Top 5 Thoughtful Gifts
1) The Wand™ Wine Purifier
PureWine: The Wand™ Wine Filter - 30 Pack
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) Floral Cotton Oven Mitt
India & Purry by Jessica Hollander: Floral Cotton Oven Mitt - White Poppies on Grey
5) Cross-Back Denim Apron
This denim apron takes a utilitarian approach to keeping you clean in the kitchen. Pure cotton denim is the aprons’ durable base, and there are perfectly-sized pockets for a notebook and pens. The cross-back construction opens up your range of motion and, because it doesn’t tie around the neck, it creates less stress there during long baking sessions.
