Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) New England Spice Gift Set
Down east flavors from a spice gift set inspired by (and sourced from) New England. The set includes two of Curio Spice Co.’s signature spice blends along with Maine sea salt. It’s all directly sourced from farms and growers to ensure freshness and purity, and comes with recipe cards to help you get cooking.
2) Alembic Copper Still
Home distilling is easy—and attractive—with this striking copper and brass still. Handcrafted with care by artisans in India for fair wages, the design is fashioned after the ancient alembic still. While not in use making batches of brandy, whiskey, and other spirits (you can even use it to make essential oils!), it serves as a striking piece of home décor.
3) Custom Hometown Map Puzzle
Hometown puzzles are a charming way to celebrate a special place. Made to order and hand-finished in the English countryside, each puzzle features your address and a house-shaped novelty piece (known as a “whimsy”) in the center. Crafted of traditional millboard or wood, every map is a personal puzzle to treasure.
4) Iconic State Wall Art
Point Two Design: Iconic State Wall Art - Utah - 12" x 18"
5) Thin Copper Quote Cuff
Engraved metal bracelets bearing timeless quotes serve as both beautiful jewelry and wearable, everyday inspiration. Each piece is hand made in Vermont with copper sourced from the U.S., and has a slightly rustic, natural-looking feel. Choose a quote to act as an inspiration, a reminder of love, or to make you smile.
