Wooden Gifts Care
Our range of wooden gifts are made from natural wood. Each one is thoughtfully crafted with care, embracing the unique knots, grains, and textures that make it special.
To keep your wooden gifts looking beautiful and functioning safely please follow these care guidelines.
Wooden Chopping Boards
To maintain the finish on your wooden chopping board, they have been specially designed for chopping to be performed on the plain side only. One side features a decorative watercolour design, ideal for serving, styling, or simply leaning against the wall to bring a little art to your everyday. Flip it over, and you’ll find a smooth, plain Beech surface, finished with a natural food-safe oil, ready for all the usual chopping, slicing, and prepping.
🌿 Cleaning
Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.
For a deeper clean, wash gently by hand with mild soap and warm water.
Never soak or put in the dishwasher this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
💨 Drying
Always dry the board thoroughly after washing.
Stand upright or lay flat in a well-ventilated spot to dry completely.
🪵 Oiling
To keep the wood nourished and protected, re-oil your board regularly with a food-safe oil (we use natural mineral or butcher’s block oil). Apply a small amount with a soft cloth and let it absorb overnight. Wipe away any excess the next day.
🚫 Avoid
Avoid prolonged contact with wet or acidic foods.
Do not leave standing water or wet cloths on the board.
Please note that any ribbons that belong to the platter may cause a choking hazard so please keep platters out of reach of children.
With a little care, your Beechwood board will only get better with age, developing a rich patina and staying a beautiful part of your kitchen for years to come.
Wooden Boxes
Our boxes are not intended to be played with by children, they are intended to be used as a gift and storage box.
The boxes have metal clasps and hinges, take care when opening the box that fingers do not get caught.
The box has two hinges at the back. Should these become loose they could present a choking hazard.
To clean your wooden keepsake box we recommend dusting with a dry cloth.
Make sure wooden boxes are stored in a clean, dry place. If stored in damp or wet conditions the integrity of the wood could be compromised and affect the finish of the box. Do not store your wooden box near open flames as this could present a fire hazard.
Wooden Tealight Holders
Always place the tealight holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated room.
Never leave lit tealights unattended. Even for a brief moment, a lit tealight can quickly become a fire hazard if left unattended.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Children and pets can be attracted to flames and may accidentally knock over a tealight, causing a fire or burns.
Keep away from flammable materials. Maintain a safe distance from curtains, paper, furniture, and other flammable materials.
Our tealights have a burn time of 3.5 hours.
Only use standard-sized tealights in metal casings. Never burn a tealight directly on the wood surface.
Do not burn tealights in a draught.
When burning tealights keep the wax clear of debris e.g matches.
Inspect regularly. Check the holder for any cracks, damage, or excessive soot build-up, and clean as needed.
Use a snuffer or cover to extinguish tealights. Avoid blowing out tealights, as this can cause splattering and the risk of restarting the flame.
Dispose of tea lights responsibly. When the tealight is completely burned down, dispose of the holder and wax safely, according to local guidelines.
Store the tealight holder and tealights in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage and discoloration.
