Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Indian Tea & Decorative Tin Gift Box
Vahdam Teas: Indian Tea & Decorative Tin Gift Box - Assorted Chai Tea Blends (3 Tins)
2) Bath & Body Brush Set
This bath and body brush set provides a natural spa experience you can enjoy every day. The dry brush—made of beechwood with sisal bristles—gently exfoliates skin without the risk of bacteria, like with plastic sponges. Scrub every spot with the long handle dry/wet brush and face brush that make it easy to clean up in a sustainable way.
3) Coastal Kitchen Seafood Tools Set
With this oyster shucker, shrimp deveiner, and crab cutter gift set, you have all the tools you need to host a serious seafood fest—and do it with less hassle and mess. The shrimp cleaner deveins, peels, and butterflies shrimp in one motion. The oyster knife has a bent tip to better open shells, and the crab cutter cracks crab shells quickly and easily. All the tools have a stainless steel blade and recycled plastic handle, and help give back to the ocean. For each gift set sold, 10 square feet of oyster beds are replanted.
4) Beard Balm Sets
Specially formulated with a hemp seed, vitamin E and jojoba oil, the balm gives your beard the hold it needs. It smooths, softens, and tames unruly hair—without leaving a greasy finish.
5) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
