2. Canape Serving Boards and wooden Charcuterie Boards

For those who are less well-versed in the culinary arts, but are equally as fond of the dining experience, we’d recommend the canape and/or resolute platter. These boards lend a certain grace to the dining experience. Nothing looks quite as sophisticated, or elegant, as displaying your dishes on a handmade wooden product like our platter boards.
And they come in two forms – the reprise and the resolute. As the name suggests, the reprise canape board is perfect for arranging your delicious canapes in rows. But most importantly of all is hand-crafted from organically sourced Arctic Maplewood.
Our resolute platter board can be used for the same purpose. However, it’s designed specifically for presenting your favourite treats at those formal and more elegant gatherings. Handcrafted from reclaimed mahogany hardwood. These canape boards are perfect for fancy cheeses, savoury bites, or sweet treats. The resolute platter board is just the ticket for those who enjoy the finer things in life.

3. Eco Friendly Air Freshener

Air fresheners can contain chemicals and other artificial ingredients that subsequently give quite strong and overpowering scents. Sometimes that can be exactly what you need but sometimes you want something subtle. Something a little more suited for the everyday.
Thankfully, The Wooden Gem is here to offer you an eco-friendly alternative to store-bought fresheners, that looks as good as it smells.
Our eco-air freshener makes the perfect gift for a loved one all year round. An ideal choice for a stocking filler don’t you think?
