Personalised Hot & Cold Velvetiser Stand

Personalised Hot & Cold Velvetiser Stand

Create a beautiful and organised hot chocolate station with our handcrafted solid oak stand, designed specifically for the newer Hotel Chocolat Hot & Cold Velvetiser.

Each personalised Velvetiser stand is handmade to order from premium FSC-certified European oak in our family workshop on the Essex and Suffolk border. Carefully measured pockets hold your machine, cups and hot chocolate sachets neatly in place, transforming an everyday kitchen appliance into a feature you will be proud to leave on display.

Whether you are creating a cosy hot chocolate corner in your own kitchen or looking for a thoughtful personalised gift, this solid oak hot chocolate station combines practical storage with timeless craftsmanship.

Designed for the New Hot & Cold Velvetiser

This stand has been created to fit the newer Hotel Chocolat Hot & Cold Velvetiser. It is different from our stand for the original Velvetiser, so please check which machine you own before ordering.

The precisely cut machine pocket helps keep your Velvetiser securely positioned, while the different layout choices allow you to select the storage that best suits the way you enjoy your drinks.

Please note: The Velvetiser machine, cups, sachets and accessories shown in our photographs are for display purposes only and are not included.

Choose Your Perfect Layout

Our personalised Hot & Cold Velvetiser stand is available in four practical designs:

• Machine Only Pocket – approximately 20cm × 20cm: Designed to house the newer Hot & Cold Velvetiser machine only. Perfect if you prefer a clean, minimalist look or already have your mugs and hot chocolate stored separately.
• No Cup Holders – approximately 28cm × 18cm: Includes space for the machine and a hot chocolate sachet pocket.
• No Sachet Holder – approximately 22cm × 20cm: Includes space for the machine and two mugs.
• Two Cup & Sachet Holder – approximately 34cm × 20cm: Includes space for the machine, two mugs and a sachet holder.
• Four Cup & Sachet Holder – approximately 45cm × 20cm: Includes space for the machine, four mugs and a sachet holder.

Every layout is designed to keep your favourite hot chocolate essentials together, helping to reduce clutter and create a warm, inviting drinks station.

Made from Solid European Oak

We make every Velvetiser stand from sustainably sourced, FSC-certified European oak. We choose solid oak for its strength, natural warmth and beautiful grain, creating a piece that is made to be enjoyed for many years.

As oak is a natural material, every stand will have its own individual grain pattern, colouring and character. Small variations are part of the beauty of real wood and mean that no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.

Your stand is carefully sanded until smooth and finished with a food-safe oil. The oil protects the wood while enhancing its natural colour and bringing the grain to life.

Make It Personal

Add your chosen wording to make your hot chocolate station completely your own. Depending on the option selected, your wording can be engraved on one or two sides of the stand.

Popular personalisation ideas include:

• Hot Chocolate Station
• Warm Hugs & Hot Mugs
• Hot Choc Heaven
• Love in a Mug
• Cosy Corner
• The Smiths
• Christmas Cocoa Bar
• Treat Yourself

You may choose one of these ideas or enter your own name, short phrase or message. Please check all spelling, punctuation and capital letters carefully before placing your order, as we will engrave the wording exactly as it is submitted.

If your requested wording is particularly long, we may adjust its size or layout so it fits the available engraving space beautifully.

A Thoughtful Gift for Chocolate Lovers

A personalised Velvetiser stand makes a wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys hot chocolate, coffee or indulgent drinks at home. It is particularly lovely for birthdays, Christmas, housewarmings, weddings and new-home celebrations.

It is also a thoughtful gift for someone who has recently received the new Hot & Cold Velvetiser and would love a stylish way to keep their machine, cups and sachets organised.

Because every stand is handmade and personalised to order, it feels far more meaningful than a mass-produced kitchen accessory.

Handmade by Fox & Fern

Fox & Fern is a small, family-run business creating solid oak pieces designed to bring warmth, organisation and character to your home.

Every Velvetiser stand is individually made in our workshop rather than taken from a warehouse shelf. From preparing the oak and cutting each pocket to sanding, oiling and engraving your chosen wording, your order receives careful attention throughout the entire making process.

Our aim is to create something that is not only practical, but also beautiful enough to become part of your home for years to come.

Care Instructions

To keep your solid oak Velvetiser stand looking its best:

• Wipe clean using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Dry the wood promptly after cleaning.
• Do not soak or submerge it in water.
• Do not place it in a dishwasher.
• Avoid harsh cleaning sprays and abrasive products.
• Reapply a suitable food-safe wood oil when the oak begins to look dry.

As with all natural wood, prolonged contact with water or excessive heat should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the original Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser?

No. This particular stand is designed for the newer Hot & Cold Velvetiser. The original Velvetiser has different measurements and requires its own stand, so please make sure you select the correct product for your machine.

Is the Velvetiser included?

No. This listing is for the handmade solid oak stand only. The machine, cups, hot chocolate sachets and other accessories shown in the photographs are not included.

Is the stand made from real oak?

Yes. Every stand is handmade from solid FSC-certified European oak. It is not oak veneer or printed wood effect.

Will my stand look exactly like the photographs?

Your stand will follow the same design, but the grain and colouring will naturally vary. These differences are a normal and beautiful feature of solid oak, making every finished piece unique.

Can I choose my own wording?

Yes. You can enter your chosen wording in the personalisation box when ordering. Please check it carefully, as personalised products are made specifically for you and cannot normally be returned unless they are faulty.

Can the stand be personalised on two sides?

Yes. Please select either the one-side or two-side wording option before adding the product to your basket.

How do I know which size to choose?

Choose according to whether you would like storage for the machine only, cups, sachets or a combination of all three. The approximate measurements for every layout are listed above, so we recommend checking the available space on your kitchen worktop before ordering.

Can you make a custom version?

We can often create bespoke designs and sizes. Please contact us before ordering so we can discuss your requirements and confirm the price.
