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) Beach Bangle
Capture and carry your favorite beach in a custom sand bangle. Dune Jewelry’s handcrafted sand jewelry encases grains from a special beach, golf course, ballpark, or trail to create a one-of-a-kind accessory. Send them a capsule of your own sand or choose from their collection of over 1, 500 beaches worldwide.
3) Featherweight Arc Earring

4) CBD Skin Repair Salve Stick
A full spectrum of relief from CBD salve that works to repair dry, cracked skin, or help minor cuts, bites, and rashes feel better. Organic, broad-spectrum CBD is packed with antioxidants that help it target inflammation, and it can help quell anxiety, too. There's nothing harsh in here, but plenty of natural skin-pleasers like beeswax, shea butter, and tea tree oil to hydrate, nourish, and soothe skin. Made in the USA.
5) Self-Standing Coconut Palm Broom
Sweep up outdoors with a coconut palm broom that makes quick work of dirt, leaves, and even light snow. It’s lightweight, durable, and has adjustable bristles that can expand and compact back down. This efficient broom can even stand up by itself between patio, walkway and more clean-up jobs.
