Burl & Plank: London Ontario Shops
Burl & Plank creates beautiful charcuterie boards, coat racks, beer flight paddles, and unique wedding guestbook alternatives. We personally love their charcuterie boards to give as a wedding gift because you can have a name added to the board. What we love most about these boards is that the name can be done in a really subtle way that doesn’t take away from the beauty of the wood. They also have the option of adding a full message or letter in someone’s handwriting. This would make a really beautiful memorial gift.

They have some great decor items that would look great in a nursery, cabin or anywhere that you need a need to add warmth to your space. They also have wooden initials that work great hung in a nursery or kid’s room. These make great baby shower gift ideas if you know the name of the new little one. Our personal favourite product of theirs is their maple leaf wall-mounted bottle opener. This would look great hanging in a garage, at the cottage, or anywhere that you need to open bottles. This makes a great gift for beer lovers!
