Pretty wood and shiny accessories make for great gifts at Menlo Hardwood

Editor’s note: We’re highlighting holiday gift ideas that can be purchased in Menlo Park. Designated downtown parking lots have extended holiday hours — up to three hours.

Menlo Hardwoods (first profiled last March) is not all about big (and beautiful!) table tops. The store also features a range of gift items, including books, candles, and kitchen accessories. We zeroed in on a “crooked maple” cutting board ($72) and Serafina Brass cheese knives ($79).
