Top 5 Gifts For Couples
1) Chunky Knit Throw
Go on, curl up. This chunky knit blanket looks and feels oh-so inviting. It’s all about bringing oversized comfort to your space and making an oversized statement, and it does it in spades. The roomy, cozy design is made with super-soft machine knit yarn that’s then knit by hand to get that impossible-to-ignore chunky cable knit finish. This also helps prevent the blanket from pilling and pulling, no matter how often you end up curled up under it.
2) Large Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle
Handcrafted and Made in the USA from premium Birchwood—this is a wooden puzzle that even non-puzzlers can get behind. Zen Art & Design has 300 glossy, photo-real, Giclee-coated jigsaw pieces that have a heirloom look and a substantial tactile feel. Non-traditionally shaped pieces (like dogs and human silhouettes) are part of the picture, too, to make constructing the final image all the more captivating. Log your puzzle time in the included book and look back on others’ entries. It will be entertaining your family for generations.
3) Soji Stella Solar Bell Lantern - Ultramarine
Created from ultra-durable, water-resistant Tyvek® and punched with intricate patterns, this lantern will turn itself on at dusk to cast captivating patterns of light each night. Simply let the sun charge the battery before enjoying the light's glow outdoors.
4) Sand Etched Latitude and Longitude Stemless Wine Glass
Let these personalized wine glasses serve as an everyday reminder of a special place. Send Susquehanna Glass Company any location, and they’ll find the coordinates to create wine glasses just for you. The latitude/longitude design is an exclusive collaboration with us that uses sand etching to leave a clean, crisp finish. Each glass is created in the USA with a keen eye for detail and a strong tradition—over 100 years and counting—of craftsmanship.
5) AIR 5-in-1 Audio System
AIR is a Bluetooth speaker, amplified. It can work in harmony with four magnetically connectable speakers that can deliver a surround sound-like experience, as one mega speaker, or as five separate speakers in a multi-room system. It’s all portable and water-resistant to bring big sound to just about any space.
