A journey celebrated. A place remembered.
Debbie reached out with a thoughtful idea: a handmade cribbage board for a close friend living in Alaska — someone who has been slowly checking off every state he’s visited. With New Hampshire still on his list and a trip planned in the near future, she wanted a gift that captured the spirit of the place before he ever set foot here.
The result was a board that brings New Hampshire to the table.
The lid is personalized with imagery and details inspired by what the state is known for — a quiet collection of symbols that reflect its character, landscape, and traditions. It’s a piece meant to spark conversation, anticipation, and connection — a reminder that travel isn’t just about destinations, but the stories attached to them.
Built from rich black walnut and designed to be both functional and meaningful, this board blends craftsmanship with intention — a keepsake that celebrates exploration, friendship, and the joy of the game.
