Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Sand Etched Latitude and Longitude Pint Glass
Let these personalized pint glasses serve as an everyday reminder of a special place. Send Susquehanna Glass Company any location coordinates, and they’ll create glasses just for you. The Latitude and Longitude design is an exclusive collaboration with us that uses sand etching to leave a clean, crisp finish. Each glass is created in the USA with a keen eye for detail and a strong tradition—over 100 years and counting—of craftsmanship.
2) Nomad Travel Blanket
Let little ones get wrapped up in a world of adventure and warmth. These organic cotton blankets for kids have an imaginative design—a stitched animal hoodie that folds into a carry pillow. Each one is handcrafted by women in India for fair wages.
3) Hand Cut Monogram Stemless Wine Glass - Set of 2
The classic Monogram on these personalized wine glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
4) Pizza Oven for Gas Grill
This stainless steel insert transforms a gas grill into a grill top pizza oven. It sits on the grill grate and is designed to maintain and circulate heat to cook a crispy pizza in about eight minutes.
5) Layered Tassel Necklace
These Jazz Age-inspired necklaces are crafted by artisans in Ecuador in return for a living wage. Two hand dyed, richly colored leather tassels at different lengths make for a layered look, while an açaí seed adds visual interest.
