Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Spinal Alignment Board

Designed by chiropractors, this wooden posture corrector can help realign your spine—and help you reap the benefits of improved posture like core strength, better breathing, and reduced stress. It stretches the muscles surrounding your spine, using just gravity and your own body weight. Choose risers in the height that matches your body type and fitness level.
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) Hometown Love

The Vintage Pearl: Hometown Love Charm - South Dakota
4) Baking Spices Gift Set

Time for a bake-off. This baking spices set takes your cooking in a flavorful new direction. Curio Spice Co.’s signature spice blends combine interesting flavor combinations (pink pepper, rose, and ylang ylang, anyone?) and pair up with tried-and-true baking staples like cinnamon and nutmeg. Recipe cards are included for inspiration and it is all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity.
5) Marina Bracelet

Capture and carry your favorite beach in a custom sand bracelet. Dune Jewelry’s handcrafted sand jewelry encases grains from a special beach, golf course, ballpark, or trail to create a one-of-a-kind accessory. Send them a capsule of your own sand or choose from their collection of over 1, 500 beaches worldwide.
