Personalised Solid Pine Christmas Eve Box – Reusable Family Keepsake

PERSONALISED SOLID PINE CHRISTMAS EVE BOX

WOOD STAIN OPTIONS

Choose from:

• Pine - Light
• Light Oak

• Walnut
• Brown Mahogany

Pine - Light gives the timber a pale natural appearance while the box remains fully finished and protected.

It is not a raw or unfinished wood option.

REAL SOLID PINE

This box is made from genuine solid pine timber.

It is not a thin plywood gift box, MDF box or mass-produced ready-made blank.

The substantial timber construction, natural grain and hand-finished surface give every box its own individual character.

HANDCRAFTED CONSTRUCTION

Each box is built from solid timber and individually assembled in our workshop.

Features include:

• Solid pine construction
• Hand-assembled box body
• Hardwood corner reinforcement
• Metal hinges
• Secure front clasp
• Lid limiter
• Hand-finished timber
• Personalised engraving
• Waxed or oiled finish
• Hand-polished surface

MADE FROM SCRATCH

Each box is individually produced from raw timber.

The process typically includes:

• Solid pine selected
• Timber cut
• Box assembled and glued
• Clamped
• Sanded
• Corner slots cut
• Hardwood wedges fitted
• Lid separated from the completed box body
• Edges refined
• Personalisation prepared and engraved
• Wood stained
• Hinges and clasp fitted
• Lid limiter fitted
• Waxed or oiled
• Hand polished
• Final inspection
• Carefully packed

Hardwood corner wedges may naturally vary in species, colour and grain.

A CHRISTMAS TRADITION MADE TO RETURN EVERY YEAR

This is not disposable Christmas packaging.

It is designed as a lasting wooden keepsake that can be brought out every December, filled with festive surprises and enjoyed year after year.

The larger sizes are especially suitable for siblings, couples and family Christmas traditions.

NATURAL WOOD & HANDMADE CHARACTERISTICS

Real timber is a natural material and no two boxes will ever be identical.

Your box may naturally show:

• Grain variation
• Growth rings
• Natural colour differences
• Knots
• Partially open knots
• Fallen knots
• Knot holes
• Natural voids and cavities
• Tiny pinholes
• Resin or sap pockets
• Small depressions
• Fine checks, cracks or splits
• Different stain absorption
• Slight engraving shade or depth variation caused by grain, resin and timber density
• Minor sanding, routing or tool marks
• Subtle glue traces around handmade joints
• Small workshop handling marks
• Tiny dents
• Wax or polishing traces
• Hardwood wedge variation
• Small alignment differences in handmade joints
• Slight measurement variation
• Natural wood movement caused by changes in temperature and humidity

These are natural characteristics of genuine solid timber and handmade production and are not considered defects.

FRESH WOOD & FINISH SCENT

As your box is newly handcrafted from genuine timber and freshly finished, you may notice a natural scent of fresh pine combined with wood stain, wax or finishing oil when first unpacked.

This is completely normal and is not a defect.

The scent will gradually reduce after unpacking and natural airing.

If preferred, allow the box to air naturally for approximately 24–48 hours before filling it.

CARE

• Indoor use only
• Keep away from excessive moisture
• Do not soak or wash
• Dust or wipe gently with a soft dry cloth
• Avoid prolonged exposure to strong direct heat
• Avoid prolonged damp or humid conditions
• Do not overload the lid or hardware
• Lift larger boxes carefully when filled
• Store in a dry place when not in use
