Top 5 Gifts for the Home
1) 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.
2) Microfiber Catching Laundry Ball
Catch microfibers and microplastics from entering your oceans and waterways with this easy-to-use laundry ball. Made in Vermont and designed like coral found in the oceans, this magic laundry ball catches the things the human eye can’t see.
3) Backflow Incense Cones Mixed Gift Pack

4) Adjustable Laptop Sit Stand Desk
Ergonomics are easier with this sit-stand desk. When it’s time to get up, the platform can rise up to 18.6 inches and has adjustable height and tilt settings to give you the perfect working position when you’re on a laptop. Its removable, ambidextrous mouse platform is always level, and its small footprint works in most spaces.
5) Hand Cut Monogram Stemless Wine Glass - Set of 2
The classic Monogram on these personalized wine glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
