Top 5 Unusual 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) Driftwood Phone and Tablet Dock
Docksmith turns unique pieces of driftwood and birch into beautiful, one-of-a-kind chargers for your smartphone or tablet. Scouring forests and beaches all over Maine, Docksmith’s owners personally select the wood and craft the chargers in their personal woodshops.
3) 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.
4) Careful Key Antimicrobial Door Opener
Zootility: Careful Key Antimicrobial Door Opener - 2-Pack
