Personalised 21st Birthday Wooden Keepsake Box

Turning 21 (or 18, or 30...) is a big deal – and this personalised wooden box is made to hold a little piece of it. Cards, confetti, photos from the night, or something small-but-special from the person who knows them best.

Each one is made and hand-finished in our workshop, with their name carved into the lid and a short message just underneath. It’s a simple, thoughtful way to mark a milestone – nothing over the top, but something that lasts.

Made from real birch ply and finished with a soft wax in our new light birch colour, it has a clean, fresh feel that’s perfect for birthdays or other big moments. Inside, there’s a felt lining and just the right amount of space for keepsakes worth holding onto – a special card, dried flowers, jewellery, tickets, party photos, even a note they’ll want to re-read one day.

This memory box also makes a lovely gift for a Confirmation, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, christening, or even the arrival of a new baby – any time life takes a meaningful turn.

Personalise the lid with a first name, carefully carved into the wood for a clean, bold finish. You can also add a short message underneath – or keep it simple with just the name. Totally up to you.

We use A–Z, 0–9 and basic punctuation, and once engraved, the lettering is whitened to make it stand out beautifully against the birch wood.

You can also choose to line the inside of the box with felt – we’ve got nine colours to pick from, including soft ivory, rich burgundy, cherry red and mustard. It’s a small detail that adds a real touch of luxury.
