Shop Chopping Board Sets
This personalised chopping board set is another great home gift. Each board can be engraved with lettering of your choice. Popular engraving choices are food groups and family names. What better way to encourage the kids to help out in the kitchen than to give them their own personalised chopping board? And, you can choose whatever timber you like for each individual board. The set also comes with a beautiful slide-in display case for keeping all your boards in one place.
