Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Goat Milk Soap - Set of 2
The key to cleaning hard-working hands? Goat milk soap that is handcrafted in small batches on a family farm. This set of made-in-California soaps combines goat milk with other natural ingredients like olive oil and ground walnut shells for exfoliation. The soap gets tough on epoxy, grease, and other stubborn, stuck-on messes while leaving hands moisturized. It’s great for gardeners, mechanics, DIY-ers, or anyone who wants a natural and effective way to wash up.

3) Custom Map Clock with Easel
A custom map clock crafted from marble keeps the memory of a special place—a first home, stand-out vacation, or wedding—alive while it keeps the time. Turkish marble is tumbled to make it one-of-a-kind, and a location from anywhere in the United States and the nine square mile-surrounding area are featured on the map. A compass rose will mark the exact spot and the map’s legend can be customized, too. Cast iron easel included. Made in Rhode Island.
4) Copper Barman's Set
This pure copper barware set is created with 1, 000 years of tradition. Each piece is handcrafted in Mexico, where the method originated. The result is a hammered surface that shines with rich history. With a full set of implements—jigger, shaker, and a tray—you are ready to impress the crowd at cocktail hour.
