A last-minute gift with meaning? A wooden artwork you can collect today

The anniversary is tomorrow. The dinner is tonight. Or friends celebrate their wooden wedding anniversary in three days. And you want to give something worthwhile: something that still hangs on the wall twenty years from now, rather than something forgotten by the end of the weekend.

That is what Foss was made for. A handcrafted wall object in solid walnut or oak from the Wonder by Wood atelier in Bussum, near Amsterdam. A few sets are always ready. Collect today, or have it delivered tomorrow. And best of all: the gift keeps growing, year after year.

In your hands today: how it works

1. Collect in Bussum, today

At the atelier on the Meidoornstraat in Bussum, half an hour from Amsterdam and ten minutes from Hilversum, a few Foss sets and individual objects are always in stock. Order online and choose Pick up at checkout, or send Nadine a message: your gift will be packed and waiting, with its numbered certificate of authenticity. The Foss Starter Set page shows which sets are ready right now under In stock today.

2. Delivered tomorrow

Prefer delivery? Whatever is in stock leaves the atelier the same day. Ordered on a working day before 15:00, it usually arrives the next day within the Netherlands; Belgium and Germany follow within a few days. Every piece travels carefully packed and ready to hang: drilling template and mounting kit included.

3. The gift card, always on time

Would you rather let the recipient choose, or is it really tonight already? The Wonder Gift Card is in your inbox within a minute. The recipient chooses the work themselves, if they wish during a private viewing at the atelier.

Why a wooden artwork is the better last-minute gift

Most last-minute gifts give themselves away. A bottle, a voucher, something from the shelves at the station. A solid wood artwork does the opposite: it looks as though you spent months thinking about it. Wood is alive. It carries years of growth in its grain, catches the light differently every morning and brings calm to a room, the way nature does.

The moment the work went up on the wall, something changed in how the room felt. Everyone who walks in notices it.

Every Foss object is sawn and finished by hand in Bussum, comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity and hangs on a magnetic system that lets the recipient slide and turn the composition themselves. It adapts, to every wall and every taste.

The gift that keeps growing

Foss means waterfall in Icelandic. The work consists of individual objects, Dropi (droplet form) and Steinn (stone form), which together form a landscape on the wall. You begin with a set of three, five or ten objects. And then, for every occasion that follows, an object is added: a birthday, the next anniversary, a new home, a beautiful day.

So you only have to think of the gift once. The first set marks the moment. Every year the wall grows a little further along with the story of the people who live there, until it becomes a timeline of your moments. Feel free to write it on the card: one more every year.

What it costs

The Foss Starter Set starts at € 299 for a Trio in Mini (± 22 cm per object). The mixed Trio, one generous Maxi of ± 33 cm with two Minis around it, is € 399 and gives the composition instant depth and rhythm. An additional object costs € 99.90 (Mini) or € 199.80 (Maxi), natural or with one half gilded in gold or silver. Mini and Maxi hang on the same system and combine freely, now or five years from now.

For which occasion

Wooden wedding anniversary: five years married

Five years of marriage is the wooden anniversary. A Foss in solid walnut or oak takes that theme literally, and is at once the gift that grows with the marriage: an object added at 12.5 years, another at 25. For the couple, or for yourselves.

Jubilee, birthday, retirement

A milestone year asks for something that lasts. A Trio for a fiftieth birthday, a Quintet for a 25-year jubilee, a Grande for the farewell to a career. Every object after that is a new chapter.

Housewarming and birth

A new home or a new life begins with an empty wall. Foss fills it with something that grows: an object for every birthday of the child, until the wall is full of story.

Business: a gift for a client or a long-serving colleague

For a jubilarian or a valued client, a handmade work from limited production is a lasting gesture. For companies that give more often, there are business options with bespoke works.

For the person who has everything

The people who already have everything are the hardest to buy for. Their home is in order, their taste is defined. What remains is something that exists only once: a numbered work, made by hand, that changes a little every year. That is a gift that grows beyond the gift.

Frequently asked questions

Can I collect a gift in Bussum today?

Yes. A few Foss sets and individual objects are always in stock at the atelier in Bussum. Order online and choose Pick up at checkout, or message Nadine for a time that suits you. For Foss from stock, your order is usually ready the same day.

How quickly is a Foss delivered?

Whatever is in stock, Nadine ships the same day. Ordered on a working day before 15:00, it usually arrives the next day within the Netherlands; Belgium and Germany within a few days. Other combinations are made especially for you, in around fifteen working days.

What does a Foss cost as a gift?

The Starter Set starts at € 299 (Trio Mini). The mixed Trio with one Maxi and two Minis costs € 399, the Quintet from € 499 and the Grande of ten objects from € 999. An additional object starts at € 99.90.

Can I combine Mini and Maxi?

Yes. Mini (± 22 cm) and Maxi (± 33 cm) hang on the same magnetic system. Choose them mixed in one set, or add individual objects later in whichever size you like.

How does the gift that keeps growing work?

You give a Starter Set once. For every occasion that follows, a birthday, an anniversary, a milestone, you add an individual Dropi or Steinn object via Foss Expansion. The recipient slides it magnetically into the composition, and the wall grows with the years.

What if the recipient would rather choose themselves?

Then the Wonder Gift Card is the gesture: digital and in your inbox within a minute, or as the Atelier edition by post. The recipient chooses the work, if they wish during a private viewing at the atelier.
