Upcycled Cutting Board Gift Ideas

This gift idea is so sweet. Kristin will walk you through the steps to make this cutting board with a handwritten recipe. I would say that most of us have more than a few of these recipes handed down from previous generations. Who wouldn't love this special handmade gift?

Here's another great cutting board idea to give as a gift. This one happens to be from the Target dollar spot, but cutting boards are readily available at thrift stores. Carlene used a stencil to update this cutting board riser.

How about one last cutting board gift idea? This happens to be the easiest iPad or cookbook stand you will find on pinterest! You only need a cutting board, picture frame and a scrabble tile holder!

This welcome sign would make a great neighbor gift, and you would get to enjoy it too as you pass by your neighbor's house. So, if you're invited to a party, what hostess wouldn't love a handmade leaner welcome sign? Sue will walk you through all the details, and help you with your handmade gift ideas!

Easy Hostess Gifts

You may already have a pretty plate and candlestick in your stash somewhere. If not, a quick trip to the thrift store will net you several options to choose from. Mix and match the pieces to quickly make a dessert plate (with dessert) for a hostess gift. When the dessert is gone, your friend or neighbor will have a great place to hold jewelry, candles etc.

These vintage happy meal toy ornaments would make a great nostalgic gift for the Millennials on your list! When it comes to handmade gift ideas, it doesn't get any easier than this!
