The Map Box provides a proper place to store your messy OS Maps. It is designed to take around 20 of the normal paper Ordnance Survey maps, and so will also suit other maps in a similar format. We engrave a map onto the front of the box, which is where it gets interesting for you! You can choose from our Map Box Collection of existing map designs. Or you can Design your own Map Box which allows you to move a map around and choose your own place to feature. On the lid of the Map Box is a simple compass design. You also have the option to add some text of your own, which is added just underneath the compass.

Thanks to all at ‘From The Workshop’ for the Map Box received today.
The workmanship is beautiful, as is the map image. We are very pleased with it and the swift delivery.
We are sure the recipients of this Christmas gift will be equally delighted.

Fantastic product – ideal for the person I was wanting the gift for! Love the plywood “grain”. Richard was really communicative and I am sure I wasn’t that easy to deal with – was a really simple and great process to worth through with him.

I too ordered a personalised map box as a gift for my husband! I agree that ordering it was simple, friendly and efficient and the box was very well packaged. It is beautifully made and looks great.

This is such a brilliant, yet quirky idea. I ordered a personalised map box for my husband as a gift and he loves it. The box is really well made and the OS maps fit in perfectly. The whole process was effortless and the box was delivered both well packaged and quickly. A really clever idea for anyone, particularly if the recipient loves the outdoors and where it is challenging to find suitable gifts. Definitely a conversation point when friends eye it. Highly recommend these boxes.

I am absolutely delighted with my map box. The quality and craftsmanship are superb, the ordering and customising process was easy and stress-free and delivery was super fast. The end product is a beautiful and functional box which has easily swallowed 16 OS maps and is a lovely reminder of a favourite area of NW Scotland. Thank you, Richard.

This is the most beautiful box and useful too. I needed it quite quickly and spoke to Richard who was extremely helpful and sent it within a few days. It was to hold a personalised map for our son and his wife’s first (paper) wedding anniversary and they were thrilled. It is already in use holding several maps! Beautifully made and very special with the chosen section of map on the front. Will order again if an opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

I have always been interested in maps; I did a thesis in the early 1960’s on the development of cartography from Speed to the present day. so when I saw an advert for the boxes in Country Living I ordered a map box with the map centred on the farm in which we spent our honeymoon in the Lake District 45 years ago. I was absolutely delighted with the reproduction of the map and the quality of the box, all done and delivered in less than a week. That was soon filled! I have now ordered another box with the map centred on our village in Shropshire and The Wrekin Hill. It arrived yesterday and is an absolute delight.
The boxes are a pleasure to handle, true craftsmanship, and beautifully finished.
Do not hesitate to buy one, you will love it.

My husband and I are delighted with the box. The finished product is beautiful and has already become one of his prized possessions. There can be no excuse now for not finding his maps. I suspect there may be many more purchases in the future now that I know what a top quality product this is. Thank you.
