Manufacturer’s Description: Our Personalised Wooden Cheese Board Set is fantastic gift for the kitchen and a great little surprise to pull out at dinner parties and impress your guests with. It’s made from attractive Hevea wood that’s long lasting, hard-wearing and easy to wipe down after it’s been used.

The lid of the cheese board effortlessly slides out to reveal a storage compartment for three stainless steel knives with wooden handles. Included in the set are a Stilton knife, a cheese fork and a Cheddar knife. To top off this sophisticated gift your personalised message can be engraved onto the lid. There’s room for one line on the top and one on the bottom, 25 characters per line. This cheese board is ideal for any connoisseur of fine cheeses.

Review: When Getting Personal contacted me to see if I would like to review any of their Father’s Day Gifts range, it wasn’t hard for me to narrow it down to one of their engraved cheeseboards. I am married to a cheese addict, and I don’t mean dodgy films and disco songs. My husband will quite often disappear into the kitchen 10 minutes before bedtime to make himself a slice of cheese on toast before heading to bed!

This particular cheeseboard allows you to have two lines of text, with a fairly generous amount of characters on each line. I was able to fit in “Love from” and both the girls’ names in the bottom line which I’ve had problems with in the past on personalised products.

The text is well engraved, with nice clean lines, and very easy to read. The two little engraved wedges of cheese make a cute touch too, whilst doing a good job of separating the two lines of text.

As for the cheeseboard itself, it feels very well made, using an extremely tactile wood. It slides open easily to reveal the hidden compartment inside, which holds the tools to slice and stab your cheese. These are lovely too; with smooth wooden handles to match the board. The stainless steel blades are sharp and cut through the cheese easily.

Getting Personal did a great job with the order; it arrived quickly and was very well packaged. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again, and recommend them to friends.

I think that £19.99 is quite a reasonable price for this gift, especially as you are getting the personalisation as well. James is certainly delighted with it!

5 stars.

As well as this cheeseboard, Getting Personal have some lovely products in their Father’s Day range. Here are a few of my favourites:
