Wooden household items

This category includes practical wooden everyday helpers and home accessories – such as door stops/door wedges, natural bark door stops, fly swatters, back scratchers, glasses holders, boot jacks, and selected home items like a sewing box, a chalk board or wall crosses.

You’ll find classic door wedges (e.g., oiled oak or ash) as well as decorative natural alder door stops with bark (e.g., heart, tree, fir, owl shapes). Some versions include a cord/hemp cord for easy handling.

Wood is generally gentle on floors. For very delicate surfaces (e.g., oiled parquet), make sure no grit/sand sticks to the stop. Tip: wipe it briefly, or use a small felt pad/protective layer if needed.

The cord makes it easy to pick up, reposition, or hang/store the door stop – handy when doors are opened and closed frequently.

Natural bark models have a rustic look – bark and grain make each piece unique. Shape and wood structure may vary slightly as this is a natural material.

The combination of a wooden handle (e.g., beech) and a synthetic-leather swatting part provides a flexible, robust surface. It’s durable and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.

Yes – you’ll find variants with funny sayings and engraved/printed designs, which also makes them great small gifts.

There are face-shaped glasses holders made from oiled oak and from oiled cherry wood. Oak typically looks bolder and very robust, while cherry often has a warmer tone – it’s mainly a style preference.

A boot jack helps you take off boots comfortably without pulling or twisting. The category includes versions made from beech (some with a motif/print) and ergonomic models made from oiled ash.

Usually a slightly damp cloth is enough. Don’t soak wood and let it dry well afterwards. Oiled surfaces can be refreshed with occasional re-oiling; lacquered surfaces are especially easy to wipe clean.

Door wedges/door stops and boot jacks are great everyday helpers. For storage and organization, a wooden sewing box can be useful. For notes in the hallway or kitchen, a chalk board can also be a nice option (model dependent).

Many items are already popular gift ideas thanks to their sayings/designs. If you need personalization (name/logo), it’s best to send a quick request – depending on the item, engraving or printing may be possible.
