Boy, have I got something awesome in store for you today! I know you may not even know what you’ll be for Halloween yet, but maybe you’re already looking ahead (and sweating ahead) for what could be the ultimate stressful time of the year – holiday gift giving. Well, you’re in for a treat then, my friends! Here’s a roundup of over 30 Wooden Handmade Gift Ideas.
And this is all part of
The Ultimate Library of Handmade Gifts
a collection brought to you by my favorite bloggers just in time for the holidays. The answer to your wildest dreams, and/or nightmares. You know how everyone says they have “something for everyone on your list”? With over 200 handmade gift ideas, I hope that you really do find the perfect gift, or last inspiration, for everyone on your list. My contribution to this list of all lists are handmade gifts from wood. I love the versatility of wood, how it can look handmade or store-bought, even if it was all done by hand. It can be fun, modern, vintage, and customized for the pickiest recipient! Let’s dive right in!

Slice and Dice
It’s pretty amazing what you can do with a slice of wood. I mean, it’s like having a blank canvas to work with. I’d even make an analogy to a blank sheet of paper…if they weren’t pretty much already the same thing… Annnnyways, here are some grrreat ideas!

For the Young and Young at Heart
So, the teether has a specific age limit, but the ruler growth chart can be for anyone. Plus, I think it’d be fun to have a ginormous ruler hanging around the house!

‘Tis the Season
Here are a few creative ways to use wood for Christmas decorating, and all using supplies from around the house. Ok, I admit it, I did look around and see if I had an old chair I could bust up for ornaments.

It’s Just a Drill
Ah, power tools, how I love you and am terrified of you all at the same time. Pop a drill onto your favorite power driver and see what you can come up with!

Wood Signs
When all else fails, a wood sign with a favorite quote or scripture or verse from a song always always works. I always tell myself I don’t NEED a wood sign around the house, but then, I’m ALWAYS tempted to buy the “Beach, this way ->” sign or some other “reminds me of vacation” sign at the county fair. Someday, I will make one, when I can decide what I want to put on it.

Thanks Kirsten! I love working with wood too, they can come out looking so professional, but I’m also always stumped and usually overwhelmed.
Do you have a wood burner, or do you use a dremel?
I actually have a wood burner .
Are you surprised? 😉
Ya know, I did look around for tree branches while putting this roundup together. Aren’t the wood disks great?
