Enjoy The Wood

What to know about shopping at Enjoy The Wood

Enjoy The Wood makes wooden home decor to order from birch plywood, and almost everything in the catalog starts from the same idea: a layered 3D map you hang on a wall. The world maps come in natural wood, painted color finishes, LED-backlit and luminous versions, with country and city maps alongside them. Around that sit wooden night lights, cork keepsake boxes, dollhouses, pet houses, bookshelves, key holders, and the small push pins and flag stickers people use to mark off the places they have been.

A good deal of the range is aimed at children rather than adults. Dollhouses, toy car garage storage, wooden puzzles and nursery night lights are sold in the same store as the decor rather than a separate one, so it is worth browsing both halves if you are shopping for a family.

Demand is gift-led, which shapes when things move. The maps sell as wedding, anniversary, housewarming and retirement presents, so the busiest window is the run-up to Christmas, with smaller peaks around Valentine's Day and Father's Day. Sale pricing sits on most of the catalog most of the time rather than arriving in discrete events, so a reduced price here is closer to standing pricing than to a limited window. Treat it as the normal price and decide on the piece, not the badge.

Two practical points. Pieces are made to order, so the constraint is build time rather than stock: order well ahead of a dated occasion. And the maps run to genuinely large sizes, so measure the wall first. The space a layered 3D map needs is easy to underestimate, and the LED versions need a power outlet within reach of wherever you hang them.
