About Timber & Tide
Made with love in Monroe, Oregon
Hi, we're Celena and Rodney — the hands and hearts behind Timber & Tide. We're a small handmade studio tucked into the quiet of Monroe, Oregon, and we believe the most meaningful gifts aren't bought — they're made with intention, care, and a little bit of love poured into every detail.
Our faith drives everything we do. We see this work as more than a business — it's a calling. A chance to be good stewards of our craft, our community, and the sacred moments people invite us into. We are deeply grateful for every person who trusts us with their most meaningful celebrations.
We're on a mission to bring analog joy back
In a world that moves fast and lives on screens, we believe there's something quietly powerful about slowing down. About picking up a pen. Cracking open a book. Writing a letter by hand. Sitting down to copy a beloved recipe into a journal that will outlast any phone or hard drive.
That's what Timber & Tide is really about. We curate gifts and bundles that invite people back to the analog — to reading, writing, journaling, and the kind of quiet, intentional living that fills you up. We're even dreaming up kitchen and recipe bundles, because we think the world needs more people writing down their grandmother's pie crust recipe instead of just Googling it.
Every piece tells a story
We work with natural wood, and we embrace everything that comes with it — the grain, the knots, the subtle variations that make each piece its own. Every bookmark, keychain, keepsake, and engraved journal is laser-engraved and assembled by hand. Never cookie-cutter. Always one-of-a-kind, just like the moment it celebrates.
More than keepsakes
Timber & Tide has grown into a full gift studio — from personalized laser-engraved keepsakes to curated stationery bundles, bookish gift sets, faith-inspired kits, and handmade accessories. Whether you're a reader, a journaler, a letter-writer, or someone who just wants to give a gift that truly means something — we have something made for you.
The experience is part of the gift
We think about the moment you open the mailbox. The weight of a package that was clearly put together with care. The little details that tell you someone — a real person — thought about what would make you smile. That experience of receiving something made just for you? That's not an accident. We design for that moment on purpose.
You have so many options, and we don't take it lightly that you chose us. Every order is handled with gratitude and care, because we know it represents a moment that matters to you.
Personalized for the people you love
Whether you're marking a birthday, a new baby, a wedding, a faith milestone, or just wanting to say "I was thinking of you" — we make it personal. Names, dates, birth flowers, and messages engraved with care, so the person who receives it knows it was made just for them.
From our hands to your heart
We don't take lightly the trust it takes to invite us into your most meaningful moments. From our little studio in Oregon to wherever you are — thank you for being here. We hope every piece we make carries a little of the love we put into it.
