Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Custom Made Serving Tray
Functional art for your home, boat, or cottage. A bathymetric representation of your favorite lake or coastal area, including roads and local details. Choose from over 6, 000 maps currently available.
2) Decorative Glass Pumpkin
Kitras Art Glass: Decorative Glass Pumpkin - Round White - 4"
3) Hand Cut Monogram Pint Glass - Set of 4
The classic Monogram on these personalized pint glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
4) Leather Toiletry Bag
This handcrafted leather toiletry bag locks grooming products in place with a sturdy zipper. The boxy tote stacks when full and a durable hanger strap makes it at home on any bathroom hook. Liquids and gels can get messy in transit, but a water-resistant liner cleans easily if there’s a spill.
5) Lacquer-Embossed Leather Coin Purse
This leather coin purse 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 designs give the purse a distinctive finish and makes one a gift rich in history.
