Wooden gift – silhouette for crafting & decorating

The Advent wreath is up, but the windows are still waiting for something festive. And you're looking for decorations you can design yourself. That's exactly what this wooden gift is made for. It's a laser-cut gift silhouette in plywood, left natural and ready for your ideas. Painted, decorated or left plain – what ends up hanging, standing or lying there is one of a kind.

What changes for you

• You can design your Christmas decorations exactly to your taste. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, glue things onto it, apply a coat or oil it.
• You'll find the right size for every idea, from small table scatter to large window decorations. Heights range from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can craft in a relaxed way, even with children – because the laser-cut edges are smooth and need no sanding.
• You can cover larger projects without reordering, such as a nursery craft session or a shop window display. The shapes come singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a neatly made piece from our own production in Pößneck, made in Thuringia. It has the typical brown laser edge as a subtle outline.

Why this wooden gift makes a difference day to day

Homemade decorations always tell a little story. The painted silhouette in the window, the table scatter on the festive table or the lovingly decorated tag on a parcel feel more personal than anything bought off the shelf. With the gift shape, you bring exactly this warmth into your home. Calm, natural and as individual as your handwriting.

Material & finish

The shape is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that finely traces the outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. It feels good in your hand and is ready to use straight away. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paint, glue and oil adhere well. You decide how the finished piece looks. Wood is a purely natural material. Shade and grain vary, and small knots may occur. This isn't a flaw – it's what makes each piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden gift

Good to know about the gift

The German word ‘schenken’ (to give) originally meant ‘einschenken’ (to pour a drink). Anyone who gave someone a drink was showing them hospitality. This idea still lives on in every gift: a sign of care. That's why the shape suits more than just Christmas. It fits wherever you're giving joy, from birthdays to gift voucher tags.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Kept dry, the untreated plywood keeps its natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the shape outdoors, simply protect it with paint, varnish or oil. Choose whatever suits your design.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden gift or glue things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well. It's ideal for crafting, painting and decorating.

Why does the shape have a brown edge? The edge is created during laser cutting and is part of the cutting process. It finely traces the shape and also gives smooth edges.

Do all the shapes look exactly the same? The shape is identical, but the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are possible. That's what makes each piece one of a kind.

Is the shape suitable for outdoors? The wood is untreated and should be protected from constant moisture. For outdoor use, we recommend a coat of paint, varnish or oil.

A piece of plywood is only the start. What counts is the moment your own decoration hangs in the window. Christmas then feels a little more personal. Just choose your size and quantity – you design the rest.
