A Mini Bar Cutting Board for Cocktails, Garnishes, and Girls’ Nights

A great gift for the friend who always has the most to say, this lips cutting board is a mini bar board with a pair of lips cut right out of the wood. It's sized for slicing limes and lemons for a round of cocktails, then holding a few bites while everyone catches up. It'll make her laugh when she opens it, and it's useful enough that it stays out on the bar cart.

Why This Lips Cutting Board Is So Lovable

  • The lips are cut right out of the board, so the design goes all the way through instead of sitting on top.
  • It's a working little cutting board. Halve a lemon, slice lime wheels, or prep garnishes without pulling out a full-size board.
  • It doubles as a tiny serving board for olives, cheese, or a few chocolates next to the drinks.
  • Choose maple, which is light and modern, or cherry, which warms to a deeper red over time. Both are sustainably forested American hardwoods.

Picture the drinks coming together at the counter: a bowl of limes, a muddler, and this board in the middle of it all. Slice the garnishes, pour the round, then leave it out with a few snacks while the conversation takes over. We promise it won't give you any lip.

Every lips board is made in our Hampden woodshop in Baltimore from sustainably forested maple or cherry. The lips are cut out of the board, and then one of our artisans sands it smooth. And because we plant a tree in the U.S. for every cutting board we sell, your gift gives back a little, too.

One group of friends ordered a set of these as favors for their girls' weekend. They said the lips stood for how much they had to catch up on. It's just as fun as a birthday gift for her, a bachelorette favor, or a hostess gift for the friend who throws the best cocktail parties. For another board that belongs at the bar, see our Happy Hour board.

Make It Yours

Add a name, a nickname, or a short message, laser engraved in our Baltimore woodshop on the front of the board. It's a great way to commemorate a girls' weekend. The personalized board in our photos says "Girl's Weekend 2021." Order one for each friend, and everyone takes a little piece of the trip home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bar board?

A bar board is a small cutting board that lives at the bar instead of in the kitchen. It's sized for slicing limes, lemons, and oranges and prepping garnishes, so you don't have to pull out a full-size board to make a drink. It also works as a little serving board for cheese or snacks.

What size should a bar cutting board be?

Small enough to stay out on the bar or bar cart, and big enough to halve a lemon or slice a lime into wheels. A bar cutting board is much smaller than a kitchen cutting board. The Details tab on each product page lists the exact measurements.

Is a wooden board a good hostess gift?

It's one of the easiest gifts to bring to a dinner or holiday gathering. A wooden board gets used long after the party's over, for cheese, bread, or dessert. We never include pricing on the packing slip, so you can also ship it straight to the host.

How do I care for a wooden cutting board?

Hand wash your board with warm water and mild soap, then prop it up so that it dries on all sides (you can also set it on a cookie rack to elevate it from the counter allowing for good air flow). Avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying food-safe mineral oil or board conditioner will help maintain its beauty and prevent the wood from drying out.

How many characters can I personalize?

The personalization field on this page shows the maximum length, and it varies by product and size. Not sure your wording will fit? Email or text us before you order and we'll help you find a layout that looks great.

Can I cut on an engraved cutting board?

Yes, it's a working cutting board, so you can chop on it as well as serve from it. Wash it by hand afterward and stand it upright to dry.

Perfect girls weekend favor/goft

We got the lips mini boards as special gifts for our girls weekend. A meaningful choice because we felt the lips represented how much we had to talk about catching up with each other’s lives. We had them personalized which made them unique and will remind us of the weekend for years to come. Everyone loved them!
