Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
2) Compression Cat Box
Whisker+Box: Compression Cat Box - Charcoal with Red Snaps
3) Sand Etched Latitude and Longitude Stemless Wine Glass
Let these personalized wine glasses serve as an everyday reminder of a special place. Send Susquehanna Glass Company any location, and they’ll find the coordinates to create wine glasses just for you. The latitude/longitude design is an exclusive collaboration with us that uses sand etching to leave a clean, crisp finish. Each glass is created in the USA with a keen eye for detail and a strong tradition—over 100 years and counting—of craftsmanship.
4) Rustic Walking Stick
Brazos: Rustic Walking Stick - Red - 55" (5'4" - 5'11")
5) Wooden Tabletop Penny Soccer Game
Take your best shot. This penny soccer table game is a fresh take on an old-school classic. All you need to play is a finger that’s ready to flick and a penny that acts as the soccer ball. The wooden game board is handcrafted in Missouri and is made with the mission to bring families together for a nostalgic (and fun) screen-free game night.
