Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Birthday Mason Jar Candle
This birthday candle in a jar is a thoughtful token that lasts long after the celebration. It’s Made in the USA with hand-poured soy wax and a cotton wick that makes for cleaner and longer-lasting burn time—around 40 hours. These birthday wishes smell great, too, thanks to a blend of essential oils that gives this candle a light scent that won’t distract from the heartfelt message it bears.
2) Octofit Exercise System
Kinetikos Lifestyle: Octofit Exercise System
3) Quarto Wooden Puzzle Board Game
Quarto is a stately-looking game that relies on your powers of observation. Easy to understand and quick to play, the goal is to identify commonalities in game pieces to place four in a row. The twist? Your opponent selects your pieces. Crafted with wood, it’s a treat to both play and display.
4) Personalized Map Housewarming Art
This custom-made picture art lets you celebrate a new home or pay tribute to your first one. It’s carefully handmade with cut and layered paper that uses maps to artfully zero in on your special location. The finished result is an eye-catching and deeply personal ready-to-display memento.
5) Handheld Spice Grinder
CrushGrind’s spice grinder makes quick work of crushing dried spices to infuse your cooking with fresher flavors and aromas of things like fennel, cardamom, and other spices. The handheld tool stores upside down to avoid any leftover spices spilling out. The ceramic grinding mechanism inside is more durable and longer-lasting than a steel one, won’t dull with use, and is guaranteed to last for 25 years.
