Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Custom Date Moon Phase Necklace - Classic Design
Hang the moon around your neck. A moon phase necklace captures the moon from any date and places it into a pewter necklace full of meaning. Choose a special date—like a birthday or anniversary—to keep special occasions and dates close to you. A tiny black crystal lends a touch of sparkle to the antiqued, vintage-inspired design.
2) Personalized Leather Drink Sleeves
Oowee: Personalized Leather Whiskey Glass Sleeve - Set of 2
3) Tyvek® Printed Watch
I Like Paper water-resistant watches are a surprisingly durable new take on a typical timepiece. Lightweight, flexible, tear-proof, and water-resistant Tyvek® paper is the recyclable foundation for the fun watches that are all handmade in Berlin, Germany. Artist- and illustrator-designed patterns pack each one with personality and charm.
4) Regatta Key Ring
Display a customized map with the Regatta Key Ring. Whether you choose your hometown or a far away city, it will serve as a lovely reminder of a place that's close to your heart.
5) Custom Hometown Map Puzzle
Hometown puzzles are a charming way to celebrate a special place. Made to order and hand-finished in the English countryside, each puzzle features your address and a house-shaped novelty piece (known as a “whimsy”) in the center. Crafted of traditional millboard or wood, every map is a personal puzzle to treasure.
