knotty blocks :: personalized gifts for every occasion {giveaway}


I’m always looking for those little “finishing touches” on any project. I LOVE etsy for this! You can just plop down in a chair and start surfing and you are SURE to find what you are looking for. OR…what you didn’t know you wanted to find…but sure enough you find it and fall in love.

That was what happened when I found Knotty Blocks. Not only are the items fantastic and fun, but the quality and PRICE is awesome!

Here is a little about the company:

“Our products are all handcrafted. We make generic products as well as completely customized pieces. Add your favorite family photo, corporate logo, slogan, child’s name, special events or dates, sports teams or quotes. We stand behind our handcrafted products. They truly are keepsakes, heirlooms and memories.”

And memories for sure they do create. I have received so many compliments already! Take a look at a few of the other items offered:

    I really like the Owl Always love You stacker blocks. The girl version matches my upcoming arrival’s nursery perfectly!
