Christmas gifts that get kept are usually the personal ones: something with a name, a family in-joke, or a picture of a place that matters. A personalized layered wooden scene does all three, and because it is made to order, it is genuinely one of a kind — no one else at the table will unwrap the same thing.
Ideas by who you are buying for
- Parents and grandparents. A Christmas village or snowy cabin with the family surname — “The Andersons · Christmas 2026” — becomes a decoration they bring out every December.
- A couple’s first Christmas. A winter cabin or love-birds scene with both names and the year.
- The reader, gardener or baker. A hobby scene with their name often lands better than a seasonal one, because it stays out all year. See book lovers, gardeners and cooks & musicians.
- Teachers, nurses and colleagues. A small 4–6 inch piece with a first name is a thoughtful end-of-term or secret-Santa gift.
- Someone missing a loved one this year. The first Christmas after a loss is hard. A cardinal or garden scene from Memorial & Remembrance is a gentle way to include that person in the season.

Wording that works at Christmas
- “The Millers · Christmas 2026”
- “Our First Christmas · Emma & James” (split over two lines)
- “Grandma’s Cabin”
- A first name only, for a hobby scene
Keep each line to roughly 12–15 characters. We print exactly what you type, so check the spelling of every name — especially when ordering several at once.
When to order for Christmas
Every piece is made after you order. Production takes 3–5 business days, then delivery takes 7–15 business days to the United States and 10–25 business days to most other countries. Carriers also slow down in December. As a rule of thumb:
- United States: order by late November for the most comfortable margin.
- Other countries: order by early November.
These are guidelines, not guarantees — if you are ordering close to the holidays, email us after ordering and we will tell you the expected dispatch date before production starts. Delivery details are on our shipping page.
Buying several?
Christmas lists are long. Buy 2 pieces and save 10%, or 3 or more and save 15%, applied automatically in the cart. Shipping is $5.99 per order and free on orders of $69 or more, so grouping gifts into one order saves on both.
Sending straight to the recipient
You can enter the recipient’s address at checkout and have the gift shipped directly to them — useful for family in another state or country. Each order gets a tracking link by email.
How each piece is made
Every Oakmira keepsake starts as flat wood board. It is laser-cut into three shaped layers, the artwork and your text are UV-printed onto the surface, and the layers are glued together into a stepped piece about 15 mm (just over half an inch) thick. Designs that look carved or painted are printed to look that way. Each piece is made to order in 3–5 business days, then shipped with tracking: 7–15 business days to the United States and 10–25 business days to most other countries.
Quick answers
Will I see a proof?
Not by default — your text goes into the layout shown in the product photos. If you want to check something first, email us right after ordering and we will hold production until you reply.
What if the name is spelled wrong?
We print exactly what you type. You can change your text free of charge until production starts, usually within 12 hours of ordering. If the printed text differs from what you typed, or the piece arrives damaged, email a photo within 30 days of delivery and we will remake it or refund you — see our refund policy.
Is there a discount for more than one?
Yes: buy 2 pieces and save 10%, or 3 or more and save 15%, applied automatically in the cart. Shipping is $5.99 per order and free on orders of $69 or more.
