Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Lacquer-Embossed Leather Coin Purse
This leather coin purse is carefully handmade in Japan by artisans who practice traditional methods that date back to 1582. Originally used as a way to decorate and boost the durability of leather pieces on Samurai armor, lacquer is embossed onto supple deerskin leather for a beautiful layer of protection. The intricate designs give the purse a distinctive finish and makes one a gift rich in history.
2) Magnet Driver™ Nail Holder
Never mistakenly hit your own fingers with a hammer again. The Magnet Driver Nail Holder makes hammering nails safe, secure, and easy. Just place the nail on the tip of the bit, slide the magnetic driver until it touches the nail, and that's it—you're ready to start hanging just about anything.
3) X5 Car Charger with 5 USB Ports - Black/Blue
Charge five devices at once—at twice the speed of a regular wall charger. This rapid car charger caters to a car full of friends and family. Two of the ports use intelligent recognition, reading your device then charging as fast as possible from two to 2.4 amps. The remaining three charge ports power up with two amps. No more fighting over the phone charger in the car.
4) Cotton Scarf
This scarf is made of cotton and loomed in Sheffield, Massachusetts. Easy eyelet closure at the neck allows you to thread the scarf through, offering a snug, soft fit.
5) Wine Bottle Coaster
