Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Self-Standing Coconut Palm Broom
Sweep up outdoors with a coconut palm broom that makes quick work of dirt, leaves, and even light snow. It’s lightweight, durable, and has adjustable bristles that can expand and compact back down. This efficient broom can even stand up by itself between patio, walkway and more clean-up jobs.
2) Etched Leather Map Journal - International Cities
A modern take on an ancient craft, this Made in the USA etched leather notebook cover showcases your favorite international city. The supple leather hides are sourced from a local Milwaukee tannery, then hand cut and laser-engraved with antique, early 20th-century maps of cities around the world. The included Moleskine notebook is replaceable, so you can always carry your thoughts in something beautiful that’s Made for a Lifetime.
3) Chef's Pack Spices Gift Set
Take dishes in a flavorful new direction. This spice gift set includes all eight of Curio Spice Co.’s signature (and one-of-a-kind) blends. The spices are directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity, and the set includes oh-so handy recipe cards to help get you cooking.
