A photograph of him holding his child, the year he became Dad, and a place for the things he uses every day.

I make this wooden docking station from solid wood and personalize it with a watercolor-style portrait created from your photo. I then UV print the finished design directly onto the wood, together with your chosen words.

I love working with these family photographs. Sometimes it is a picture from those first days together; sometimes it is a more recent moment that shows just how much the children have grown.

A PERSONALIZED GIFT FOR DAD

The example pairs a father-and-child portrait with “DAD est. 2022.” You can choose the year he became a dad, add his name, or include a short message from the children.

You can also use a photograph with more than one child or a favorite family picture. Your photo and your words will make the design his own.

The portrait is a watercolor-style design UV printed directly onto the wood, rather than an original hand-painted watercolor.

FOR CHRISTMAS OR FATHER’S DAY

If you are looking for a Christmas gift for Dad, a photograph he treasures is a lovely place to begin. It gives him something personal to keep close, with a useful place for his everyday belongings.

It also makes a thoughtful Father’s Day gift, especially for a first Father’s Day, or a birthday present from the children. I like the idea of marking the year he became Dad with something he can use as the years go by.

A PLACE FOR HIS EVERYDAY THINGS

This nightstand organizer has space for phones, watches, glasses, and keys, with storage at the back for a wallet, passport, or other small belongings.

He can keep it beside his bed or use it as a desk organizer, with a family memory among the familiar things he reaches for each morning.

HOW TO PERSONALIZE

1. Choose your preferred wood color and the photo personalization option.

2. Upload the photograph you would like me to use.

3. Enter your chosen wording and year, such as “DAD est. 2022,” or your own short message.

4. Include your preferred font style for the text and any design instructions.

Please send a clear, high-resolution photograph with faces in focus and fully visible. A close-up or waist-up picture works well.

Check the spelling and year carefully before ordering. If you would like help choosing a photo, you are welcome to contact me.

OTHER PERSONALIZATION OPTIONS

I can also personalize the docking station with an engraved name, initials, a phrase, or a logo.

For an initial together with a name, the lettering is part of the design and cannot be changed. For a name only or a phrase, you can choose your preferred font style.

PLEASE NOTE

The photo, wording, and year shown are examples. Your docking station will be personalized using the details you provide.

Natural wood grain and finish vary slightly from piece to piece. Printed colors may also look different from those on your screen.

Phones, watches, glasses, keys, wallets, passports, charging cables, chargers, and other styling accessories are not included.

Thank you for letting me make something personal for your family. I hope it becomes a familiar part of his day, with a memory he is always happy to see.
