Have just received pair of bookends for my grandson for his Christening (actually shown on website with 2 M’s) and am absolutely thrilled with them. The quality of the wood and workmanship is superb and the service was marvellous. His date of birth was engraved on the back, so he will have something special that will last a lifetime. What a wonderful product and I recommend this company to anyone looking for something unique.

We recently ordered an engraved wooden Christening Bookend for Grandson Noah. Just wanted to say how pleased we are with this. The workmanship is brilliant and backed up by great service. Although the first one was slightly damaged in transit, the return and quick response in getting a pristine version to us was fantastic. All arrived in good time for the big day – many thanks for providing a truly unique gift.
Yours

Hi there
I just wanted to let you know that I received my bookends yesterday, and they are absolutely gorgeous! I love them! And such good quality……
There just was no ‘comma’ after ‘One Lord’, wasn’t sure if this was meant to be?
But all the same, they are perfect!
Special thanks to Ben for all your help!
Regards
Sharon

Hi,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful bookends you made for my twins’ christening. They are absolutely stunning. The engraving is immaculate and the quality of the oak is really special. Lots of people commented on them and asked where we got them from! I wasn’t expecting my six year old twins to appreciate them fully until they are older but they were really excited to see their own initials on them and they loved that they were a pair and couldn’t wait to set them up in their room with their books.
Many thanks again, they are perfect and will be treasured for a lifetime.
Kind regards
Cath
