Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Silicone Bacon Tongs
These silicone bacon tongs are a fun way to flip and serve your freshly-cooked bacon. The tongs keep hands protected from grease splatters and pull apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. Safe for nonstick cookware and heat-resistant up to 400° Fahrenheit.
2) 2 Phone Driftwood Charging 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) Small Pet Carrier Sling
With this small dog carrier sling you can keep a favorite furry friend safely contained and closeby in a more convenient way. It’s made from tough, ultra-lightweight ripstop nylon that packs up into a storage pocket. With features like a mesh ventilation panel, internal collar clip and spot to stow treats, it was made with pets in mind.
4) Sustainable Kitchen Cleaning Set
This sustainable kitchen cleaning set makes it easy to sidestep plastic in your home. The pot brush, dish brush, and bottle brush are all made with sustainably-grown bamboo handles and durable sisal bristles for strong scrubbing without any glue or adhesives. And an all-natural kitchen sponge is fully compostable when it’s done with dish duty.
5) Hummingbird Swing
A hummingbird swing gives the tiny birds a perfectly-sized place to perch. Hang it close to a feeder or nectar-rich flowering plant—and in a good viewing spot—to enjoy watching these beautiful birds in action.
