Available in Michaels and/or Hobby Lobby.

I recently bought the 2 foot by 3 foot mat for $22.00 with the 60 off coupon. It had a regular price of 54.99.

I got mine at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon.  It's self healing, has 1 inch squares for measuring, although some of mine have been worn off from usage and chemicals.

They’re like really hard vinyl or rubber. They can be trimmed to size. I bought mine from Tower Hobbies.

I think I got mine in the sewing section of Walmart.  I have had it so long I do not remember.  And if you spill MEK on it the pretty white lines disappear.

I use something different that may be a consideration if you think it would serve the same purpose. Bed Bath and Beyond has a Kitchen Tools section where I found a hard plastic like Cutting Mat. The original design is to be used as a Cutting Board in the kitchen much like the old wooden cutting boards. The edges are covered with a nonskid rubber and there is a drip try built in around the edges also. This is great for holding small parts and keeping knives from rolling off the board.  The board will self repair to a point and can be used on either side. They are offered in several different sizes and I bet your wife even has a discount coupon laying around. I have been using mine for more than 10 years and I don't think I will ever have to replace it so it is durable in that respect.

I bought one at Hobby Lobby with the 40% coupon. They were out of them in the hobby section but they had the same ones in different colors in the sewing area.
