Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Hazel Mittens
The Hazel Mittens are warm and cozy with an array of detailed hand-embroidered flowers and vines in bold and bright color combinations. Inspired by a pair 1950s Norwegian Mittens, your hands will stay toasty and warm in these fully fleece-lined woolen mittens. Each item is handcrafted by female artisans in Nepal and are hand-knit, hand-dyed, and hand-spun with high-quality yarns.
2) Ceramic Cooking & Serving Tagine Pot
This tagine pot is perfect for cooking and serving food at home. The dome-shaped lid allows for the ingredients within the pot to steam out, creating flavorful meals. Kamsah's proprietary handcrafting process ensures that your tagines are of the highest quality with absolutely no aesthetic defects. Each piece is made by local women for a fair wage in Nabeul, Tunisia, a city that’s been making renowned ceramics for centuries. And Kamsah supports the region even further, giving 10% of its profits to causes that benefit its artisans.
