3. Family Tree Frame
This personalized family tree frame is a great gift for your family or friends, they can even make a really good gift for newlyweds! Not only is it a different take on the traditional family tree idea, but it can also be personalized to include the inner family or a more extended version of it, even pets and other loved ones that make up your chosen family as well. We all have that one friend who is like a sister from another mister or a brother from another mother.
If you are crafty enough you can try to make this yourself. However, you have to be very careful with the woodworking tools and with the woodburning device when you write in the names. It’s a pretty dangerous DIY if it is your first try and sometimes these devices can be a bit more pricey to just use once. If that is the case, you can always find them online, as they are pretty popular and there are a lot of small shops that specialize in them.
They are a hidden gem though, as not many know about them, and it would be a great decoration for your loved ones’ homes!
