Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Mom
1) Chunky Hat
The Chunky Hat is a warm and cozy blend of high-quality wools with fun textures and colors. This stylish chunky wool hat is also fleece-lined for extra comfort. Each item is handcrafted by female artisans in Nepal and is hand-knit, hand-dyed, and hand-spun with high-quality yarns.
2) Rapid Boil Tea Kettle
Highly conductive aluminum fins at the base of this quick boil kettle increase the heating surface area and promote better heat transfer to boil water faster than a traditional kettle can—at around seven minutes. This award-winning design saves you time and uses energy from a gas stove more efficiently.
3) Blooming Tea Variety Tin & Teapot
These blooming tea flowers turn tea time into a mesmerizing ritual. The blossoms open slowly inside the glass pot, and they’re infused with Chinese tea that delivers delicious fragrance and flavor. Each flower is good for about three infusions. This set includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter and a collectible tin with a dozen wrapped tea blooms, two of each delicious flavor.
4) Knitting Needle & Crochet Hook Set
Darn Good Yarn: Knitting Needle & Crochet Hook Set
5) Floating Flower Pin Vase
This floating flower vase creates the illusion of blossoms blooming straight up from the ground. The magic comes from brass pins in an acrylic tray that sits in the shallow ceramic vessel. Place a stem on a pin (the wider the better, like gerbera daisies—but not woody stems, like roses) and the flower will take in as much water as it needs—and stand tall in a striking display.
