The woodcarving tradition of Val Gardena is also expressed in small everyday home accessories. Carved wooden magnets combine craftsmanship with decorative practicality, making them ideal for personalising metal surfaces in kitchens, workspaces or children's bedrooms. Each piece is crafted from selected woods, mainly maple, shaped with soft lines and enhanced by hand-painted details.
The range encompasses numerous motifs designed to suit different tastes and settings. A core part of the collection is dedicated to animals, from domestic pets such as dogs and cats to woodland creatures, owls, hedgehogs, butterflies and lucky ladybirds. Alongside the carved wildlife, there are symbolic shapes such as mosaic hearts, little houses and edelweiss, as well as protective figures like stylised praying angels. Lovers of these small masterpieces can harmoniously complement them with other accessories such as bookmarks, keyrings and pencils or with the fully round sculptures from the range dedicated to handmade wooden animal figurines.
To choose the magnet best suited to your needs, it is worth considering its intended setting and symbolic value. If you wish to brighten a fridge or a metal noticeboard with a playful touch, colourful animals and miniature cars bring cheer and charm. Finely crafted motifs such as angels and hearts are particularly suited to celebrations or special occasions, serving as refined thank-you keepsakes within our selection of favours and wooden gifts. Furthermore, complete display panel sets offer an ideal solution for collectors or anyone wishing to create a coordinated arrangement to pair with our wood-carved gift ideas and home decor.
The magnets are primarily made from maple wood, a dense, fine-grained timber that allows sharp carving and precise hand-painted strokes.
Yes, the sculpted craftsmanship and variety of symbols such as hearts and little angels make them an excellent choice as a lasting keepsake for religious ceremonies, christenings and family celebrations.
Simply dust them gently with a soft, dry cloth, strictly avoiding the use of chemical detergents, alcohol or water, which could compromise the natural colours.
