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.
