Top 5 Wooden Gifts
1) Zero Waste Sustainable Starter Kit
This zero-waste sustainable starter kit makes plastic-free living a cinch at home or on the go. An eight-piece bamboo cutlery set, kitchen dish brush, pot scrubber, adult bamboo toothbrush, and expandable French market bag are included. All are reusable and made with eco-friendly materials.
2) USA Beer Cap Trap
Keep track of all your favorite beers, geographically. The Beer Cap Trap is a laser-cut, wooden wall map of the U.S., with holes made to display the caps of memorable brews from all across the country.
3) Wooden Shoot The Moon Tabletop Game
While this nostalgic Wooden Shoot The Moon Tabletop Game originates from the 1940s, it's still incredibly fun and engaging to play today. Simply roll the ball uphill by moving the metal rails back and forth until the ball drops, and the closer it drops to you, the more points you score. The board is crafted from Malaysian oak in a natural stain for a refined aesthetic.
4) Driftwood Phone and Tablet Dock
Docksmith turns unique pieces of driftwood and birch into beautiful, one-of-a-kind chargers for your smartphone or tablet. Scouring forests and beaches all over Maine, Docksmith’s owners personally select the wood and craft the chargers in their personal woodshops.
5) Custom Hometown Map Puzzle
Hometown puzzles are a charming way to celebrate a special place. Made to order and hand-finished in the English countryside, each puzzle features your address and a house-shaped novelty piece (known as a “whimsy”) in the center. Crafted of traditional millboard or wood, every map is a personal puzzle to treasure.
