Missouri Gifts

The southeastern bootheel is the detail people look for in a Missouri outline, and it survives being shrunk down to ornament size. Every piece here starts as a blank. The blanks are stocked, the Missouri design goes on after you order, and what ships was made for that order rather than pulled off a shelf.

As Missouri gifts go, these are the ones that get used rather than shelved.

Slate and Cork Coasters

The Missouri coaster sets are the anchor of the collection. Slate and cork both come as sets of four, in round or square, and both carry the same artwork, so the decision is about the surface rather than the design.

The slate runs four inches and a quarter inch thick. Its edges are chiseled rather than sawn, so every coaster in a set has its own profile, and four foam pads underneath stop the stone dragging across a table. Cork is 3/16 inch and far lighter, which makes it the better desk, camper or boat option.

The Missouri Designs

The artwork runs from a clean state outline to the name in brush lettering, a script signature, MO initials, a word cloud, a floral fill, and HOME with Missouri standing in for the O. Order one design across the whole set or mix the four.

A note before you order: hearts and stars set into the state shape are decorative. They do not mark a specific place.

Slate and Wood Ornaments

Missouri ornaments come in slate and in wood, the wood ones with a twine hanger already tied. The state shape reads well at ornament scale, and the Merry Christmas From Missouri versions do the work of a card and a gift at once.

For someone who moved away, an ornament tends to be the easiest thing to send and the easiest thing to keep.

Serving and Cheese Boards

Bamboo, seventeen inches by five and a quarter. The shape is built for a wine bottle and a wedge of cheese, which also makes it a charcuterie plank and a bar tray. The Missouri artwork sits on one face and the other stays usable.

This is what to send for a wedding or a housewarming when a coaster set feels too small.

Missouri City Skylines

Plenty of people are homesick for a city rather than a state. Skylines in the collection include St. Louis and Kansas City, each engraved on slate ornaments, wood ornaments and bamboo boards.

For someone who left a specific place, the skyline lands harder than an outline of Missouri ever will.

Tumblers, Wall Art and More

The Missouri artwork is not limited to coasters and ornaments. Tumblers and wall art are joining the collection, and full color UV printing opens up designs the laser cannot do on its own. If you want a Missouri piece in a format you do not see here yet, it is worth checking back.

Personalized Missouri Gifts

Custom text is being added across the range, so a name, a date, a street or a family line can go on alongside the Missouri design. That turns a coaster set into a wedding gift with the date on it, or an ornament into a record of the year someone moved.

Missouri Gifts by Occasion

A coaster set covers a housewarming or a closing gift without guessing at anyone's taste. The bamboo board suits a wedding, an anniversary or a host who actually cooks. Ornaments handle Christmas, a first apartment, a graduation move. A set of four is a fair thank-you for the neighbor who watched your dog.

For someone who moved away, their city is usually the safer bet. For someone still in the state, the outline designs read as pride rather than nostalgia.

How These Are Made

Two methods run in the workshop. Laser engraving cuts the design into the material itself, so on slate it comes up pale against dark stone and on bamboo it darkens the grain, with no layer on top to chip or wash away. UV printing lays down full color, for artwork that needs color to do its job.

Because nothing is decorated in advance, turnaround runs one to three business days. Sets ship in a clear bag rather than retail packaging.
