Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Curry Spice Gift Set
Spice up curry dishes with the signature curry spice blends from Curio Spice Co. They are made with spices directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity, and are packed with interesting flavors (cinnamon, ginger, and white pepper, anyone?) carefully selected to make these dishes shine. The set includes three spice blends and recipes for inspiration.
2) Mad Mattr Gift Set
All the tools you’ll need for your kinetic creations. A cross between therapy dough and moldable kinetic sand, this hybrid concoction is as relaxing as it is fun. Sculpt and stretch the dough to create towers, stairs, and stone walls around your castle.
3) Coastal Kitchen Seafood Tools Set
With this oyster shucker, shrimp deveiner, and crab cutter gift set, you have all the tools you need to host a serious seafood fest—and do it with less hassle and mess. The shrimp cleaner deveins, peels, and butterflies shrimp in one motion. The oyster knife has a bent tip to better open shells, and the crab cutter cracks crab shells quickly and easily. All the tools have a stainless steel blade and recycled plastic handle, and help give back to the ocean. For each gift set sold, 10 square feet of oyster beds are replanted.
4) Devi Artisanal Chocolate Gift Box
The Devi Artisanal Chocolate Gift Box is handcrafted and adorned with Nelumbo custom artwork. Devi is the feminine energy in the universe. It is linked with virtues of beauty, love, grace, passion, and compassion. Includes an assortment of five Rasã Bars. Ayurveda inspired and created from handmade raw chocolates that are free of dairy, refined sugars, gluten, preservatives, and emulsifiers. Made in the USA.
5) Beginner's Safety Razor Gift Set
The Rookie Razor cuts clean and close to the skin. And it’s a great induction into better, less wasteful way of shaving. The double-edged blade won’t tug or pull on hair, so you get smooth shave minus the ingrowns and irritation. The buffer between the blade’s edge and your skin gives extra safety, too. The gift set comes with everything you could possibly need to groom, including extra blades, shaving creams, and alum matches (in case you get a nick).
