DIY wooden toy

If there's a little one in your life and you’re not sure what to get them this Christmas, why not make them a wooden toy? Using your range of skills and woodworking equipment, crafting a homemade toy could be the perfect gift for them this Christmas. Simply decide what kind of wooden toy you’d like to make and map out a plan. Popular choices include wooden figures, animals, blocks, or even a rocking horse if you’re up for a challenge!

A wooden sign for their home 

A simple yet thoughtful woodworking gift idea is a personalised wooden sign. There is room to be really creative here as you can tailor the writing to suit who you’re making it for. For example, you could engrave their favourite quote, lyric, or phrase. If you’re stuck for ideas, you can’t go wrong with a classic “welcome home” sign. 

Don’t forget to leave a hole in the top so they can hang it up! 

A handmade picture frame

Another thoughtful gift idea that they’ll love this Christmas is a handmade picture frame. Memories are very sentimental, so having a lovely frame to hold them makes it even more special. There’s no better way to hold a memory than a handcrafted picture frame made especially for you by someone you love.
