Give away gift crayfish platter: Shine on the August evening with a gift beyond the ordinary
The crayfish platter is one of the coziest traditions of late summer. Singing songs, lanterns that twinkle in the dusk and crayfish that are pulled by the thumb grip. If you are invited to a party, it is always appreciated to bring a gift to go with the crayfish platter. At Mr Fredrik you will find handmade gifts in brass and pewter that fit the mood and that the host will use long after August.
We are a small family-owned company that designs unique products in brass, pewter, steel and aluminum. When you choose a going away gift from us, you give something that carries authentic Swedish design, which feels especially fitting for a holiday with such deep Swedish roots.

Why a going away gift for the crayfish platter from Mr. Fredrik?
There are probably few Swedish traditions that are as culturally charged as the crayfish platter. Floating schnapps glasses, moonlight candles and a certain atmosphere around the dining table. A going-away gift that ends up right here doesn't have to shout loudly, it should fit into the tradition and lift the evening. That's why our products work so well in this context.
A brass candlestick that lights up on the porch, a bottle opener that opens the evening's beer bottles, or a pewter bowl where the host serves dill and spices. It's the kind of gift that blends in and lifts at the same time. The recipient appreciates it, the guests notice it, and the gift quickly finds its place in the home.
Popular gifts for the crayfish platter
We have selected a few products that fit the mood of a crayfish platter particularly well:
Brass bottle opener and cap opener from Gusums Messing, used all evening
Brass candlesticks and candle sleeves, perfect for the moonlight mood
Brass matchbox case with summer motifs such as crab, fish or acorns
Pewter bowls and serving platters from Munka Tenn, excellent for dill, bread and cheese
Wine cooler in recycled teak with stainless steel inner bowl, perfect for chilled aquavit or beer
Our tip is to combine one of our products with something consumable. A bottle of spiced aquavit accompanied by a brass bottle opener, or a small bag of crayfish seasoning together with a pewter bowl. It will be both a thought for the evening and a gift that stands the test of time.
Personalize the gift with an engraved greeting
If you want to stand out even more, you can order engraving on several of our products. Think of a matchbox case with the host's initials or a candle holder with a short quote from a schnapps song. It's the kind of detail that will make the host laugh and then keep the gift in a special place.
The engraving is done with precision and adds a personal touch without making the gift pretentious. It is perfect for a holiday that is otherwise often celebrated in a joking tone. Please allow a few extra days for delivery for engraved products, so place your order well in advance for August.
The little traditions of the Cancer Disc and how your gift can fit in
Crayfish, moon lanterns, paper hats and schnapps songs form the core of the crayfish party. Many hosts have their own little ritual, perhaps it's the neighbor who calls out the first toast or the only cousin who always knows all the verses. A going-away gift for the crayfish party should be a nod to tradition without exaggerating. A candlestick that can be left out all August, a bottle opener that looks like a dill jar or a bowl where the host puts the spice mix. These are small details that are appreciated both that evening and throughout the rest of the year.
