Top 5 Thoughtful Gifts
1) 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.
2) Neck Pain Relief Device
The Neck Hammock is a cervical traction device created by a physical therapist that helps you gently stretch out the muscles in your neck to provide a dose of relief from aches, kinks, and pain. It’s easy to use and is adjustable to hang at the right height from a doorknob or railing. It packs up for on-the-go use, too, so you can enjoy a relaxing stretch just about anywhere.
3) Stainless Steel Wine Chiller
Pop a chilled bottle into this stainless steel wine chiller—like rosé, champagne, or even sparkling water—to keep it at a perfectly cool temperature for hours. No trips to the fridge or cooler needed, thanks to double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that also eliminates drippy condensation. Makes a great wedding or shower gift. Cheers to that.
4) Japanese Welcome Fish Soap
Japanese soap shaped like a supersized fish makes for a meaningful (and eye-catching) gift. The red snapper symbolizes good fortune and luck in Japanese culture and this sweet-smelling one is made with a traditional wooden mold by one of Japan’s oldest soap makers. Give one as a unique token of thanks or good luck, or hang one up in your own shower.
5) Buoy Bells
