Top 5 Thoughtful Gifts
1) Spinning Whiskey & Spirits Glass
Sip from a spinning whiskey glass that does more than just look good (though it certainly does that). The base of this glass is designed to spin in place without toppling your drink. This creates an eye-catching effect with a purpose—the spinning action helps aerate whiskey, which opens up flavor and aroma.
2) Wine Sulfite Purifier & Aerator
The Üllo wine purifier targets sulfites that can potentially cause unwanted side effects (for you) and alter taste (for your wine). Sulfites work as a preservative to keep wine fresh until the cork is popped. They can cause things like a stuffy nose for some people and even affect a wine’s flavor. Just pour a glass (or bottle) of wine through the sulfite capture filter and enjoy. Wine is now in its purest, preservative-free form. If you’re sipping a red, the filter can serve as an aerator, too.
3) Patent Art
PatentPrints: Bike - 24x36 - Blueprint
4) Sofa Snuggler Dog Throw Blanket
Soggy Doggy: Sofa Snuggler Dog Throw Blanket - Extra Large - Beige
5) Japanese Welcome Fish Soap
Japanese soap shaped like a supersized fish makes for a meaningful (and eye-catching) gift. The red snapper symbolizes good fortune and luck in Japanese culture and this sweet-smelling one is made with a traditional wooden mold by one of Japan’s oldest soap makers. Give one as a unique token of thanks or good luck, or hang one up in your own shower.
