A personalised crate for every special milestone

Personalised crates and wine boxes for jubilees and milestones

Some moments call for more than a card: ten years married, twenty-five years at the company, a retirement after a full career. For such milestones you want a gift that carries the weight of the moment — and a personalised crate is surprisingly good at that.

Why a crate fits a milestone

A milestone is all about a story: names, a date, a period. Exactly the things that come out beautifully in an engraving. "Lisa & Tom — 10 years" or "Thank you for 25 years of dedication" on a sturdy wooden crate: it's a tribute you can hold, fill and keep.

Fill it with memories (or with something tasty)

For a wedding anniversary, fill the crate with a good bottle and photos of the past years. For a work jubilee, have colleagues each leave a personal message inside. And for a retirement? All the ingredients for the new chapter: a good book, seeds for the vegetable garden, a bottle to toast with.

Then its second life begins

Where flowers wilt, the crate gets a permanent spot: as a memory box, book chest or decoration with meaning. The engraving makes sure the story stays with it — even twenty years from now.

Tips for the perfect anniversary engraving

Keep it short and meaningful: names + a year or period always works. In doubt about the wording? Our engraving checklist gets you started. We engrave every crate with care in our workshop in Geetbets, and ordered before 6 pm means shipped the next working day — so you're ready in time for the celebration.
