Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Lacquer-Embossed Leather Key Case - Black
This leather key case is carefully handmade in Japan by artisans who practice traditional methods that date back to 1582. Originally used as a way to decorate and boost the durability of leather pieces on Samurai armor, lacquer is embossed onto supple deerskin leather for a beautiful layer of protection. The intricate design gives the case a distinctive finish and makes one a gift rich in history.
2) Rustic Walking Stick
Brazos: Rustic Walking Stick - Red - 55" (5'4" - 5'11")
3) Goat Milk Soap - Set of 2
The key to cleaning hard-working hands? Goat milk soap that is handcrafted in small batches on a family farm. This set of made-in-California soaps combines goat milk with other natural ingredients like olive oil and ground walnut shells for exfoliation. The soap gets tough on epoxy, grease, and other stubborn, stuck-on messes while leaving hands moisturized. It’s great for gardeners, mechanics, DIY-ers, or anyone who wants a natural and effective way to wash up.
4) Travel Journal Wallet
American Bench Craft: Travel Journal Wallet - Tan Leather & Solid Brass Rivets
5) Sand Jewel Stud Earrings
Carry sand from a special beach in a one-of-a-kind accessory—hand-sanded and trimmed with sterling silver for a domed, gem-like finish. Choose from a collection of sand from over 1, 500 beaches worldwide or send your own grains from a beach, golf course, ballpark, or trail.
