Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) 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.
2) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
