It's just a small thing, but maybe this is an idea for those who want to give something personal but have little time. Buy an unvarnished wooden item, eg. a tray, mini cabinet, box, tray, or toy and decorate it yourself with (beautiful) markers. With a name on it, you have quickly made a personal and special gift. 

It doesn't always have to be paint! Nowadays, many markers are waterproof and smudge-proof, so simply wipe off with a slightly damp cloth. With a marker, you can draw and draw more beautiful lines than a paint brush. If the item remains inside, topcoat is also not necessary at all. 

From a wooden rocking star, bought in the store, I just made with waterproof markers, slightly different. A small addition, and it's quite another thing. My girl next door had a birthday (she turned 8) and she is a real star!

I use these quality markers from the Faber Castell brand almost everywhere. They are expensive markers, but you really enjoy them for years. They don't dry out, even if you forget to put the cap on. They all have a B on it, that's from Brushpen: they have a soft brush tip! And no, I don't have shares, but I'm just really excited about this set, which I've had for a long time. So highly recommended!
