Imagine a winter evening, the smell of cinnamon filling the kitchen, and a beautifully wrapped cutting board waiting to be unwrapped.
Inside, cozy essentials such as soft towels, wooden spoons, and a touch of chocolate or candy cane make the receiver feel cared for.
This handmade gift whispers, “I thought of you,” in the most practical yet heartfelt way.
Materials Needed
- Wooden cutting boards (small to medium size)
- Festive tea towels or hand towels
- Wooden spoons or small kitchen utensils
- Candy canes or a small chocolate bar
- Wide ribbon (2”-3” satin or plaid works beautifully)
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Lay the towel flat and fold it neatly into a rectangle wide enough to cover the cutting board.
Step 2: Place the towel on the board, leaving enough room at the top for handles or embellishments.
Step 3: Tuck wooden spoons, candy canes, or chocolate bars into the folds of the towel to create a little “pocket.”
Step 4: Wrap the ribbon securely around the board, tying it into a large bow at the front.
Step 5: Adjust the items so they peek out naturally without slipping.
Step 6: Add a small gift tag or sprig of greenery for an extra festive touch before gifting.
Note:
You can swap candy canes for herbal tea packets, small spice jars, or homemade cookies to personalize this set even more.
