In the past, souvenirs were mostly about volume, keychains, magnets, mugs. Today, buyers and tourists are shifting their focus.
They no longer want something that simply says “I went there.” They want something that makes them feel like they're still there.
That's why custom wooden souvenirs, especially photo frames, ornaments, and plaques, are gaining popularity among:
✅ Museum shops
✅ City-themed boutiques
✅ Local culture brands
✅ Destination gift stores
These products work because they combine three essential values:
- Storytelling A laser-cut wooden frame featuring a city skyline or cultural icon does more than hold a photo — it becomes part of the story.
- Natural materials More travelers care about sustainable, eco-conscious materials like layered plywood or FSC-certified wood.
- Compact, giftable form Tourists still need souvenirs to fit in a suitcase — but now they also want them to fit in their lifestyle.
At Ocean Crafts, we help shops around the world co-create wooden travel gifts that reflect their region's culture, from Japanese temples to Swiss mountains, and beyond.
We don't just manufacture. We help transform a place into a product that connects.
