Top 5 Gifts For Couples
1) Original Round Cutting Board
The wood from this self-healing, end grain cutting board is harvested and assembled in a small, Nova Scotia mill. They cut it to expose the intricate patterns and gradients of the growth rings. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the fibers are lined vertically to close and heal after you’ve cut them. That keeps knives sharper and your board cleaner. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom Larch Wood board will last you a lifetime.
2) Gratitude Jar
These Made in the USA, printed glass gratitude jars encourage you to take a moment to be thankful—and they do it beautifully. Their apothecary jar style looks sharp as it gets filled with loving notes. Or, next time you find a penny or some spare change, take a second to note your blessings as you drop it into the jar. As you watch the jar fill up, you’ll build a habit that helps you focus on the positive things in your life.
3) Travel Accessory
The NAPWRAP is a travel accessory that supports your arms and removes the need to fight over the armrest. It helps you rest comfortably during long flights, train rides, or bus trips. It’s also convenient for other travel functions. Use it as a sleep mask, or to keep your ears warm, and even to carry your smartphone when you take a jog.
