Corporate Gifting for the Holidays: Cutting Boards That are Engraved and Say “WOW.”
The Season of Appreciation
The holidays are coming fast. It’s the time of year when companies say “thank you.”
Clients, partners, and employees made the year a success. A good gift shows appreciation. A great gift says thank you.
This is why more companies choose engraved cutting boards. They’re personal and practical.
Why Choose Cutting Boards?
Everyone uses a cutting board. It’s one of the most useful items in any kitchen.
Unlike food baskets or gift cards, a solid wood cutting board doesn’t disappear after a week. It becomes part of the home. Every time it’s used, your brand is remembered.
At Wholesale Cutting Boards, our boards are made in Canada from 100% hardwood maple. These premium woods are beautiful and perfect for laser engraving.
Your logo or message isn’t printed — it’s engraved directly into the wood. It never fades.
Engraving Makes It Personal
A custom engraving turns a simple board into a keepsake.
You can engrave your logo, a short thank-you message, or the recipient’s name. It’s simple, clean, and done with taste.
Popular engraving ideas for the holidays:
- “Season’s Greetings from [Your Company Name]”
- “Thank you for being part of our success”
- Logo with a snowflake or holiday design
- Employee name + company logo
Laser engraving gives your brand a professional look — one that says quality and care.
A Gift That Feels Right
Corporate gifts should reflect your company values. Cutting boards do that perfectly.
They show craftsmanship. They promote sustainability. They fit today’s move toward natural, reusable products.
Each board feels solid and authentic — just like the relationships you’ve built with customers and team members.
When you give something made from real Canadian wood, it sends a message: you value quality and you support local makers.
Perfect for Every Type of Recipient
Engraved cutting boards work for almost any business or audience.
- For clients: A thank-you board reminds them of your partnership.
- For employees: It’s a warm way to show appreciation at year-end.
- For suppliers or partners: It says you value the relationship beyond business.
They also work across industries:
- Real estate agents gift them to new homeowners.
- Restaurants send them to loyal customers.
- Corporations give them at holiday parties.
- Small businesses include them in holiday gift baskets.
They’re simple, beautiful, and always useful.
Simple Ways to Elevate the Gift
You don’t have to stop at just the board. Add a few small touches to make the gift complete.
- A small jar of local honey or jam
- A bottle of wine or olive oil
- A holiday ribbon or branded tag
Keep it minimal and thoughtful. The goal is to create a gift that feels personal, not promotional.
Designs That Work for the Holidays
When engraving for the holidays, less is more.
- A small company logo in one corner
- “Season’s Greetings 2025” in a clean font
- Snowflake or maple leaf pattern
- Message engraved on the back with logo on the front
Simple designs stand out and fit any home style — from rustic to modern.
Ordering Tips
Holiday gifting takes planning. If you’re thinking about engraved cutting boards, order early.
- Decide on your message early. The engraving design needs approval before production starts.
- Choose your wood. Maple is light and classic. Cherry adds warmth. Walnut gives a rich tone.
- Order in bulk. You’ll get better pricing and consistent results.
- Add packaging. A simple box, tissue wrap, or ribbon can make a big difference.

Real Examples That Work
Here’s how other businesses use engraved cutting boards for their corporate gifts:
- A real estate firm engraved each board with “Welcome Home” and the agent’s logo. Clients shared photos online.
- A catering company sent engraved boards to top customers with a note: “Thanks for being part of our table this year.”
- A manufacturing company gave boards to employees at their holiday party — engraved with “Thank you for helping us build success.”
In each case, the gift was useful, memorable, and proudly displayed.
Why It Works
Corporate gifting isn’t about spending the most money. It’s about meaning.
An engraved cutting board connects your brand to a daily ritual — cooking, gathering, sharing. It’s the kind of gift that stays.
People don’t forget who gave it to them. They use it, see your logo, and think of your company with appreciation.
That’s smart marketing — and genuine gratitude rolled into one.

Skip the generic baskets. Choose a gift that reflects who you are — thoughtful, practical, and built to last.
