Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) All-Natural Soy Wax Candle - 20 oz
The Feya Co.: All-Natural Soy Wax Candle - 20 oz - Black Oak Currant
2) 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.
3) Molecule Pendant Necklace - Benzene
A handcrafted science necklace is a striking way to make a subtle statement. Molecules star in these chemistry-inspired pieces created by a science teacher. Each bears a scientifically accurate—and lovely-looking—compound in stainless steel. It’s a slyly personal piece with meaning explained in an included card. Give one as a dose of something needed or to showcase a love of all things science. Made in the USA.
4) 14" x 14" Reusable Idea Calendar
Think Board Calendar is a reusable dry erase sheet that can quickly and easily adhere to almost any flat surface. Place it on walls, doors, desks, the fridge—anywhere you want to leave a calendar. When you’re done, remove it and reuse in another location.
5) 360º Stainless Steel Water Bottle - 22 oz - Black
This double-wall insulated, stainless steel water bottle sports a 360° drinking valve that enables sipping along every part of the lid without any spills or leaks. No spout, button, or bite valve needed. It keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours without sweating, too.
