About Us

Gifts N' Wood is a place for you to find new and unique gifts for any occasion.

Gifts N' Wood is not the place to find the “rock bottom” price on a similar gift you have found at your local discount store. All of our gifts are hand made from the best hardwoods from around the world as well as right here in Georgia and they are not “stamped out” in lots of 1000 at a time. Each gift is unique. Here at Gifts N' Wood we pay attention to craftsmanship, detail, and pleasing YOU, our customer.

Jim Houston has been a woodworker for over 20 years and has built items for his home as well as making gifts for friends for Christmas and birthdays. Active in his local church, he began giving Christmas Ornaments made from hardwoods to members of a music ensemble that he directed. From that small beginning, he has given ornaments to many different people over the years.

Now you have the opportunity to give a unique gift made from a beautiful wood that comes from places like Brazil , Africa, Bethlehem in the Holy Land, and other places around the world as well as right here in Georgia . Each gift that you purchase will come with the details of where the wood in your gift is found and a few of its characteristics. Also, any gift made from Olivewood from Bethlehem in the Holy Land will come with a certificate of authenticity.

Using the Wood Lathe and the Scroll Saw, Jim makes fine gift items for every gift giving occasion. Items for the kitchen include Pepper Grinders, Trivets, and distinctive Wooden Bowls. A fine Pen from an exotic wood makes a fine gift for the executive, graduate, or that special birthday person in your life. Ladies love an unusual gift and our Perfume Pens from exotic woods allows her to take a touch-up of her favorite fragrance with her without having to “spray” the entire room. A clock to sit on your desk, a confetti light to add that special touch to any room, word art to sit around to help “lighten” the burdens of the day, or even a special framed art piece of you favorite scripture verse makes a great gift for that “hard to buy for” person in your life.

** Whatever the occasion, a distinctive Gift N' Wood makes it a special and unique celebration **
