Christmas Gift Guide For Crafty Boys

I love buying gifts for creative and crafty kids. Here is a roundup of some of our fav. Obviously, girls can like these too we don’t discriminate but we just composed this list to make it easier for moms and dads.

So what is our best advice when buying DIY craft kits for children?

firstly look for crafts that require minimum parent input and crafts that contain all the items they are going to need to complete the project. There is nothing worse than a kid starting his or her kit only to find out they need supplies to finish the kit!

Creative kids usually like to see results fast so avoid kits that take several days for “drying time” or have a large “setting time”. Pick a craft kit that suits your child’s interest, for example an army-themed craft kit, a woodwork themed craft kit, or an art project that uses paints, nature or fashion.

If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.

I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
