Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Stainless Steel Fingernail Clipper

Grooming tools from Seki Edge are superior in ability and durability. Crafted in the mountains of Japan, these tools represent a centuries-old heritage of excellence passed down from samurai sword makers.
2) Kid's Cotton Canvas Indoor Play Tent

Role Play: Kid's Cotton Canvas Indoor Play Tent - Log Cabin
3) Non-Stick Oven Crisper Basket

NoStik: Non-Stick Oven Crisper Basket - Large
4) Natural Coconut Oil Deodorant

Feel (and smell) fresh, all day long. Coconut oil deodorant skips the common nasty ingredients in favor of natural ones and is long-lasting, effective, and gentle on skin. Baking soda neutralizes odors, coconut oil thwarts bacteria, and arrowroot powder absorbs moisture. Essential oils round out the formula with fresh, light scents, or opt for unscented where magnesium does the odor-neutralizing job. Made in the USA.
5) LOFTi + DUO Drying Rack

A perfect pair. LOFTi is a clothes-drying rack that suspends from the ceiling by an easy-to-use pulley system. DUO can hang virtually anywhere and can even break down into separate components that can attach onto the ends of LOFTi.
