Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Nomad Travel Blanket
Let little ones get wrapped up in a world of adventure and warmth. These organic cotton blankets for kids have an imaginative design—a stitched animal hoodie that folds into a carry pillow. Each one is handcrafted by women in India for fair wages.
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) Brass Pocket Sundial
A brass pocket sundial is both a small work of art and a unique way to tell the time. Crafted in Austria, the sundial works anywhere on Earth and neatly folds up when not in use. It’s a practical way to check the time and an ornamental piece that looks lovely on display.
4) Set of Droplet 5 Disc & Earrings
Colorful glass shapes (like liquid color) are handcrafted by Amy Holms in Orange County California. With a torch she transforms glass into molten liquid color to create modern, clean, lampwork pieces. 5 Droplet Set
