2) Hazel Mittens
The Hazel Mittens are warm and cozy with an array of detailed hand-embroidered flowers and vines in bold and bright color combinations. Inspired by a pair 1950s Norwegian Mittens, your hands will stay toasty and warm in these fully fleece-lined woolen mittens. Each item is handcrafted by female artisans in Nepal and are hand-knit, hand-dyed, and hand-spun with high-quality yarns.
3) Carved Wood Smartphone Stand

4) 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.
5) 2 Phone Driftwood Charging 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.
