Top 5 Gifts For Grandparents
1) Custom Hometown Map Puzzle
Hometown puzzles are a charming way to celebrate a special place. Made to order and hand-finished in the English countryside, each puzzle features your address and a house-shaped novelty piece (known as a “whimsy”) in the center. Crafted of traditional millboard or wood, every map is a personal puzzle to treasure.
2) Thin Copper Quote Cuff
Engraved metal bracelets bearing timeless quotes serve as both beautiful jewelry and wearable, everyday inspiration. Each piece is hand made in Vermont with copper sourced from the U.S., and has a slightly rustic, natural-looking feel. Choose a quote to act as an inspiration, a reminder of love, or to make you smile.
3) Custom Engraved Sterling Silver Pen
This tiny silver pen is designed to fit right in your wallet, adding no bulk, so you'll always have a pen when you need one. Handmade in Vermont.
