For Christmas, choose the whisky set for a known whisky drinker, the beer set for a known beer drinker, and standalone slate coasters when you do not know the recipient's drink preference. The Christmas-specific part is the personalisation: a family name, first Christmas, year or short festive message can make an everyday bar gift feel tied to a tradition.
Choose the Product by Drink Preference
- Whisky: the Personalised Whisky Glass & Slate Coaster Set comes as 1, 2 or 4 matching glass-and-coaster pairs.
- Beer: the Personalised Beer Glass & Slate Coaster Set comes as 1, 2 or 4 matching pairs.
- Unknown or mixed preference: the Personalised Slate Coaster Set is available in 2, 4, 6 or 8 coasters and works under glasses, mugs and bottles.

Christmas Personalisation That Stays Useful
Keep the engraving short enough to work beyond one Christmas dinner. Good structures include:
- [Family name] — Christmas [Year]
- [Name] — First Christmas in Our New Home
- [Name] — Cheers to Christmas
- Est. [Year] — Family Tradition
A year is often more reusable than a full date unless the exact day has personal meaning.
For Families, Hosts and Secret Santa
If you know one person's drink preference, a matching glass-and-coaster pair is the direct choice. If you are buying for a household, host or Secret Santa recipient whose preference is uncertain, slate coasters avoid guessing. Standard coaster personalisation is organised by pairs of two: both coasters in one pair receive the same text, while different pairs can carry different wording.
Plan the Design Proof Before Christmas
All three products are made to order with precision laser engraving in our atelier in Antwerp. A digital Design Proof is sent by email before engraving, so names, dates, punctuation and layout can be checked before production. Orders are delivered within 3–5 business days; allow enough time to review the proof promptly rather than leaving personalised ordering to the last moment.
Before You Approve
- Check every name and spelling.
- Use a year or date only when it is correct.
- Keep the message short enough for the available engraving area.
- For multiple pairs, confirm which wording belongs to which pair.
