Presented as what looks like a classic book on a shelf, the VINGA Story of Seafood set opens to reveal the tools a seafood course actually requires: an oyster knife, a shell cracker and four seafood forks, each made from stainless steel with FSC certified ash wood.

The FSC gift box does double duty. It protects the blades and forks in transit and in storage, and it turns the set into an object worth leaving out rather than hiding in a drawer. The tools themselves are precisely made, with the short, firm blade an oyster knife needs and a cracker sized for crab and lobster shells. The whole package measures 20 by 17 by 2.5 centimetres, compact enough to post or to hand over at a table.

The specificity is the strength here. It is a gift for people known to cook or entertain: senior clients at the end of a year, hosts at a partner dinner, prize winners in a hospitality promotion, or employees in a food, fishing, wine and spirits or restaurant supply business where the subject is part of daily work. Coastal hotels, seafood importers and premium grocers use it as a customer thank-you that reads as chosen rather than bought in bulk.

Your logo can be applied to the book-style box or engraved into the wooden handles for a quieter finish. MerchRepublic handles the branding, prices campaign volumes and ships across the European Union.
