Christmas Gifts
Made one at a time in Rockhampton
There's no shelf to pull from here. Every piece is drawn, proofed and cut for the one person whose name is going on it. A bauble with a kid's name, a board for a teacher who earned it, a bottle that finally stops going missing. We post Australia-wide, and if you're in Rockhampton or the Capricorn Coast you can come and collect it.
Engraving from $25 • Full-wrap artwork from $65 • Bottle supplied separately or bring your own.
Family & kids
A decoration with a name on it gets unwrapped every December for twenty years. That's a long time to live with a misspelling, which is why nothing gets cut here until you've seen a proof and said yes.
Order by Friday 11 December to post, Wednesday 16 December to collect from the workshop. Sending to WA, the Territory or Tasmania? Make it 4 December. Dates are how we plan, not a promise, yours gets confirmed in writing with the quote.
Name baubles
One per kid, another one each year. The set grows with the family, which is the entire appeal.
A Christmas Eve crate
The timber box that comes out on the 24th with the pyjamas, the book and the chocolate in it.
A pet ornament
The dog is family. Send us a photo and they go on the tree with everyone else.
A drink bottle
Their name on it, and their own drawing engraved beside it if you send one through, or let us know what you'd like.
Personalised Photo frame
The gift that solves the person who says they don't want anything
Teachers & end of term
Rockhampton classrooms break up on Friday 11 December, and a present that turns up on the 14th is a present for next year. So this is the one to sort first, and it's not only classroom teachers. Teacher aides, the office staff, the coach, the dance teacher, the bus driver who put up with them all year.
Order by Friday 13 November. That's how we plan the bench, not a promise. We'll confirm your date in writing with the quote and proof.
Hard to buy for & last minute
Two problems with the same answer: something small, specific, and obviously chosen for them rather than grabbed off a shelf at the last minute. These are also the jobs we can usually still turn around when the calendar has got away from you, as long as you can collect rather than wait on the post.
After 16 December, ring us. It depends entirely on what's on the bench that week, and you'll get a straight answer in a minute rather than a maybe that becomes a no.
Cheese board
Big or small with a funny phrase or something sentimental. We have some boards in stock, you can pick one up for us to engrave.
A personalised keyring
Small, quick, and carried every day for years — which is more than most Christmas presents manage.
A personalised wallet
Add their name or initials on the front and/or a special message on the inside.
A special stubby holder
Also works great on a keep cup if that's their beverage of choice! Add a personal touch and watch them use it over and over.
Made here, and you can come and get it
Everything is cut in our Rockhampton workshop, which means locals skip the postage queue entirely and get an extra week on every deadline on this page. We're a short run for anyone in Gracemere, Yeppoon, Emu Park or anywhere along the Capricorn Coast, and if you're driving in from further out, ring first and we'll have it ready at the door.

Your item or ours
Bring your own
Got a Frank Green, Stanley, Yeti or that stubby cooler you're weirdly attached to? Post it or drop it in. You only pay for the design and the work.
The fine print: we're careful, but engraving is permanent and we can't replace an item you supplied. We'll always tell you upfront if we think something's risky.
We'll supply it
We keep a small range of bottles, tumblers and metal stubby coolers we know engrave beautifully. Tell us the size and finish you want and we'll quote it with the artwork.
Doing a team or a whole workplace? We can source in bulk — just tell us how many.
Doing gifts for a team or client list?
Branded drinkware, boards and gift crates, from one to two hundred. We can add your logo, personalise for your customers and clients or whatever you need.
Frequently asked questions
Not necessarily. Ring us. Depending on what you're after and what's on the bench, we can often still do it. What we won't do is take the order, stay quiet, and let you find out on the 23rd.
Yes. Put their address in the notes on the order form and tell us if you'd like the invoice left out of the parcel.
No, don't wait. Get your order in our queue so we can reserve time and start ensuring we have any needed materials.
