.
5. Family Recipe Board
Engrave a treasured recipe onto the board for a meaningful heirloom that celebrates generations of family cooking.
6. Cheese & Wine Lovers’ Gift
Pair a personalised board with a bottle of wine and some cheese — a ready-made gift set for any foodie friend or relative.
7. Corporate or Thank-You Gift
Add a company logo or message of appreciation to a board as an elegant, sustainable way to thank staff or clients.
8. Engagement Gift
Commemorate the start of a couple’s journey with “The Future Mr & Mrs [Surname]” engraved on a handcrafted oak or beech board.
9. Christmas Gift
Engrave a festive message like “Christmas at the Thompsons” or “Baked with Love” for a heartwarming seasonal touch.
10. Self-Gift for Your Own Kitchen
You don’t always need an occasion! Add your own family name, favourite quote, or house name to create a centrepiece for your kitchen or dining table.
