Top 5 Small Gifts
1) Handbag Light
SOI puts an end to blindly rummaging through your purse or backpack to find keys, wallet, or a pen. This clever little 1.5 ounce light turns on when it senses your hand. Battery operated and easy to transfer from bag to bag, SOI is the world’s first automatic bag light.
2) Pivot Modular Key Organizer
Transform your pocket jingle, jangle, and bulk into a streamlined multi-tool keychain. Load it up with up to nine keys and customize it with tools that suit you (think: locator, pocket knife, flashlight). Add or remove items at a whim so you’ll always have the right essentials easily at hand.
3) Colored Putty
Knead-it, Pop-it, Bounce-it, Stretch-it. Each tin contains an adult handful (0.2 pounds) of putty for playing or exercising. Set of 3.
4) Heart Shaped Dish with Spoon
Show someone your love with a sweet, petite heart-shaped aluminum dish. A painted interior and matching heart-shaped spoon make this food-safe piece perfect for dishing out sweet treats or corralling odds and ends like hair ties and spare change. Each whimsical catch-all is crafted, sand-cast, and polished by hand.
5) Aroma-Enhancing Spirits Glass
This carefully developed spirits glass (created after years of research and prototypes!) was made to showcase whiskey, bourbon, gin, and other spirits. The unique design encourages the aroma to open up while eliminating nose burn from alcohol vapors, so you can enjoy every delicious, nuanced flavor.
