Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Wave Necklace
Capture and carry your favorite beach in a custom sand necklace. Dune’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.
2) Dopp Kit
This dopp kit keeps accessories organized in a sturdy, stylish way. Artistic on the outside and water-resistant on the inside, striking motifs are matched with practical functionality. Made in New York and ready to go wherever, these handy bags are the perfect size for globetrotters.
3) Custom Map Coasters with Stand
Custom map coasters crafted from marble keep the memory of a special place—a first home, stand-out vacation, or wedding—close to you. Turkish marble is tumbled to make it one-of-a-kind, and 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. Cast iron holder included. Made in Rhode Island.
4) Travel Journal Wallet
American Bench Craft: Travel Journal Wallet - Tan Leather & Solid Brass Rivets
5) 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.
