My Favorite New Heart Gifts

There a few gift giving holidays in the future and I am sure, if you are like me, that things that are gifted from the heart are those that bring more joy than the gift cards or “what everybody is getting” gifts…remember the “everyone got an instant pot for Christmas “year? I thought this was the perfect time to share just a few of my latest favorite heart gifts…you know…those gifted from the heart.

If you have followed me very long, you will know that I love receiving and giving gifts that speak to the heart…like I shared earlier in this post.

With birthdays, weddings, and Valentine’s Day gifts in your future, I thought I would help inspire you for some heart felt gift giving.

There’s nothing like planning gifts in advance that require thought for those you love. Right?

These are a few of my favorite gifts that I received and gifted that I felt were worthy of sharing with all of you.

Heart Gifts Worth Gifting and Receiving

1. Engraved gifts

My son has been creating the most amazing gifts with his CNC machine. My first favorite gift was beautiful wooden/marble coasters engraved with my logo. I am absolutely in love with them.

I realize that most people, me included, don’t have a CNC machine, but many retailers have the option of adding logos and personalization to gifts. You can find something similar here and here.

He used that CNC machine to create a walnut serving tray similar to the one pictured in the green bean bundles post. I can’t tell you how versatile this one is…and the fact that he created it by hand has made it a favorite.

But, this one…this heart gift truly stole my heart. Seriously.

As I lifted it out of the package, tears began to flow…

My logo was in the center of that round serving piece. Around the edges he had engraved…”Feet under my table, laughs in my living room, stories in my heart, memories in the making, tears in my eyes.”

Here it is with a lid…oh, how I love it.

Isn’t it the most beautiful heart gift? So many options can be found here.

2. I fell in love with this next heart gift.

My husband knows my love for anything to use for baking. He found an amazing rolling pin on Etsy that allowed you to design the engraving on the pin so that when you roll out pie crust, cookies, etc., the design would be set into the dough. Here’s a site for finding one if you have someone in your life who needs it…

Be still my heart! And I’ll be sharing how I used this one soon! Keep watching!

3. My other son and wife also gifted me with the most amazing of heart gifts.

Yep!

Tissues were required when I opened each one.

The first gift was a sterling necklace that had my logo created as the pendant.

Oh, my! On it went and it has barely been off of my body.

I am soooo in love with it!

The next gift that I opened from them was a beautiful prayer journal.

I was overwhelmed. I am in love with it! You can find the version here that they purchased for me.

4. Dried Flowers heart gifts.

Remember the post where I shared with you the DIY for drying flowers? I placed them in hanging clear frames and gifted them as a remembrance of flowers that some had sent to us for my sister in law’s funeral.

5. Personalized door mats.

Now, my husband has become the Cricut king at our house. You know he comes up with the BEST heart gift ideas like my spice cabinet…and my plate rack…right?

So, he decided he needed to create some “special” personalized doormats. I’ll have a tutorial soon on his method; but, my he had so much fun creating and gifting them.

Here’s a couple that he created:

So, what do you think?

I always give lots of other heart gifts–especially baked items for family and neighbors. But, those that I shared with you are simply a few of my favorites.

Thank you so very much for joining me this week at the table…I truly wish your feet were under mine today.

Happy Gifting, friends! Birthdays and Valentine’s Day are happening soon that require a bit of creativity! I’d love to know your favorite heart gifts…Can you share those with me in the comments?
