Eight nights can mean eight small gifts, or seven small ones and one that matters. This page is arranged that way: small things first, then the pieces made around one person.
We are a small workshop in Encinitas, California. Everything here is cut, engraved, printed and assembled by us.
01
Stone for the table
Small gifts for the early nights.
Natural slate, laser engraved. Every tile is a little different in color and edge, which is the point. Coasters with your own words or drawing, and sets we designed ourselves.
Slate coasters, your design
San Diego elevation lines on slate
02
Things that grow
For a windowsill.
3D printed planters for a shelf or a patio, and living plants to go in them.
Octopus planters $18.99
Candy cane bamboo
03
Made from your photo
The one that matters.
Send us a picture, a name or a date and we make the piece around it. A photo is engraved into natural slate, where the stone turns pale wherever the laser touches it; a pet is redrawn and built up in layers of wood. Nothing here exists until you order it, so no two are the same.
Your photo on slate
Personalized cribbage board
04
Layers of wood
For the home.
Six to eleven layers of basswood, laser cut, stained or painted one at a time and stacked, so each piece has real depth and throws its own shadows.
Breaking wave $89
Mystic Mountain, eleven layers
Sea turtle
05
One number, always on
For the sports fan, the investor or the kid with a channel.
Small Wi-Fi screens that show the one thing someone keeps opening an app for: their team, the markets, a follower count. We assemble, load and test each one here, on a stand we 3D print. No app and no subscription.

Personalized pieces are made after you order, so give us extra time before a holiday. If you need something by a date, email [email protected] and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
