Vermont Gifts

Vermont is narrow and tall, and natural slate is about as Vermont a surface as a coaster gets. Every piece here starts as a blank. The blanks are stocked, the Vermont design goes on after you order, and what ships was made for that order rather than pulled off a shelf.

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

Slate and Cork Coasters

Both materials come as sets of four in round or square, and the Vermont artwork is shared across them. Pick the surface that suits the room.

Slate is four inches across and a quarter inch thick, with edges chiseled by hand rather than cut. No two break the same way, which is the appeal. Four foam pads on the underside keep the stone off a finished table. Cork is thinner at 3/16 inch and much lighter, which suits a desk or a coffee table better than a bar.

The Vermont Designs

Designs include the state outline on its own, brush lettering and script versions of the name, VT initials, a word cloud, a floral fill, and lettering lockups that use the state shape as a letter. Match all four coasters or mix them.

Worth stating outright, since it gets asked: the heart and star placements inside the shape are decorative. They are not marking a city.

Slate and Wood Ornaments

The ornaments come two ways, slate and wood, with a twine hanger on the wood. Merry Christmas From Vermont versions exist in both, which saves you writing a card.

If you are sending something to family who left the state, this is usually where people land first.

Serving and Cheese Boards

The bamboo board measures seventeen by five and a quarter inches. That long, narrow cut makes it a cheese board, a charcuterie plank or a serving tray, depending on the night. One face carries the Vermont design, the other is a working surface.

It is the piece people reach for when they want a Vermont gift that gets used rather than displayed. If you came here looking for a Vermont cutting board, this is the piece.

Tumblers, Wall Art and More

The Vermont 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 Vermont piece in a format you do not see here yet, it is worth checking back.

Personalized Vermont 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 Vermont 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.

Vermont 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, the state shape is the thing they miss seeing on a shelf. For someone still in the state, the outline designs read as pride rather than nostalgia.

How These Are Made

Designs go on one of two ways. The laser cuts into the material, so nothing sits on top to peel or scrub off, and the mark reads pale on slate and darker on bamboo. The UV printer lays down full color where the artwork calls for it.

Either way the piece is made after the order arrives, so current turnaround is one to three business days. Sets ship in a clear bag with no retail packaging.
