I once recieved a dress-up dry erase plate as gift and I love it! You can change the ribbon for holidays or seasons or just whatever, but my favorite thing about it is that it doesn't look like a conventional message board. I was helping my mom pick out a present for my sister and we decided on a message board. I searched for ideas and settled on a picture frame because it functions as a dry-erase board and it's cute enough to be artwork.
