Top 5 Thoughtful Gifts
1) Wooden Valet Charging Station
This wood valet tray-meets-charging station is home base for your wallet, watch, keys, phone and more. Handcrafted from sustainably harvested walnut and cherry wood, it also has a built-in charging dock (with cable channel) and speaker-amplifier for richer sound. Empty your pockets and stay organized with this elegant solution.
2) No-Spill Aerating Wine Glass
A spill-proof wine glass that looks as good as it is enjoyable to sip from. Each glass spins on a stainless steel ball, aerating wine—sip by sip—without spilling a drop. (It looks pretty cool, too.) Want to slow things down? Oak coasters hold a glass upright and still. Made in the USA.
3) Brass Pocket Sundial
A brass pocket sundial is both a small work of art and a unique way to tell the time. Crafted in Austria, the sundial works anywhere on Earth and neatly folds up when not in use. It’s a practical way to check the time and an ornamental piece that looks lovely on display.
4) State Wind Bell

5) Wine Sulfite Purifier & Aerator
The Üllo wine purifier targets sulfites that can potentially cause unwanted side effects (for you) and alter taste (for your wine). Sulfites work as a preservative to keep wine fresh until the cork is popped. They can cause things like a stuffy nose for some people and even affect a wine’s flavor. Just pour a glass (or bottle) of wine through the sulfite capture filter and enjoy. Wine is now in its purest, preservative-free form. If you’re sipping a red, the filter can serve as an aerator, too.
