Top 5 Christmas Gifts
1) 2-in-1 Golf Ball Marker & Divot Tool
This two-in-one golf tool bears the map of a special location so you can always have it close—even when you’re on the course. It’s Made in Maine and combines a pewter ball marker and a divot tool that magnetically connect.
2) Chunky Knit Throw
Go on, curl up. This chunky knit blanket looks and feels oh-so inviting. It’s all about bringing oversized comfort to your space and making an oversized statement, and it does it in spades. The roomy, cozy design is made with super-soft machine knit yarn that’s then knit by hand to get that impossible-to-ignore chunky cable knit finish. This also helps prevent the blanket from pilling and pulling, no matter how often you end up curled up under it.
3) Handmade Flat Candle
Flatyz: Handmade Holiday Flat Candle - Winter Birds
4) Electric Chainsaw Carving Knife
This electric carving knife gets the party started, whether it’s Thanksgiving or another get-together. An ergonomic handle gives you comfort and control, and stainless-steel blades slice through meat, bread, fruit and more. Blades are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
5) Eclipse Minimalist Watch
The ZIIIRO Eclipse watch takes a bold approach to telling time. The standout watch face forgoes numbers and the typical hands, and instead uses black and white to mark the passing of time. A stainless steel casing and strap, along with water-resistant quartz movement, make this head-turning timepiece a substantially-built one, too.
