Personalised wooden family board, Scrabble-style names on a tree of life

Up to six first names, cut as Scrabble-style tiles, crossing through the branches of a tree of life engraved into the wood. Below, this line: "La famille, un trésor que le temps ne peut effacer" (family, a treasure time cannot erase).

This is a gift for a whole household rather than one person. Everyone finds their own name on it, and no two boards are alike since each depends on who the family is.

What you receive

• A 25 x 35 cm wooden panel, ready to hang.
• The tree of life and the quotation engraved into the wood.
• Up to six first names, cut in relief and mounted onto the panel.
• The small coloured hearts are optional: just tell me if you would like them.

How to personalise it

Enter the names in the field provided, one per line. I then work out how the words cross using their shared letters, like a real grid. Some combinations take a little puzzling, which is exactly why every board is unique.

If a very long name makes the layout difficult, I let you know before cutting and we find a solution together.

Occasions

A wedding anniversary, a retirement, a grandparents' Christmas, a housewarming. It also makes an ideal group gift when several people want to give something together.
