Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Spiritual Symbol Necklace
What do you want to manifest in life? A symbol necklace is a lovely-looking way to infuse meaning into your everyday looks. Pick a charm that means the most to you—protection, new beginnings, vitality, or love. (All four sound pretty good to us.) Handcrafted in Thailand.
2) Heat-Resistant Cooking & Grilling Gloves
Grill Armor Gloves: 932°F Heat-Resistant Grilling Gloves - One-Size Black & Grey
3) B2-Nano Blade Keychain Pocket Knife
The B-2 nano blade keychain pocket knife is great for every day carry because of its small size and tough features. Ideal for attaching to a keychain with the included carabiner, it weighs less than one ounce. The knife tackles tasks with a super-sharp, serrated stainless steel blade that is held firmly in place with a lock lever.
4) Creativity Sculpture
ZoLO blanko is gender neutral and encourages open-ended play. The blanko allows you to be the artist over your toy sculptures. You can paint, draw on, and style the 30 plastic pieces in any number of ways. These inspiring activities are designed to spark the imaginations of children, families, caregivers, educators—or anyone—to foster out-of-the-box thinking.
5) Minimalist Leather & Elastic Billfold
