Every year around the holidays, there is a list of the most popular toys or gifts. While we all can check out these lists for inspiration, the truth is that we want to give our loved ones something unique that speaks to how much we care about them. Exotic wood gifts can be both a unique and beautiful gift, but also serve a practical purpose as well. Let’s dive into some of the best options for exotic wood gifts.

Gifts Ideas with Exotic Wood

Wood Money Clip

While cash is used less often as our society moves to digital payment options, most of us still carry a small amount of cash. Exotic wood money clips can be unique and still practical. Plus, you can have them engraved with your loved one’s name or initials. The design can include details special to them, thus making it a one-of-a-kind gift.

Charcuterie Board

Everyone loves charcuterie boards for gatherings or even snacks for movie night with the family. Exotic wood can easily be turned into a beautiful charcuterie board with unique coloring and grain patterns. Plus, you can incorporate a family name or design into the board, providing that special touch.

Wooden Vase Cover

Vases are beautiful, but not everyone enjoys having glass objects out in their family room. With an exotic wood box, you can slip your vase inside and bring some warm wood tones into the room’s décor. These wooden vases can bring exotic woods into your space in a way that makes your loved one feel special.

Exotic Wood Keychain

Although today’s cars now just need a fob and most homes just need a code, keychains are still popular stocking stuffers. Exotic wood keychains can be used to hold your car’s fob, an emergency house key, or even the key to your gym locker. Plus, they look incredible and can be big enough to hide an air tag for tracking.

Coasters with Exotic Wood

Having friends and family over for the holidays? This idea might be a great gift to give yourself. Exotic wood coasters are treated to protect the wood from moisture while allowing you to protect your furniture from glass rings and condensation. The best part is that you don’t have to use them just around the holidays. They can be a part of your family room décor and used throughout the year.

How to Make Your Exotic Wood Gifts Unique

Every gift made of wood is slightly different because no two pieces of wood are exactly alike in terms of coloring and grain. With that in mind, you can have anything customized with laser engraving. These engravings could include a name, initials, a custom design, or a combination of these items. Create your own family crest and have it placed on the charcuterie board. The engraving can even be filled in with another wood, thus allowing the board to be smooth for use but also unique to your family.
