Personalised Christmas gifts: engraved to order, shipped within 48 h
A personalised gift cannot be bought on 23 December: it is engraved to order, and that is the delay to plan for. Allow 48 hours in the workshop, then 48 to 72 hours in transit within France and two days more across a border — an order placed before 15 December reaches Britain from the south of France with room to spare. The rest is a question of who, not of budget: every bracelet is €23.90 whatever is engraved on it, and posters run from €8.90 for the print-it-yourself file to €69.90 for a 70 × 100. One of them needs nothing filled in, so nothing has to be asked of anyone: the wave bracelet. The others start from a date of birth, a sport or a place. And the morning the presents are opened is not the same date in every country.

Star Sign Bracelet – Engraved Wood, Birthday Gift
The easiest to give when all you know is a date of birth: the sign follows from it, and nothing has to be asked. Twelve motifs, one question to settle.
€23.90
-
Two Initials and a Symbol Bracelet – Heart or Infinity Engraved
The gift brothers and sisters order together for a parent: two initials framing a symbol, on a single bead. One order, one parcel, two names on it.
€23.90
-
Men’s Surf Bracelet – Engraved Wave, Nothing to Personalise
Nothing to fill in, so nothing to ask: the wave is engraved already. This is the one for a nephew or a brother-in-law whose dates and initials you do not know.
€23.90
-
Personalised Cycling Bracelet – Road, Mountain, Gravel or City
Four outlines — city, road, gravel, mountain. Picking the right one proves you have looked at which bike he rides, and that detail is what tells under the tree.
€23.90
-
Personalised Mountain Bracelet – Choice of Seven Peaks
The one motif meant to be given twice: two bracelets with the same profile, under the same tree, for two people who climbed the same mountain. Seven summits to pick from, engraved without their names.
€23.90
-
Personalised star map poster
Five thousand stars worked out for one particular night: a birth, a wedding, a departure. It is the gift you order in November because it needs a date, a place and an hour — and the only one on this page that goes on a wall.
From €8.90
-
Personalised city map poster
The map of a place that matters, cropped by you. The print-it-yourself file, at €8.90, is the only thing in the shop that skips the workshop: no engraving, no parcel.
From €8.90
Which to choose
| If… | Then |
|---|---|
| You know their date of birth | The star sign bracelet |
| The children are clubbing together for a parent | The initials and symbol bracelet |
| You know nothing specific about him | The wave bracelet, nothing to fill in |
| He rides, or he climbs | The cycling bracelet, or the summit bracelet |
| You want something that gets framed | The star map or city map poster |
| You would rather have it printed yourself | The print-it-yourself file, €8.90 |
The dates, and when to order
| Occasion | When | When to order |
|---|---|---|
| In Britain | Christmas morning, 25 December | Order before 15 December |
| In France | under the tree on 25 December | Order before 18 December |
| In Germany | Bescherung on the evening of the 24th | Order before 14 December |
| In Spain | the Three Kings on 6 January, more often than the 25th | Order before 27 December |
| The print-it-yourself file | no workshop time at all | No engraving to do, no parcel to send |
Six to seven days door to door across a border, four to five within France: the dates above keep two or three days of slack, which is December’s only luxury.
Frequently asked questions
How late can you order an engraved Christmas gift?
Until 15 December for Britain: 48 hours in the workshop, then 48 to 72 hours in transit plus two days for the crossing. For France itself, 18 December; for Germany, where presents are opened on the evening of the 24th, 14 December. After those dates we stop promising to be there for the day.
When are presents opened from one country to another?
In Britain and France, on the morning of 25 December. In Germany, the Bescherung happens on the evening of the 24th — a day earlier, which moves the ordering deadline. In Spain the Three Kings on 6 January remain the main day, ahead of 25 December — and that is the latest ordering deadline of the four countries.
What do you choose when you know neither their birthday nor their initials?
The wave bracelet: the engraving is fixed, there is only a colour and a size to pick. The cycling bracelet asks only which bike they ride, and the summit bracelet which mountain counts for them — two things you can notice without asking.
Is there a Christmas gift at a small price?
The print-it-yourself poster file is €8.90: the map of a place, or the sky of a date, in high resolution, printed wherever you like. Every bracelet is €23.90 including the engraving, in its kraft box. A printed poster starts at €19.90 for an A4 unframed.
Can you give the same bracelet to several people in a family?
Yes, and it is common at Christmas: the summit bracelet with the same profile for three people who climbed it together, or the initials and symbol bracelet with the same letters. The engraving stays identical and the cord colour tells them apart — ten colours, from black to Flower Power.
