Top 5 Wooden Gifts
1) Amico Portable Hi-Fi Music System
Inside this classic, 70s-inspired wooden design lives a robust-yet-portable hi fidelity digital radio. Designed by sound guru and Audio Hall of Fame veteran Tom Devesto, this music system is smarter than its good looks. The Amico has eight hours of of wireless playback and weather-resistant wood exterior so you can listen outside. Customize its buttons to play music from different sources (FM, internet radio, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, etc.), and save favorite stations/sources. It’s perfect for on-go-the tunes.
2) Portable Campfire - 6 Pack
Enjoy the magic of a campfire in a tidy, transportable package. Incredibly easy, this quick-light log provides a self-contained flame that lasts for up to two hours. All the fun of an outdoor flame without the risk or commitment of a full campfire.
3) Vintage Model Car - Taxi
Wooden model cars designed with retro flair are stylish enough to leave out after the kids play. Made from solid Beech wood with rubber wheels, each automobile is solidly built and almost indestructible—and the sleek, glossy shape and vintage details are totally eye-catching, too.
4) 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.
5) Stacking Solitary Bee Hive
Bees make great guests. Host them in this adorable, stackable bee habitat and they’ll pollinate flowers, fruits, and vegetables, making your garden lush. Made from sustainably sourced wood and designed to suit their needs, this hotel is good for the bees, the environment, and your backyard.
