Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Tile™ Smart Location Key Organizer
Meet the first key organizer with Bluetooth tracking technology built right into it. Keysmart Pro syncs with the Tile app on your phone and allows you to track your KeySmart, so you'll never lose track of your keys. Just click "find" in the Tile App and the Keysmart Pro will start ringing. And the alert works both ways—by double clicking the Tile button on your Keysmart, you can find your phone, too.
2) Bamboo Fiber Duvet Cover
Get into bed with bamboo bedding and you might never want to come out. The amazingly soft duvet cover is made from bamboo fibers, which wick away moisture to regulate the temperature of both hot and cold sleepers (even when they’re sleeping together). Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial, anti-mold, anti-fungal, and hypoallergenic—not to mention resistant to dust mites and bed bugs, too.
3) School Years Keepsake Organizer
This display-worthy keepsake container will corral all of the report cards, notes, art work, and endless other bits and pieces that come with school-age kids. There is a place for it all in this thoughtfully designed, cloth-covered storage system. Acid-free folders keep precious mementos protected, and detailed labels will help you easily sort—and later locate—them.
4) Round Lacquer Serving Tray - Lake Labrador
This round serving tray is part piece of art, part table setting. Each is adorned with original works of art then sealed with a high-gloss finish that’s moisture-, alcohol-, and heat-resistant. Concealed side slot handles make it a cinch to carry from the kitchen to the table or patio.
5) Coordination Game - Junior Rainbow
This junior-sized balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic bamboo discs to line up just right.
