Don’t get bored of gift giving and decorating… get board! At Down to Earth, it’s all about the cutting boards this season. We have so many unique styles to choose from. Whether you’re looking for the perfect hostess gift or you want to easily add some style to your kitchen décor, these looks are going to serve up some serious inspiration!
A CUT ABOVE: GIFTING BOARDS
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, now’s the time to start thinking hostess gifts. Bring on the boards.
Styling your gift is as simple as 1, 2, 3.
1. Use the board as your base.

2. Layer a little something extra.
3. And, if you’re feeling fancy, top it off with a third something sweet!
Let’s try that again. This time, we'll add a little seasonal flavor!
1. Your board base.

2. Our hottest-selling dish towel and overall crowd pleaser.

3. A new holiday decoration for the home.

Tie it up with a ribbon and a gift tag and you're all set.
Want to shake things up like a Christmas snow globe? Try swapping your wood base for a stone version and going taller with a layer.
If it’s a house warming gift you see, candles are always a bright idea!

Clearly, there are no limits when it comes to board combinations you can create.
THE LAYERED LOOK: DECORATING WITH BOARDS
The best thing about cutting boards – you know, behind they’re actual usefulness, which is always a great thing – is how they easily add a layer to any kitchen display. They’re thin enough to place with a second item, such as wall art, and they’re pretty enough to enhance the overall look and feel of the home.

There’s no way these beauties should be hiding inside a drawer! Stand one up for instant height variation or position it horizontally for a subtler second layer.

Placing your board flat on the shelf isn’t the worst idea. Look how it groups this candle trio together and gives this shelf display a lift.
If you’re like your friends at Down to Earth and you can’t stop at just one board, consider grouping your glorious collection together and making it art all on its own.
![variety of cutting boards](/post_gallery/gv/BLOG_GV_DTE_Cutting-Boards_variety1_MH.jpg)
Keep size variety in mind. Smaller boards are great when creating a charcuterie for two. Long and lean is just right when serving French bread to the entire crew. Depending on your needs, Down to Earth has your bases covered.

Of course, variety is also the spice of life when it comes to bringing your shelves and other display areas to life. Having different shaped boards add interest and fun!

As you can see, cutting boards are anything but boring. They make interesting gifts AND enhance your own space. Cut. It. Out. No wonder we can’t get enough! Can you believe this is only a few of the MANY options currently available at Down to Earth?! Stop by and see for yourself and be the fav guest at your upcoming holiday shindigs.
