Entertaining Gifts

Not Sure Where to Start?

• The Marble Grove Personalized Charcuterie Board ($89.99): our most-loved centerpiece, and the one that ends up staying out on the counter long after the party is over.
• The Custom Script Paddle Charcuterie Board ($79.99): a different silhouette with three personalization styles, a great pick if you already own a round board.
• The Complete Hosting Set ($49.99): the simplest way to get everything you need for the spread in one order.

How to Choose the Right Piece for Your Cookout

For the backyard host going all out: build the whole spread around a piece like the Marble Grove Charcuterie Board or the Custom Butcher Block, both sized for a full table of guests.

For a smaller get-together: the Signature Slate Serving Board and the Custom Family Charcuterie Board are sized right for a few close friends without overwhelming a smaller table.

For bringing something to someone else's party: a lighter, funnier pick like the That's What Cheese Said Charcuterie Board makes a great hostess gift that doubles as the life of the table.

For the guy who takes his drinkware seriously: the 'Merica Bald Eagle Personalized Pint Glass is a fun, personalized way to bring the patriotism to the cooler.

How do you clean and care for a personalized charcuterie board? Hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately, since soaking or running it through the dishwasher can warp the wood or fade the engraving over time. The University of Maine Cooperative Extension recommends conditioning wood serving boards with food-safe mineral oil about once a month to keep the surface from drying out.

Is it safe to serve food directly on an engraved wood board? Yes. The engraving itself does not affect food safety as long as the surface is washed and dried promptly after each use, the same care recommended for any wood cutting or serving board.

Who Are You Shopping For?

The friend who hosts every summer cookout: they already have the grill and the folding chairs, what they are missing is a serving piece that feels like theirs. Browse the full Personalized Cheese Boards collection for more centerpiece options.

The neighbor with the well-stocked cooler: a personalized pint glass or rocks glass makes the drink taste better just by having their name on it. See the full Rocks Glasses collection for more.

Whoever is bringing the cutting board this year: if they are the one always stuck slicing watermelon on a beat-up plastic board, a Personalized Cutting Board is an upgrade they will notice every time they cook.

Whoever you are shopping for, every piece ships with free personalization and is handcrafted by hand in Monroe, Connecticut, so a family name, a monogram, or your own message is never an extra step, it is already included.
