for dapper dads
for culinary dads
For Dads who love a bowl of porridge of a morning.
A spurtle’s a traditional Scottish stirring stick and, unlike a wooden spoon, because of its rounded end it’s easy to work into the corners and edges of pots. Personalise yours with a name or initials.

for practical dads
If your father doesn’t need more things why not give him a memorable experience? If you’re local to Reading choose a date (sometime in the future obviously) and book either a 2 hour taster session or a whole day of beginner’s wood turning. You can even come with him and create some wonderful memories are well as wooden items.
book a woodturning session
Do you know someone who loves wood or is interested in wood turning? Would you like to give someone the gift of a unique experience and a new skill and maybe even come along yourself? Then Liz’s absolute beginners wood turning sessions are for you.
a last minute gift
The ideal last minute gift as you can send it instantly. Specify the exact amount and send to any email address. It’s also a wonderfully environmental gift option.
Woodturning Lesson E-Card
A woodturning lesson e-card’s the perfect solution for that tricky to buy for person. It can not only be used for woodturning courses but also all of our handmade wooden products. It’s also a great last minute gift since it can be emailed to your recipient instantly. It also makes a really great eco friendly gift because, unlike a physical card, there’s no waste generated and every one purchased plants a tree with our partners Ecologi.
Giving a gift card means double the fun. Not only does your recipient get something they really love, they also get the enjoyment of shopping for it themselves.
Please read the instructions below on how to purchase and use Love HeartWood e-cards. Email direct to your recipient or print it out to put into a card of your choice.
every gift gives back to the planet
Any item bought from Love HeartWood also plants a tree. If you’d like to match my donation and add a tree of your own you can. Simply add 40p into the ‘plant a tree’ box at checkout.
i hope my selection of wooden fathers day gifts have inspired you to say a big sustainable thank you to your dad.
however you’re celebrating I wish you and your dad a very happy father’s day!
