Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Leather Can Sleeve
Oowee: Leather Can Sleeve - Compass Rose
2) Baking Spices Gift Set
Time for a bake-off. This baking spices set takes your cooking in a flavorful new direction. Curio Spice Co.’s signature spice blends combine interesting flavor combinations (pink pepper, rose, and ylang ylang, anyone?) and pair up with tried-and-true baking staples like cinnamon and nutmeg. Recipe cards are included for inspiration and it is all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity.
3) Layered Tassel Necklace
These Jazz Age-inspired necklaces are crafted by artisans in Ecuador in return for a living wage. Two hand dyed, richly colored leather tassels at different lengths make for a layered look, while an açaí seed adds visual interest.
4) Chunky Knit Throw
Go on, curl up. This chunky knit blanket looks and feels oh-so inviting. It’s all about bringing oversized comfort to your space and making an oversized statement, and it does it in spades. The roomy, cozy design is made with super-soft machine knit yarn that’s then knit by hand to get that impossible-to-ignore chunky cable knit finish. This also helps prevent the blanket from pilling and pulling, no matter how often you end up curled up under it.
5) Hand Cut Monogram Pint Glass - Set of 4
The classic Monogram on these personalized pint glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
