A hostess gift that she'll treasure forever. Or she'd better, because she can't resell it.

A hostess gift that she'll treasure forever. Or she'd better, because she can't resell it.

Sometimes a great bottle of wine or a handmade candle makes the perfect hostess gift. But when you need something extra special, I think I've found a winner. This custom personalized wooden serving tray is simply gorgeous. A fabulous hostess, housewarming, or wedding gift, the tray is handcrafted from reclaimed cherrywood and features lovely design details, like the custom engraving with the names of your choice and the rope handles. If you see a different design in the shop that you'd prefer, just convo the artist. They'll whip up exactly what you'd like to make this personalized gift even more personal. -Kristen You can purchase the custom personalized wooden tray at Richwood Creations on Etsy.
