Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Handmade Flat Candle
Flatyz: Handmade Holiday Flat Candle - Winter Birds
2) Wood-Framed Custom Map Serving Tray
A custom map serving tray keeps the memory of a special place—a first home, stand-out vacation, or wedding—close to you. 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. Made in Rhode Island with Indian mango wood.
3) Small Horizontal 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.
4) Molecule Science Necklace
A handcrafted science necklace is a striking way to make a subtle statement. Molecules star in these chemistry-inspired pieces created by a science teacher. Each bears a scientifically accurate—and lovely-looking—compound in stainless steel. It’s a slyly personal piece with meaning explained in an included card. Give one as a dose of something needed or to showcase a love of all things science. Made in the USA.
