With Christmas fast approaching, the hunt for affordable yet thoughtful presents is on, and one savvy shopper has shared a DIY gift idea from Home Bargains that is taking the internet by storm.
The Viral DIY Gift Idea
Shopper Becky Lane, posting on TikTok as @itsbeckylane, demonstrated how she created a 'brilliant' and 'perfect' present for under £6. The gift is ideal for Secret Santa exchanges or as a small token for a child's teacher, combining affordability with a personal touch.
Becky's creation started with a Nordic Spirit Marble Board costing £3.99. She then paired it with a selection of wooden kitchen utensils from the retailer. The result was a charming gift set that would appeal to anyone who enjoys cooking or entertaining.
After assembling the items, she finished the present with a bow, proving that a beautifully presented gift doesn't have to break the bank.

Becky's video quickly amassed 30,000 views and hundreds of likes, with many viewers praising the simple yet effective idea.
One enthusiastic fan commented, 'Absolutely love this idea, will definitely have to get that board.' Becky replied, confirming the board's appeal by saying, 'It's a brilliant cutting board.'
Another viewer suggested an enhancement, writing, 'I might add cheese and crackers and make a board,' while others simply expressed their admiration with comments like, 'Love this!'
