Every piece is shipped nationwide with tracked courier to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with free UK delivery on orders over £75 and standard 3-5 working day turnaround. Whether you are shopping for newlyweds setting up a shared kitchen, a foodie friend moving into a first flat, or a parent who lives at the hob, personalised slate coasters and a bespoke recipe book cover all three.

Why Choose Personalised Kitchen Gifts?

Personalised kitchen gifts are the rare present that sits happily at the intersection of thoughtful and practical. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and a gift that lives there becomes part of the routine - reached for every morning with a mug of tea, pulled out every Sunday for the roast. A set of slate coasters with the family surname, or a recipe book personalised with a loved one's name on the cover - these are items that get used daily and mean something every time.

What makes personalised kitchen gifts stand out is their dual nature: they are both practical and sentimental. Slate coasters protect the table while showcasing a photo, house number or inside joke. A personalised recipe book turns loose scraps of paper and screenshotted WhatsApp recipes into one keepsake that can be handed down. These gifts work as hard as the people who love cooking.

Whether it is a housewarming, a wedding, Mother's Day or a birthday for someone who lives in the kitchen, personalised cooking gifts from Keep It What combine quality materials with meaningful personalisation. Every piece is made to order in the UK with genuine care.

Types of Personalised Kitchen Gifts

Engraved Slate Coasters

Natural slate coasters with felt backing, laser-engraved with names, house numbers, wedding dates or a short message. Sold in a pack of six - a classic housewarming or wedding gift that protects the new dining table for years.

Full-Colour Printed Slate Coasters

A pack of four natural slate coasters printed in full colour using UV technology, so you can add a photo, logo or colourful design rather than engraved text. Great for family photos on the kitchen table or a branded gift for a home bar.

Personalised Recipe Book

A bespoke recipe book personalised on the cover, with the option to reproduce handwritten recipes inside - upload photos of Nan's handwritten cards or Mum's scribbled notes and they are faithfully reproduced on the page. A thoughtful wedding, milestone birthday or memorial gift for anyone who loves to cook.

Kitchen Gifts for Every Occasion

Housewarming Gifts

Help them settle into their new home with personalised kitchen essentials. A set of slate coasters engraved with their new address or surname makes a thoughtful housewarming gift they will actually use from day one.

Wedding & Engagement

Celebrate the happy couple with slate coasters engraved with their new shared surname and wedding date, paired with a personalised recipe book for the meals they will cook together in their first shared kitchen.

Mother's Day & Father's Day

Show Mum or Dad some love with a personalised recipe book capturing their favourite family dishes, or a set of slate coasters engraved with a heartfelt message they will reach for every morning.

Birthday Gifts for Foodies

For the person who is always in the kitchen, a personalised recipe book or a set of full-colour slate coasters with a favourite photo makes a birthday gift they will use and display long after the candles are out.

Christmas Kitchen Gifts

Personalised kitchen gifts make brilliant Christmas presents. A set of slate coasters engraved with the family name, or a personalised recipe book under the tree - practical gifts that get unwrapped and used immediately for Christmas Day.

Retirement & Thank You

Celebrate their next chapter with a personalised kitchen gift they will enjoy during all that extra time at home. Add retirement dates, years of service or a heartfelt thank-you message to a coaster set or recipe book.

Finding the Perfect Kitchen Gift

For the Home Cook

Someone who spends their evenings cooking from scratch will appreciate a personalised recipe book - a proper home for the dishes they make on repeat, the ones scribbled on index cards and the ones pinched from their mum. Add a name or title to the cover for a gift that celebrates their passion.

For the Entertainer

If they love hosting dinner parties and having friends round, personalised slate coasters are the perfect gift. Engraved with names, house numbers or a witty message, they protect surfaces while adding personality to every gathering.

For the Newlyweds

Setting up a kitchen together is a milestone moment. Slate coasters engraved with the couple's shared surname and wedding date, paired with a personalised recipe book for the meals they will cook together, make a gift set that blends into their new life from day one.

For the Coffee & Tea Lover

Personalised slate coasters are the perfect companion for their morning brew. Engraved with their name, a favourite quote or a cheeky message about their caffeine habit, they will reach for their coaster every time they make a cuppa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the slate coasters heat resistant?

Yes, natural slate is naturally heat resistant and can withstand hot cups and mugs without damage. However, we recommend using them as intended for drinks rather than placing extremely hot items like pans directly onto them.

What can I engrave on the slate coasters?

You can add names, family names, dates, house numbers or short messages. Popular choices include "The [Family Name] Kitchen", wedding dates or a cheeky quote. Use our online design tool to preview your text before ordering.

What is the difference between the engraved and full-colour slate coasters?

The engraved slate coasters (pack of 6) are laser-etched with your text or design into natural slate for a classic monochrome look. The full-colour slate coaster set (pack of 4) uses UV printing to reproduce photos, logos and colour artwork directly onto the slate surface - ideal when you want a photo or colourful design rather than engraved text.

How should I care for my slate coasters?

Wipe your slate coasters with a damp cloth after use and allow them to air dry. Avoid soaking them in water or putting them in the dishwasher. The natural slate surface is durable and the engraving is permanent, so they'll last for years with basic care.

How long does personalisation take?

Most personalised kitchen gifts are ready within 3-5 business days. During peak seasons (Christmas, Mother's Day), please allow an extra 2-3 days. We offer free UK shipping on orders over £75.

Do you deliver personalised kitchen gifts across the UK?

Yes. Every personalised kitchen gift is made to order in our UK workshop and shipped nationwide with tracked courier to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Standard delivery is 3-5 working days after personalisation, free on orders over £75 and £4.95 below.

Are personalised kitchen gifts a good housewarming or new-home present?

Yes - personalised slate coasters and personalised recipe books are two of our most popular housewarming and new-home gifts. A set of slate coasters engraved with the family surname or new address protects the dining table from day one, and a personalised recipe book gives a new kitchen somewhere to collect the meals that will be cooked in it.

What personalisation options are available on kitchen gifts?

Our engraved slate coasters are laser-etched with text, names, dates or short messages. Our full-colour slate coasters use UV printing so you can add photos, logos or colour artwork. The personalised recipe book is customised on the cover with a name, title or dedication, and can reproduce handwritten recipes inside - upload a photo of the original recipe card and the handwriting is faithfully reproduced on the page. All personalisation is previewed online before you order.

Can personalised items be returned?

Due to their custom nature, personalised items cannot be returned unless there's a fault with the product or an error on our part. We provide full previews before production and quality-check every item. If you're not happy, please contact us and we'll make it right.
