A gift guide for people who are impossible to shop for
Personalized without being corny: scenes, dates and details that make a wallet feel like it was made for one person.
A custom wallet works as a gift for the same reason it's hard to buy one: it has to be about a specific person.
Start with a place, not a hobby
A generic "fishing" wallet is a shrug. The bend in the river where he learned to fish is a gift. Places carry memory in a way activities do not.
Good source material
The mountain range they grew up looking at. The skyline of the city they moved away from. The tree in the backyard of the house they sold. A lake, a trailhead, a coastline.
Add a date, quietly
Engraved text on the inside is the move. A date, initials, coordinates. Visible to them, invisible to everyone else.
Match the woods to the person
Someone understated gets walnut and maple. Someone bold gets padauk against ebony. It's a real signal and people notice it.
Timing
These are made by hand, so order earlier than you think for a dated occasion. If you're close to the wire, ask us before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes it.
Describe it. We draw it in wood.
Type any scene and watch it take shape as a real hardwood inlay design.
