I’ve bought two of these now, one for a 40th birthday present and one as a wedding present for a couple who wanted maps of Snowdon. They’ve both been truly appreciated, and admired. Delivered promptly too. Beautiful gifts.

It is really great and I’m quite sure my dad will love it. A really unique and unusual gift.

I have recently received my map box and just had to let you know how truly delighted I am with it. The quality of the box and the engraving is fantastic. I love the tactile nature of the sketch map in particular. The box will have pride of place in our campervan as we embark on planned trips around Scotland next year and will house our collection of vintage cloth maps.
I will definitely be ordering an A4 box soon.

My map box arrived much sooner than expected, and it’s a lovely bit of kit. I couldn’t quite believe that OS don’t sell a branded map box themselves, but in the end I’m glad that they don’t as this wooden one is much nicer.

Ordered personalised map and A4 file boxes as gifts for Father’s Day – these are so well made, real pieces of art…and smell lovely too. Staff at From the Workshop were really helpful, going above and beyond to make sure the gifts got here in time. Really pleased with these unique and useful items.

I ordered a Map Box for my dad’s 70th birthday, and it has just arrived (turnaround time 7 days brilliant) and I am so pleased with it. Thank you.
Lovely finish to the box, so well made. And thankfully I got the map positioning right on your website – he is going to be chuffed.
Finally, well done to whoever packed it. Fits the box perfectly and very well wrapped and presented. In fact I will be using the same wrapping to send it on.
Thank you so much and I will definitely recommend you! 🙂

We have just received our mapbox in super quick time
We ordered it at The Country Living Show in Harrogate. The service there was excellent. The map of Spain was very quickly found and a very appropriate quote for the lud.
The box is a perfect gift for Christmas.
Thank you all very much.

Ordered a map box at country living fair which arrived really quickly, it is so beautiful, I can’t wait until my husband opens it at Christmas! I will be ordering more in the future and would recommend to anyone, delighted with the product and service and very helpful staff, the web to design your own box is really easy to use too. Thanks so much.

Ordered two personalised map boxes while at Harrogate Country Living, staff were very helpful, and the order arrived quickly. Delighted with the map boxes as I am sure my husband and father in law will be on Christmas morning.

I have just received my first order from you – a map box for my son’s Christmas present. I am absolutely delighted with it, as I am sure he will be too.

Thank you so much for the swift completion of this order. I will be recommending you to others.

Thank you, my order arrived this morning. Having bought one last year for my husbands birthday, this one is for my sons Christmas. Good to see it is still the same great quality. The fast delivery surprised me too. Thanks again.

Wow your beautiful box has just arrived and its wonderful. The smell of the wood is fantastic and having the map of our neck of the woods and area my husband walks is perfect. Want to give it to him now but its for Xmas.
Thank you so much for the initials too, the perfect touch. I will order more

I bought the Map Box as a present for friends who are avid walkers and have their OS maps just loose on the bookcase. When it was delivered I opened the packaging and removed the invoice, the actual box was well wrapped so I left it and just gifted wrapped it. When my friends opened it after their party they were absolutely delighted with the Map Box and sent me a photo and I must say it looked absolutely stunning, with a map of the Peak District (one of their favourite places) and the engraving finished it off. Great value for money, superb present, excellent delivery and service and will definitely be using this company again.

Love the map box you made – it’s a gift for my brother and shows areas of the Lakes where we’ve walked and stayed over many years – it’s practical as well as a reminder of great times spent with family and friends.

Beautifully made, attractive and practical storage box for maps. Ideal present for the serious walker and map user. Bought as a present and my husband absolutely loves it.

We ordered our map box from you at sharrow vale market, couldn’t be more pleased with it. A local map area on it from the dark peak that means something to us. A beautiful addition to our new home!

I bought a map box for my Dad for Christmas last year. He was very pleased with it. There was an error on one of the maps, however this was quickly resolved and we were sent a second box. We now have two boxes, so thank you!

I ordered the map box for a gift, the delivery was very fast and I am really pleased with the product, I think the gift will be really appreciated and would recommend both The Workshop and map box.

I bought one of your map boxes for my husband’s 70th birthday as he leaves his maps everywhere! It is beautiful and he is thrilled with it. Top quality and with a local map on the front and his initials too.
Diane Williams says:

The box is just brilliant! Perfect present for my map obsessed son-in-laws 40th birthday! Very efficiently produced in time for the birthday (despite the fact that they were moving premises) and also dealt extremely well with slight mix-up on delivery. Very grateful.

Just received a Map Box no.9207 for my 66th birthday from my wife, daughter and grandchildren after a chance remark when advert spotted in Country Walking. It has the Seven Sisters sheet clearly engraved on it, we have walked here many times, and now contains my (our) OS maps of the whole of Sussex, South Downs Way and surrounding areas. A beautiful, practical piece of furniture which will hold so many memories just looking at the box and maps inside.
My wife was extremely impressed (not easy to do) by the member of staff who dealt with her call and order and we are both extremely pleased by the look, build, and oiled finish.

Hi Nicola,
Thanks for your interest! Yes we would love to produce something for areas like the Scottish Highlands. Most likely it will be a personalise-able system so you can have a wall hanging 3D map. I’ll be in touch with you as we make further developments.
Thanks
Richard
Richard Osborne says:

January 20, 2017 at 5:19 am

Hello James,
Thanks for your interest! We have done a successful Peak District 3D map and are planning to develop a way for you to choose an area and have a customised 3D map. And yes, most likely wall hanging! Crayon-proof is something we could look into..
I’ve made a note of your interest and will contact you as we have more developments in Feb/March.
Richard

How big are these and what price will they be? I’d love one of the Scottish Highlands if you are thinking of doing that?
James Hornett says:

November 29, 2016 at 11:24 pm

Hi,
A wall mounted version would be very practical. Unsure what wood you use as to whether staining would be a possibility?
Am keen for something that would resist crayons!

Would be nice to have some of the larger surrounding towns part-included to ‘frame’ the area I.e. Chesterfield
Debbie Roberts says:

October 20, 2016 at 9:27 am

A lovely box, thank you. I had been looking for awhile for somewhere to store my maps and found nothing I liked until I came across your website. Really cool idea, beautifully executed. I liked it so much that I’ve ordered another!
Corrinne Johnston says:

Hi, my partner is obsessed with maps!! We do a lot of hill walking and your idea of a 3d map is just the thing for him!! Please let me know when these become available. Thanks.

I’m interested in the Lake District 3D if you have prices etc?
Jenny Rhodes says:

I would love a map of the area we live in in the Pyrenees.My husband is an IML and loves the mountains.This is just the sort of thing for a man who appears to have everything.Would love to know when these are available to order.
Tamsyn cocks says:

August 30, 2016 at 10:28 pm

I would be very interested in one of these for a friends wedding next June. Please could you let me know how you get on? And also whether you could do commissions of particular places?

Thanks, Tamsyn
Richard Osborne says:

Hi Leona, Thanks for your interest! I’ll drop you an email about this. We have been planning to make a Lake District 3D map!
Leona Thorpe says:

August 24, 2016 at 1:56 pm

I’d love a wall mountable one of the Lake District – great idea (I also like the coffee table but might not win that argument …. wall space in my office is non-negotiable 🙂 )

I could not be more pleased with the map box I ordered or impressed with the service. The box was personalised with the place we live as a gift for my husband’s birthday. He was delighted by such a unique gift and I am thrilled that our OS maps now have such a smart home! The quality is excellent and I can see that this will be the first of many map boxes ordered. What a brilliant business – thank you!
Lizzie Coton says:

David Jones says:

Very happy with my product and Richard also communicated when l had questions about delivery etc. I ordered a map box with the Glen Coe area on and l had my name lasered on and the mountaineering club l belong to West Bromwich Mountaineering Club. I was that impressed it will be in our next newsletter for all our members and hopefully Richard will have more orders👍
Kimberly Clement says:

August 14, 2016 at 9:18 am

The idea of having a “map box” was inspiration!
Not to mention finding a gift that was perfect for a guy and was affordable too. However, the real joy was the product itself – really beautiful. I just loved this tactile, delightfully personalised box. I haven’t seen anything like this before and love it’s uniqueness too. The recipient of my gift was delighted. So, the only thing wrong is that I had to give it away!!
Marianne Webb says:

August 11, 2016 at 5:51 pm

A lovely present for my husband’s special birthday, well made and personalised with a map of our very first walk together. Thank you.
John Hamlett says:

A brilliant idea and a wonderful customised gift. Feels truly handmade and unique. I love it and my mum (her 80th) was thrilled.

Our beautiful map box arrived for our anniversary. It was a great personalised gift as The Workshop was able to mark the location on the box where we were married and add our initials to the top. We were both so pleased with the beautiful craftsmanship and functionality for storing our sprawling collection OS Activity maps. The Workshop was also great with correspondence and assured the gift would arrive on time.
Karen Wallis says:

August 3, 2016 at 10:54 pm

Thank you for making the map box personalised for my husband finding the exact area of the Lake District that means so much to him it’s beautiful! Thank you Richard for all your help your customer service is great! so nice to talk to someone on the phone who is really passionate about what they do.

Many thanks for the prompt map box delivery, received and now in pride of place in my sitting room.

A first class product in every way.

well made and nicely finished, efficient and friendly service. After receiving one as a birthday present I ordered 2 more as Christmas gifts.
David Clayton says:

July 28, 2016 at 5:29 pm

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.
Carol Madden says:

July 27, 2016 at 3:19 pm

Wonderful service. Very quick delivery. Nothing was too much trouble. A beautifully made product. Thoroughly pleased. I know my husband will be delighted with his Christmas present. Efficient. I will recommend them to anyone.
Susanna Farley says:

Very nice map box, quite exquisitely made. It has a lovely “woody” smell and a satisfying click on closing. Thank you for making and dispatching this in time for my husband’s birthday as requested.

Best Wishes,

I ordered this at the weekend and a couple of days later a proof arrived in my inbox to check, after that the finished box arrived in a couple of days. Very well packaged. The box itself is excellently made and looks really nice. It’s something you can have out, rather than stuck in a cupboard. I will order again, it is perfect for a present. Thank you
Valerie McAdam says:

July 23, 2016 at 4:18 pm

Very pleased with the box which I had customised . It arrived less than two weeks after placing the order. Very well packed. A lovely gift for my husband.
Sue Denison says:

July 20, 2016 at 11:41 pm

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.
Jennifer Holmes says:

July 20, 2016 at 11:39 pm

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.
Jennie Down says:

July 20, 2016 at 11:38 pm

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.
Jayne says:

July 18, 2016 at 11:09 am

Superb craftsmanship in this box, plus it arrived really well packaged and in plenty of time. It was for a gift, which has been well received, would highly recommend!
Hilary Grant says:

July 14, 2016 at 4:46 pm

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.
Isabel Boswell says:

Really pleased with customised map box. A birthday present… Sure the recipient will be equally pleased. From ordering to receiving via courier no problems. Would definetly re – order and pass on details 😊😊
John F. Marcham says:

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.
Susanna Smith says:

Just to say a HUGE thank you for the fabulous map box which arrived
today! Chris, my husband is really thrilled, and some of his maps are
already in the box ! It’s beautiful and practical, two things that he
loves in presents! Think we will be ordering another as we didn’t
realise quite how many 0/S maps he has!! And thank you so much for
putting his initials on the top …perfect , it just makes it personal
… very kind.
Thankyou so much …what a find…I will definitely be recommending your
company to friends and family!
Fiona Davison says:

July 3, 2016 at 10:27 pm

Box ordered was absolutely wonderful!
Ponteland map it where he lives (and bonus was his golf club too!)
He is in Milestone Society and just loves maps and all things associated.
Gave it to my Father today and he was thrilled to bits with it!
Great present
Spot on.
Thank you so much

Debbie Scrimshaw says:

June 27, 2016 at 9:30 am

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.
Sarah Murphy says:

June 25, 2016 at 5:25 pm

Our box has arrived. It’s perfect thankyou so much. My husband will treasure it and soon fill it with his maps. In time for father’s day too!
Jamie Rutherford says:

June 2, 2016 at 5:11 pm

Efficient and professional service resulting in a top quality end product. Fully worth the very reasonable price! Richard is really easy to work with, I felt completely happy with him taking the lead on such a unique gift. Highly recommended.
Martha Smith says:

May 23, 2016 at 9:15 pm

From the first email it’s been a pleasure ordering our box from Richard. The workmanship is fantastic and I’m so pleased with the finished object. It was a gift and I’d really recommend it for any walkers or map geeks you know!
