Welcome to Woodlands Home & Gifts

Hi, I’m Steve - owner, maker, and the hands behind Woodlands Home & Gifts.

Woodworking began as a hobby years ago when I made a few candle holders as Christmas gifts for family. What started as a small creative outlet quickly became something much more - a real passion for designing and crafting beautiful, functional wooden pieces that people can treasure.

Each item in the Woodlands collection is handmade by me in my Yorkshire workshop using carefully selected, sustainable or reclaimed wood. Whether it’s a hand-turned bowl, a rustic candle holder, or a bespoke gift, every piece is created with patience, precision, and pride. 

My inspiration comes from nature - woodland walks, time outdoors, and the natural beauty of the materials themselves. That connection to the outdoors runs through everything I make, and I aim for each piece to bring a sense of warmth, craftsmanship, and character into your home.

Alongside my wooden creations, I also stock a small collection of sea glass jewellery, handmade by a talented local crafter. These unique pieces pair perfectly with the natural feel of Woodlands and make beautiful, thoughtful gifts.

Thanks so much for being here and supporting small, handmade businesses. It means a lot to know something I’ve made - or chosen - becomes part of your space or your story.

 Steve
