🎄🎁 CHRISTMAS ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN! 🎁🎄

Well, Christmas is creeping up on us again! 😂🎅

We've been busy creating personalised slate gifts here at Etched & Crafted, and we're now taking orders for Christmas! ❤️

One piece we're particularly proud of is the beautiful Duffy, who takes pride of place at the beginning of our photo collection. 🐾❤️

Duffy's owner very kindly gave us permission to showcase her memorial slate, and we think she looks absolutely gorgeous engraved.

But Duffy is just one example of what we can create!

📸 Swipe through our photographs to see some of the different designs and possibilities. From much-loved pets to treasured family moments, favourite vehicles and special memories, there's so much we can do with your own photographs.

If you're looking for something a little different this Christmas, why not give someone a personalised gift that's been made especially for them? ❤️

🐾 Pets and pet portraits
🐴 Horses and other animals
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family portraits and generations
🚗 Cars and motorbikes
🏡 Houses and special places
❤️ Memorials and treasured memories
💍 Weddings and special occasions

🎁 PERSONALISED SLATE OPTIONS

🐾 100 × 100mm slate coaster – £15
Available in round or square.

🐾 200 × 300mm personalised slate – from £30
Perfect for displaying a favourite photograph or treasured memory.

🖤 Large metal display stands – £3
Smaller stands hopefully available soon!

Every piece is individually designed, laser engraved and hand-finished right here in Johnshaven, Scotland.

🎅 As everything is made individually, please get your Christmas orders in early so we've got plenty of time to give each piece the attention it deserves.
