Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Travel Size With Brush

Breeze through airport security with the handy travel size shaving soap and traditional shaving brush. Presented in a gift box.
2) Biodegradable Steam Wraps - 2-Pack

Microwave steam wraps help veggies come out of the microwave tasting crisp and fresh. Made in the USA with paper sustainably sourced from certified managed forests, a wrap helps lock in moisture while veggies cook. It’s a reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable alternative to plastic that can work on frozen foods, too.
3) Magnetic Construction Story Set

A unique construction set in which colorful magnetic blocks are flexibly assembled through a system of powerful magnets. The blocks can be connected to each other in any sequence without prominent connecting elements or complicated parts of any kind. Inspired by pixels of the digital world, these construction sets allow anyone to create pixel art in real life.
4) Chunky Knit Throw

Go on, curl up. This chunky knit blanket looks and feels oh-so inviting. It’s all about bringing oversized comfort to your space and making an oversized statement, and it does it in spades. The roomy, cozy design is made with super-soft machine knit yarn that’s then knit by hand to get that impossible-to-ignore chunky cable knit finish. This also helps prevent the blanket from pilling and pulling, no matter how often you end up curled up under it.
5) Chef-Designed Sandvik® Knife

Sandvik knives are a cut above the rest. Created with input from professional chefs, they’re made with top-end Sandvik steel for sharp and effective slicing. A chef’s grip handle gives you a sure hold and slightly rounded blades aid the rocking motion of chopping.
