Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Tabletop Wax Warmer
Happy Wax: Tabletop Wax Warmer - Teardrop
2) Brazil Chair

3) Flipped Planter
Inspired by the way regular terracotta planters are stacked upside down when not in use, the Flipped planter offers a playful take on a home for your plants. The outer body works as a water reservoir and supplies moisture to the plant for up to a month, so you can spend more time enjoying your plants instead of watering them.
4) Desktop Dumpster
Dumpsty: Desktop Dumpster - Sparkle Lime
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.
