Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Hazel Mittens
The Hazel Mittens are warm and cozy with an array of detailed hand-embroidered flowers and vines in bold and bright color combinations. Inspired by a pair 1950s Norwegian Mittens, your hands will stay toasty and warm in these fully fleece-lined woolen mittens. Each item is handcrafted by female artisans in Nepal and are hand-knit, hand-dyed, and hand-spun with high-quality yarns.
2) Recycled Magnetic Locket
Handcrafted indie style locket (1" diameter) made from recycled steel auto parts. Adjustable 30" long ball chain. Set includes 3 interchangeable lid designs. Packaged in round metal tin and tucked into natural cotton drawstring bag, perfect for gift giving or storage. Wish Design/Six Cats
3) Wood-Framed Custom Map Serving Tray
A custom map serving tray keeps the memory of a special place—a first home, stand-out vacation, or wedding—close to you. A location from anywhere in the United States and the nine square mile-surrounding area are featured on the map. A compass rose will mark the exact spot and the map’s legend can be customized, too. Made in Rhode Island with Indian mango wood.
4) Riveted Cardholder
These American made wallets are handcrafted from a single piece of premium vegetable-tanned leather and secured with metal fasteners. Made without thread stitching and built to last.
5) Hand Cut Monogram Stemless Wine Glass - Set of 4
The classic Monogram on these personalized wine 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.
