Personalized Town and Zip Code Cutting Board – Custom Engraved Serving Board & Housewarming Gift

The Hometown Keepsake Board is a personalized cutting and serving board created to honor the places that shape us—the streets we walked, the homes we built, and the communities we carry with us. Thoughtfully designed for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, and meaningful milestones, it transforms a simple address into a lasting heirloom.

Crafted from premium North American hardwood and engraved in our Redding, Connecticut studio, each board features your town name, state, and zip code, accompanied by a carefully chosen phrase. Our traditional “Home Sweet Home” inscription remains a beloved favorite, though every piece may be personalized to reflect your own words and sentiments.

For an added layer of meaning, optional reverse-side engraving allows for private messages, dates, or dedications—creating a keepsake as individual as the story it represents.

Each board is designed, engraved, and finished entirely in-house. Every hardwood blank is selected for its natural grain, strength, and warmth, then engraved with precision and sealed with a food-safe, USA-made mineral oil finish to preserve its character and longevity. Every piece is carefully inspected before leaving our studio.

Designed to serve both beauty and purpose, The Hometown Keepsake Board is durable enough for daily use and refined enough for display. Whether resting on a kitchen counter, hanging in a dining space, or presented as a gift, it stands as a quiet reminder of where one’s story began—and where it continues.

Whether gifted to celebrate a new home, commemorate a wedding, or honor a cherished hometown, The Hometown Keepsake Board reflects Créé à la main’s commitment to thoughtful design, honest materials, and enduring craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does production take?
Individual board orders typically ship within three business days when the selected board style is in stock. Because all engraving and finishing is done in-house, we’re able to maintain reliable turnaround for both individual gifts and larger coordinated orders. Lead times for branded or multi-recipient projects are confirmed in advance.

Do you support bulk and multi-recipient orders?
Yes. We regularly coordinate multi-name and volume orders for real estate teams, corporate clients, event planners, and retail partners, with consistent layouts and presentation across every piece.

Can you include logos, branding, or custom inserts?
Yes. Custom cards, branded inserts, and select packaging elements are available for qualifying orders. We’ll work with you to make sure everything fits the intended presentation.

How should the board be cared for?
Boards should be hand washed only and not soaked or placed in a dishwasher. Occasional conditioning with food-safe oil will help maintain the wood over time. A care guide is included with every order.
