Housewarming gifts are usually wine and a candle
Both are gone by the end of the month. The house will be theirs for years.
A board engraved with their name and the year they moved in becomes part of the kitchen from day one.
"The Smiths, Est. 2026"
Surname and year is the classic, and it reads well across the middle of the flag. A house name or the street works too. The letters stay in natural bamboo against the engraved Union Jack.
New kitchens still get the old chopping board
New homeowners spend their money on sofas and paint. The chopping board is usually the tired one from the flat. This swaps it for something 40 by 24cm and 1.8cm thick that they'll be happy to leave out.
Add a hammer for the first weekend of DIY
Every new home starts with pictures to hang and flat-pack to build. Our engraved hammer is a quality branded hammer with their name, or a line of your choice, on it. Add it to the board and 15% comes off both.
It hangs up when it isn't working
There's a hanging hole in the top corner, and the back is plain with a juice groove for chopping. So it can be decoration on the wall one minute and a tool on the worktop the next.
Send it straight to the new address
Use their new address at checkout and we'll post it within 2 to 3 working days. The 'With Love' tag arrives blank, so put your message in the engraving or add a note to the order.

Why ours, not a printed one
Plenty of shops sell "personalised" boards. Here's where ours differ.
| Chompboards | Typical personalised gift | |
|---|---|---|
| Their name | Engraved into the bamboo, permanent | Often printed, and fades with washing |
| Size | 40 x 24cm, a proper chopping board | Often a small decorative plaque |
| Made by | Jason and Kate in Hampshire | Often mass-produced |
| Before we engrave | We check the wording first | What you type is what you get |

Questions we get asked
What should we put on a housewarming board?
The surname and the year they moved in is a safe bet, like 'The Smiths, est. 2026'. A house name or street works too. Keep it short and it engraves bigger and bolder.
Where does the text go on the Union Jack board?
Across the middle bar of the flag. We leave the letters unengraved, so they show up in natural bamboo against the engraved flag. Leave the box blank and you get the flag on its own.
How does the 15% set offer work?
Pick your board, then add the second piece on this page. 15% comes off both, and the code is applied for you at checkout. Each piece gets its own free engraving.
What can you engrave on the hammer?
A name or a short line. Our usual suggestions are 'It's Hammer Time!' and 'Having A Smashing Time', but anything short works. We only use quality branded hammers, and each one comes with a 'With Love' gift tag.
Can I send it straight to them?
Yes. Put their address as the delivery address at checkout. The 'With Love' gift tag arrives blank for writing on, so if you're sending it direct, put your message in the engraving or add a note to your order.
