These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Small Gifts
1) Crown Jewels Ring Holder
Even queens need someplace safe to stash their jewels. This crown-shaped metal catch-all is the perfect place to deposit jewelry, or even odds and ends like hair ties or loose change. Handcrafted from aluminum, each dish is sand-cast and hand-polished to shine, while serving as a piece of whimsical home décor, too.
2) Bathing Petal Flower Soap
A'marie's Bath Flower Shop: Bathing Petal Flower Soap - Holiday Berry
3) Turtle Angel Locket
Create a sense of protection or remember a loved one with an angel locket necklace. Instead of a picture inside, this filigree-like locket holds a chime ball. It makes a subtle, light chime that serves as a gentle reminder of the spirit of someone special. Customize the locket by choosing the color of the ball—pick one with a special meaning or just your favorite color.
4) Personal Teapot & Cup Set
Tea for two? More like personal tea party for one. This simple and sophisticated teapot and cup set is made up of a compact brewing pot with a built-in strainer and a lid that pulls double duty as a cup. The modern-looking set is sized to brew one steep of tea and is a great gift for tea lovers who don’t feel like sharing, but do feel like making the next cup extra special.
5) Japanese Welcome Fish Soap
Japanese soap shaped like a supersized fish makes for a meaningful (and eye-catching) gift. The red snapper symbolizes good fortune and luck in Japanese culture and this sweet-smelling one is made with a traditional wooden mold by one of Japan’s oldest soap makers. Give one as a unique token of thanks or good luck, or hang one up in your own shower.
