Nothing needs a battery, none of it is a novelty, and none of it is designed to end up in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBelow, six people who are difficult to buy for, and what tends to work – from this page and from the rest of the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you give someone who travels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wooden-world-maps\"\u003ewooden world map\u003c\/a\u003e and a set of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/map-accessories\"\u003eflag pins\u003c\/a\u003e is the gift that keeps arriving. The map goes on the wall once; the pins go in one at a time, for years, every time they come back from somewhere. There are 291 flags on the printed cards, each named underneath, in sections for the countries of the world, the US states, the Canadian provinces and the Australian states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom this page, the Travel notebook: a compass rose engraved on warm brown birch with an arrow through it, the journey drawn around it – an aircraft, mountains, two sailing boats – and a hundred lined, dated sheets inside for where they went and when. Its sketchbook twin puts the same cover over blank watercolour paper, which takes tickets and pressed things as easily as drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you give someone who has just moved?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardest gift of all, because they have everything except things on the walls. A new flat has empty plaster and no time to think about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/framed-panels\"\u003eframed map panel\u003c\/a\u003e solves that with one fixing in a few minutes, no tape, and if they are renting it comes down cleanly and moves with them. The smaller flat maps work in a hallway, which is the wall people forget when they move in and notice for years afterwards. And the bottle you bring to the housewarming goes in one of our wooden boxes, which stays on the kitchen shelf after the cork comes out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you give someone who drinks wine seriously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is that the obvious gift is a bottle, and their bottles are better than yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wine-maps\"\u003ewine map\u003c\/a\u003e divides France or Italy by wine region, with the vineyards raised on the wood, and goes in a dining room, a kitchen or beside a cellar door. Or, if you are giving a bottle anyway, one of our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wine-boxes\"\u003eboxes\u003c\/a\u003e carries it and outlasts it, and each comes with a flat oval holder that sits on the neck of the bottle and carries two glasses. One of them has a round hole through its front inside a wreath of vine leaves, a perch below it and three birds on a branch at the foot: empty the bottle, hang the box in a tree, and it spends the rest of its life as a nesting box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you give someone who draws or writes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWooden covers on a replaceable paper block. The block is consumable and the cover is not, which turns a notebook from stationery into an object that outlasts several of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wooden-notebooks\"\u003enotebooks\u003c\/a\u003e carry a hundred lined sheets, each headed with a date line; the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wooden-sketchbooks\"\u003esketchbooks\u003c\/a\u003e carry blank paper, watercolour stock on most. Both open on rings, so pages lie completely flat and come out cleanly, and the rigid cover doubles as something to press on – drawing on a knee or standing up is possible with a board behind the paper and awkward without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you give someone who makes things?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/creative-kits\"\u003ecarving kit\u003c\/a\u003e contains a real knife, wood, a pattern and everything needed to finish, so there is no trip to three shops before anything starts.

It is whether the object is unfamiliar enough to be worth their attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy give wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it lasts, which sounds like a slogan and is really an argument about waste. A notebook cover outlives a dozen blocks. A wine box outlives the bottle and usually several after it. A map put up in a rented flat comes down and goes up again somewhere else. None of it is designed to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat arrives ready to give?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flag pins, on printed cards in a kraft sleeve with a world map on the cover.
