Complete Heart Wooden Candle Holders
When it comes to gifting during the holiday season, candles and candleholders are always a popular choice – and for good reason! They’re a versatile option that can be tailored to any recipient’s taste. We’re particularly fond of handmade wood carved candleholders, which exude a warm, rustic charm. What’s more, these holders come with small votive candles, making them easy to pair with any standard-sized candles you might already have on hand.
Our team is considering giving the taller holder to her brother and the smaller one to her new sister-in-law, separated into two thoughtful gift bags. This thoughtful gesture will surely bring a smile to their faces.
Rustic Wooden Wall Display with 9 Hooks
When faced with the challenge of finding a gift for someone who is notoriously difficult to shop for, it’s easy to feel stuck. This conundrum often arises when considering gifts for extended family members or in-laws, where their needs and desires may be obscure. In such cases, it’s essential to think outside the box and consider unique, functional items that can bring joy and practicality to their daily lives.
A beautifully crafted wall-mounted board made from reclaimed wood with 9 functional metal hooks is an excellent example of a thoughtful gift that can serve multiple purposes. It can be used as a display for coffee mugs, a storage solution for key rings or recycled bags, and even as a conversation starter. This type of gift is sure to elicit a warm response and bring a smile to their face.
Veneer Wood Wine Bottle Holder
Ditch the plain old paper or plastic wrap and elevate the presentation of your wine gift with a unique handmade plywood veneer wine bottle holder. This charming piece is not only perfect for showcasing a fine bottle of wine during the holidays but also makes a great addition to any bar decor throughout the year. You can also use it to display other special treats like olive oil, sparkling cider, artisan maple syrup, or even bath salts that come in stylish wine-shaped bottles.
And if reindeer-themed holders aren’t your thing, consider an elephant design for a fun twist!
Linen Pillowcases Customized for Mr. & Mrs.
Personalized Perfection is what we lovingly refer to these custom cases as! These elegant natural linen throw pillows feature soft black lettering, but you can customize them even further by choosing from 21 different writing colors. From golden yellow to ocean blue, the options are endless. Each pillow comes in two sizes and includes a thoughtful touch – ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ on the larger square, accompanied by the couple’s last name and special date (whether it’s their wedding or anniversary).
We think they’re purr-fect for adding a cozy touch to the master bedroom or as plush back pillows for a love seat or couch.
Ball Jar Bathroom Set
Imagine a shabby-chic inspired bathroom setting with 14 unique colors to select from. These five Ball jars in various sizes are hand-painted and topped with no-rust lids and matte sealant, making them an ideal choice for a bathroom. Each set comprises one pint-sized jar featuring a soap dispenser top, perfect for liquid hand soap or body lotion as the pump reaches all the way to the bottom.
The seller also offers the option to purchase additional dispenser tops separately, allowing you to create two distinct gift sets by dividing the jars.
Bamboo Lantern With Tree Carvings
While traditional gifts like wine or jam are always appreciated, why not surprise your host with something truly unique and thoughtful this holiday season? A beautifully designed bamboo lantern is sure to impress. Its elegant carving was specifically created to hold a glass votive candle, casting enchanting light and tree-shaped shadows. But what’s truly special about this gift is that it can also serve as a stunning container for a silk flower arrangement.
And if you want to make it an extra-special token of your appreciation, the artists are happy to carve a personalized message on the bottom of the box. This thoughtful touch will make the gift even more meaningful and memorable.
Set of 3 Wooden Color Block Vases
The color block vases seamlessly blend traditional and modern elements. Handcrafted from sycamore trees into softly rounded tube shapes, the pieces are then expertly painted in a palette of sweet pastel shades including pink, grey, and cream. While they possess a neutral and natural aesthetic that effortlessly blends with any décor, the artist also offers more dramatic color combinations such as grey and copper or black and gold for those seeking a bolder look.
To preserve the beauty of these wooden vases, which are not waterproof, each comes equipped with a plastic insert – perfect for showcasing cut stems of roses, peonies, or tulips.
Lightweight Travel Organizer & Docking Station
This travel organizer is a game-changer for anyone who hits the road regularly. One of its standout features is its modular design, comprising two pieces made from sustainable birch plywood. This allows it to be easily assembled and disassembled as needed, whether you’re transitioning between suitcase, hotel room, or home base.
As an added bonus, the organizer provides a centralized hub for keeping all your essentials organized – think glasses, keys, smartphone, wallet, watch, cash, and USB stick. But that’s not all: it also doubles as a docking station, featuring a thoughtful slot for charging cables. And to make it even more special, you can personalize the message or name with any sentiment you like.
Handpainted Globe With Finished Stand
As air travel and Skype continue to shrink our global distance, this exquisite globe and stand combination can bring a sense of elegance to any room. Unlike the virtual worlds we navigate daily, this beautifully crafted piece remains steadfast in its rounded shape, while offering endless possibilities for customization. Choose from an array of ocean and continent hues, as well as font styles and colors for your personalized message.
Additionally, select from 10 distinct finishes for the globe stand, each one a testament to the unique journey every traveler embarks upon. With this stunning gift, the world becomes a canvas waiting to be explored, just like the adventures we have on our travels.

Earring Organizer & Display
What we truly appreciate about this earring display is its timeless quality – it’s not tied to any specific holiday or season. We’re not trying to be Grinches, but it’s wonderful to have a gift that will remain enjoyable for years to come.

Not only can necklaces be draped over the top curves of the clouds, but this beautiful display also provides a lovely showcase for all her jewelry pieces. Ultimately, this handmade gift is a thoughtful treat for the hostess to enjoy long after the holiday celebrations have ended.
Petite Sized Wooden Picture Frames
Despite the rise of digital displays, classic wooden picture frames remain timeless treasures. The understated elegance of natural grainy wood with smooth finishes in petite sizes makes them perfect for office desks, living room shelves, or that long table behind the couch. Not only do these frames make a lovely gift on their own, but they also provide a unique opportunity to add a personal touch.
Consider printing a favorite photo from your phone or a motivational quote you found online and framing it as a special keepsake. The seller even offers custom cutting of mat backings in a vast array of colors at no extra cost, making it easy to get creative and make the gift truly one-of-a-kind.
Sleeping Cat Planter with Golden Accents
The allure of a hand-painted feline figurine on a gleaming white planter isn’t limited to cat enthusiasts. The distinctive pointed ears and button nose, paired with dramatic whiskers, make for an irresistible visual appeal. The crowning glory is the way the ears rise elegantly from the pot’s rim, transforming this kitty into a one-of-a-kind hostess gift. Consider pairing it with a fragrant herb like rosemary or thyme to create a thoughtful present.
Alternatively, embrace the season by combining the planter with a vibrant poinsettia in shades of bright red and green, creating a stunning contrast against the pure white ceramic.
Slanted Wooden Tablet Holder
The team’s enthusiasm for the handmade wooden stand was palpable. ‘If I knew someone would bring me this amazing device holder, I’d throw a party tonight!’ exclaimed our assistant editor. The entire editing staff fell in love with the unique design at first sight. Our marketing intern shared her own vision of using it: ‘I can totally see myself watching YouTube videos while leaning against the kitchen counter, enjoying cottage cheese straight out of the container – that’s my dinner and a show!
‘ While most stands feature standard engravings like two first names with an initial and date, further customization options are available to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
