My name is Francine Hatton and I am the owner and artist behind Wooden it be Lovely. I work from home in Manchester, UK designing and creating beautiful and affordable wooden gifts.
Having always been creative, the inspiration behind Wooden it be Lovely came from being a busy and mum of three and between helping the children with school and fun arts and crafts projects and finding that as a family we have lots birthday parties and special occasions to attend, always wanting to give the perfect gift evertytime, I decided that I should use my creativity and start to make my own gifts that were not only beautifully unique and handcrafted, but would last forever. So, with over 15 years of experience designing and creating gifts for family and friends, I decided to start my own business creating wooden gifts and thus Wooden it be Lovely was born.
I set up my business over 10 years ago selling personalised keepsake boxes and small trinket boxes to order and as the demand for my gifts quickly grew, I quickly developed my products and my range vastly. Now that my kids are older, I have more time to dedicate to my work and we have now installed a laser machine, and various printing and press machines to enable us to create new and exciting things everyday. We are a family run business and now that we are creating more we also have a website www.ohwoodenitbelovely.co.uk
A few years ago I stumbled across Etsy and thought it was such a fantastic place for people to buy handmade, unique items and immediately set up my shop. However, as my business grew I took a break from Etsy but then when realised what I was missing out on, I recently reopened my shop....and I’m so glad I did! I love Etsy and I’m so glad to be a part of it again! I’m loving being able to share my gifts with such wonderful Etsy customers!🥰
I am lucky that I have help from family members and I am now able to specialise in designing and creating perfect unique and personalised gifts which are hand crafted, laser cut, engraved and hand painted.
We also take care of the gift wrapping and packaging too so sending gifts means you won’t have the hassle of sourcing stationary or joining the post office queue.📦📮
You can't buy love but you can buy handmade and and that's kind of the same thing 😊
Thank you for popping by and I hope we can help you choose the perfect gift.💕
