Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Homemade Sauce & Mayonnaise Maker
Making homemade mayonnaise couldn’t be easier with the Kilner® Mayonnaise and Sauce Jar set. It only takes about three to four minutes to make fresh mayonnaise that's ready to serve. You can also make aioli, salad dressing, and other sauces using this handy kitchen gadget. The set also includes a two-piece sealing lid to store your homemade creations.
2) Floating Flower Pin Vase
This floating flower vase creates the illusion of blossoms blooming straight up from the ground. The magic comes from brass pins in an acrylic tray that sits in the shallow ceramic vessel. Place a stem on a pin (the wider the better, like gerbera daisies—but not woody stems, like roses) and the flower will take in as much water as it needs—and stand tall in a striking display.
3) Driftwood Phone and Tablet Dock
Docksmith turns unique pieces of driftwood and birch into beautiful, one-of-a-kind chargers for your smartphone or tablet. Scouring forests and beaches all over Maine, Docksmith’s owners personally select the wood and craft the chargers in their personal woodshops.
4) Reclaimed Wood Hanger Frame
This reclaimed wood print hanger is an eco-friendly and timeless way to display your art. Made of repurposed solid oak or walnut, each set includes wooden slats, inlaid magnets, and string for hanging. It’s a lightweight, glass-free, and simple way to let your art shine. Made in Tennessee.
5) Tunnel Shaped Cuddle Pillow
Cuddle up with a pillow that makes getting close more comfortable. The curved design has built-in support that creates a tunnel for an arm to rest in, so it won’t get squashed (or fall asleep) when you’re getting close or sleeping on your side.
