Frequently asked questions
How do you find the meaning of my surname?
We research each name individually using etymological references before engraving. If a surname is very rare or obscure, we will contact you before cutting.
Can I order a set for a family?
Yes — add the quantity you need and enter the surname once. All coasters in an order carry the same name unless you contact us to discuss multiple names.
Is this suitable as a wedding gift?
Yes. A single coaster or a set of four for the couple's new surname makes a distinctive and lasting gift.

Materials & Care
Materials & Care
Our products are made from natural materials, including:
• Oak veneered MDF – ideal for indoor use, not suitable for damp or outdoor environments
• Bamboo – more water resistant and suitable for items like name badges, but lightweight and not recommended for outdoor signage in windy conditions
To ensure longevity, we recommend keeping all items dry and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.
