Sorry this wasn't posted yesterday. We didn't have internet service in my area.
There are so many neat things you can do with your own chalkboard, from writing notes to let family know where you are going to acting as a pill reminder. A small brightly colored item would be great to give someone in the hospital and leave by the bedside. This way they can let people know how they are doing and visitors can leave notes of encouragement.
You can make your own chalk board paint, in any color you like, by mixing together 1 cup paint and 2 T non sanded grout. I just purchased some at Home Depot-small size was less than $5. Paint it on, lightly sand when dry and get out the chalk. Check thrift stores for old trays, vases and other items that you can paint and leave a message. In your local craft store, and even places like Walmart, look for wooden die cuts. Paint with your favorite color, drill a hole if needed, and make reusable gift tags.
