Beautifully Engraved Wood Gifts: Timeless, Thoughtful, and Made to Treasure

A Gift That Lasts

There’s something special about giving a gift made of wood — it feels warm, natural, and lasting. When it’s engraved with a name, date, or meaningful detail, it becomes more than just a piece of décor or kitchenware. It becomes part of someone’s story.

Every item in our engraved wood collection is designed and finished right here in our My Island Life studio. From serving boards to personalized utensils, each piece is created to celebrate life’s meaningful moments — big and small.

Handwritten Recipe Boards

These are one of my favorite gifts to create because they carry a little piece of family history. I take a handwritten recipe — often from a loved one — and engrave it directly onto wood. The result is a keepsake that feels personal, emotional, and absolutely one-of-a-kind.

Whether it’s Grandma’s pizzelle recipe or Dad’s famous barbecue rub, it’s a beautiful way to keep family traditions alive.

Entertaining Made Personal

If you’re shopping for someone who loves to entertain, our engraved appetizer and charcuterie boards make perfect gifts. These pieces combine function and beauty, turning simple hosting moments into something special.

Add a name or short phrase, and it becomes the kind of gift that’s used — and loved — all year long.

The Perfect Gift Set

For an all-in-one gift, our engraved cheese board and knife bundles are always a hit. They combine the elegance of natural wood with a thoughtful engraving — whether that’s a family name, established date, or simple monogram.

They’re perfect for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, or just because.

Crafted for Life’s Moments

Each of these pieces is engraved, sealed, and finished by hand right here in the studio — no two are ever quite the same. That’s what makes them special.

When you give an engraved wood gift, you’re giving more than something beautiful. You’re giving something meaningful — a reminder that the best gifts are made with heart.
