Personalised Bamboo & Slate Cheese Board Set

A long bamboo board, a charcoal slate inset, three small knives tucked into their own compartments. Set it down on the kitchen island on a Friday evening and the conversation tends to gather around it — the way good objects do.

The slate lifts out for washing, then slides back into place. It takes laser engraving to a soft, chalky etch, which means a recipient's name or a company mark sits into the stone rather than on top of it. Bamboo grain runs warm against the cool slate, and because it's a natural material, no two boards read exactly the same. The full set arrives in a matte black gift box, the knives and fork already nested in their compartments, ready for the first bottle of red.

For the client you'd like to thank properly, or the long-serving team member whose Christmas hamper has started to feel a little predictable, this lands differently. It moves into the kitchen, not the desk drawer. It gets used on weekends, brought out for in-laws, photographed with figs and a wedge of something French. The brand mark, etched once into slate, becomes part of a small ritual rather than a piece of marketing. Board measures 360 x 250mm, slate 200 x 200mm, presented in a 378 x 265mm gift box. Engraving included on the slate, 70 x 30mm print area.
