More than a wooden spoon — it’s their face turned into line art and engraved into wood, in the busiest room of the house. Picture Mum turning over her spoon mid-stir and seeing someone she loves looking back at her. That’s the idea: an everyday object that quietly becomes a treasured one. ✨
Upload a favourite photo, we turn it into a clean line-art portrait — so it looks like art, not a printout — and engrave it onto the back of the spoon’s bowl. Add a name and a little phrase on the handle (think “ANN” + “the food explorer”) and it’s unmistakably theirs.
How it works — 3 easy steps
- 1. Add your name & text. Type the name / handle text in the box and watch the live preview update, so you can check it before you order.
- 2. Upload your photo. Add your photo with the upload button on this page — we’ll turn it into the line-art portrait. (Prefer to send it after? Just pop it in the “Message to seller” box or reply to your order email.)
- 3. We turn it into line art & engrave it. Your photo becomes a line-art portrait on the back of the bowl, and we post your spoon from Ireland.
What you get
- A natural beech wooden spoon, approx 30 cm
- Your photo, turned into a line-art portrait, engraved onto the back of the spoon head
- A name and/or short phrase engraved on the handle
- Made to order in Ireland
Make it yours
- Add a name and a little tagline on the handle — like “ANN, the food explorer”..
- It’s real beech, so the grain and tone vary — no two spoons are the same.
Your photo
For the best result, upload a clear, well-lit close-up of the face, pet or subject. Head-and-shoulders shots with good contrast turn into the crispest line art. Not sure your photo will work? Just message us and we’ll check before we start.
Care & good to know
- Hand wash & dry only — please don’t leave it soaking or air-drying.
- Not dishwasher safe — the heat and detergents damage real wood and the engraving.
- Wipe gently and skip abrasive scrubbers, so the portrait stays crisp.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add my photo?
Right here on the page — use the upload button and choose your photo before you check out. Prefer to send it later? No problem: pop it in the “Message to seller” box or reply to your order confirmation email, and we’ll take it from there. ✨
What kind of photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo with the face, pet or subject nice and sharp works beautifully. Head-and-shoulders shots with good contrast are ideal — they help capture the detail when your image is turned into line art. Don’t worry about it being perfect — if we think a photo won’t engrave well, we’ll message you before we start.
What do I put in the name / text box?
Pop in the name and/or short phrase you’d like engraved on the handle — like a name plus a little tagline such as “the food explorer.” You’ll see a live preview as you type, so you can check the spelling before ordering.
How long does it take?
Each spoon is made to order here in Ireland, so it isn’t a shelf item. Because it’s made to order and we wait for your photo, please allow a little extra time versus a stock product. If you need it for a specific date, just tell us and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Will my spoon look exactly like the photo?
The engraving is your photo turned into a line-art style — so the likeness is yours, but the finish is a clean, line-art portrait rather than a printed photo. And because it’s real beech, the natural grain and tone vary, so no two are identical.
How do I care for it so the engraving lasts?
Hand wash and dry only — don’t leave it soaking or air-drying, and it’s not dishwasher safe. Wipe gently and skip abrasive scrubbers so the portrait stays crisp. 💛
