Presents for People You Don’t Know Very Well: Trader Joe’s Olive Wood Cutting Boards and Bowls

November 15th, 2017 by Karen 8 Comments

I mean, let’s get real. Sometimes you have to give a gift to someone you don’t know very well. Something that says, “Hey, you’re cool, and I appreciate you. Have a wonderful holiday.” I think these Olive Wood Cutting Boards and Bowls from TJ’s would be great for those situations.

The boards are $11.99, and the bowls are $5.99 each, and they have just the right amount of individuality and usefulness, without costing an arm and a leg. They’re perfect for people you’re still getting to know, like a new neighbor or co-worker, or a boss, or a new friend. (Someone you get along with but don’t share inside jokes with yet.)

They kinda look like traditional Hawaiian koa wood bowls…

I think they’re super cool. Every one its own unique character. I wouldn’t mind if someone gifted me one or two, ha!

I spotted them by the checkout stand the other day, but it was after I’d already paid. If they’re still there when I go back this week, I’m grabbing a few. I have a feeling they won’t be around very long.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I got my stepdad an olive wood cutting board for Christmas last year! Not from TJ’s, but these look nice too!

    These would be great gifts! And who doesn’t need cutting boards? Maybe it’s just me but I find they are such a pain to keep clean/unstained.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
