Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Alembic Copper Still
Home distilling is easy—and attractive—with this striking copper and brass still. Handcrafted with care by artisans in India for fair wages, the design is fashioned after the ancient alembic still. While not in use making batches of brandy, whiskey, and other spirits (you can even use it to make essential oils!), it serves as a striking piece of home décor.
2) Connection Orb
You are Seen. You are Heard. You are Loved. This Ornament is about connection. Throughout our lives we create meaningful connections by letting the people around us know that they are seen, heard and loved. The band in the center connecting the two colors represents how beautiful it can be to reach out and connect with others. When we do, something new and beautiful occurs. These connections add depth and color to our lives. Let someone know today that they are seen, heard, loved.
3) Coffee & Palm Charcoal Deodorizer Bag
A natural cotton charcoal deodorizer bag neutralizes unwanted smells in small spaces. Its slender shape is perfect to pop in spots like a closet, near pet beds, by the trash can, or any place that gets not-so-fresh. Coffee, palm soot charcoal, and other natural ingredients absorb odors for up to three months. Give the bag a shake and a roll to reactivate its neutralizing magic. Chemical- and fragrance-free. Handcrafted in the USA.
4) Small Vertical Personalized Cutting Board
This personalized cutting board with words makes for a custom gift that is also well-made and functional. Each one is handmade in the USA from maple wood and features a hand-cut expression or name. Whatever words you choose, the care put into creating each board shines through.
5) Sand Etched Latitude and Longitude Pint Glass
Let these personalized pint glasses serve as an everyday reminder of a special place. Send Susquehanna Glass Company any location coordinates, and they’ll create glasses just for you. The Latitude and 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.
