Amazon, www.amazon.com
Precious Petal Co. is a small business that specializes in copper flower charms.
Promising review: “The copper hearts really work. The water in my transparent glass vase stays cleaner longer. I still change out the water and trim the stems but not as often as I used to. The cut flowers stay fresher longer. I like them so much I’ve purchased more copper hearts for my family who enjoy cut flowers too.” —J. Hamman

A Lego Botanicals Mini Orchid set to give to that friend who is horticulturally hopeless. They get a relaxing 274-piece project that turns into a 10-inch-tall orchid they can keep on a desk or shelf without ever having to remember to water it.
Promising review: “Bought this for my son to build with his mom for Mother’s Day since he loves Lego and my wife coaches his robotics team. What made this set special wasn’t just the final product, but the experience of building it together. The instructions were easy enough for them to work through as a team, and the finished orchid actually looks very nice displayed on a shelf or desk. I also liked that it’s a flower that won’t die a week later. It ends up being both a gift and a memory tied together in one project. Really thoughtful set if you’re looking for something a little more meaningful than a typical gift.” —Rob

A top-grain leather bifold wallet that’s perfect for anyone who appreciates minimalism and craftsmanship. ✨ It has RFID-blocking lining, eight card slots, two ID windows, and comes packaged in a gift box.
Stay Fine is a small business that specializes in fine leather wallets and watches.
Promising review: “The kids and I picked this wallet out for my husband for his birthday. We were first drawn to this wallet because it is made in the USA, and we knew my husband would appreciate that. The wallet came in a nice box that made it perfect for gifting. My husband found the wallet to be of high-quality, heavy-duty leather. He also commented on the slim design yet all the space for his cash and cards. The card slots were a little snug, but he feels as though they will loosen up over time as the leather breaks in. He said it is comfortable and fits well in either his front or back pocket. He said he didn’t realize how badly he needed a new wallet until he got this one.” —Stephanie A.

It includes a wick trimmer, snuffer, and wick dipper so they can maintain their collection properly instead of tearing their wicks off with kitchen scissors or, worse, their fingers. 🫣
Promising review: “This was a gift for my daughter, and she loved it! She burns candles all the time, and she loved the wick trimmer the best. She didn’t know that you should trim the wick before each use to prevent it from getting smoky. She also never saw a wick dipper and liked the idea of putting the flame out that way. This set makes a great gift for any candle lover.” —Kakepusher

Ooly is a small business based in California that specializes in high-quality arts, crafts and school supplies.
Promising review: “If I could give these pens more than 5 stars, I would. I love them so much! They write very well, extremely smoothly, with no smudge and perfect flow. I agree they seem to run out a bit fast, but it could be because I use them so often. I appreciate the color selection, though I wish they had some primary colors too. I love the glitter- it’s just perfect. I use these to take notes at work, and they are comfortable to use for a long period. I don’t get big glops of ink. I’ve also given them as gifts to fellow pen-aficionados. I will order them over and over again.” —Karen Linville
