Top 5 Gifts For Friends
1) Honeycomb Fortune Locket
Slip some words of wisdom into this intricately patterned fortune locket. The brass and gold-dipped honeycomb design frames your note beautifully—where you and others can enjoy it. Place your own fortune inside or wear the one we’ve hand-selected; the clasp makes it easy to swap out. The sentiment behind them is reminiscent of the classic, heirloom-y locket you might inherit and slip an old photo into—except these necklaces encourage you to look into the future as much as the past.
2) Wooden Yard Games
Yard Games: Wooden Yard Games - Giant Tumbling Timbers
3) Personalized Premium Kubb Game Set
Try your hand at Kubb, a traditional Scandinavian game that's said to have been played by Vikings. The objective: topple an opponent's blocks by tossing a dowel at them. It’s simple but engaging fun that anyone can join in. Add a personalization to make for a truly one-of-a-kind set.
4) Intention Bracelet
Wishbeads: Intention Bracelet - Rose Quartz (Love & Forgiveness)
5) Book Themed Lightweight Scarf
Wrap a book lover (maybe that’s you!) in a literary scarf bearing the words from a classic piece of literature. The square scarves are handcrafted in Oregon with screen-printed text that’s heat-set to help prevent fading. Each scarf beautifully celebrates a book or poem in soft, durable, and lightweight cotton jersey.
