Top 5 Gifts Under $200
1) Ridge Glove - Small - Natural
Durable leather gloves get one step tougher with baked-in waterproofing sealer. Each pair is heated in the oven—three times—to cure the sealer. More flexible than ski gloves, these unisex winter utility gloves are dexterous and toasty warm, thanks to HeatRac insulation. For anyone who spends time in the cold, it's a perfect balance of warmth and function.
2) Compact Folding Travel Garment Bag
This compact folding garment bag seamlessly packs suits. Folding hangers with built in magnets keep clothes tidily tucked in and looking crisp when they arrive at your destination. There are spots for shirts and ties, and you can pick from a carry on or packable bag for easy, crease-free travelling.
3) Layered 3D Framed Paper Flower Bouquet
These framed paper bouquets were created with the intention of expressing floral art in a completely unique way. Each flower is hand-drawn and painted, then layered onto the backing board to create a 3D effect. Made in the USA.
4) Modern Wall Mounted Planter
CREO: Modern Wall Mounted Planter - Magnet
5) Adjustable Storage Containers - Set of 4
The airtight food storage container from Botto adjusts to take up just as much space as it needs, maximizing your cabinet and pantry storage and maintaining the freshness of dry foods. As you press the lid down, excess air comes out—and stays out—with one satisfying swoosh, thanks to a one-way air valve. Cereal, pasta, nuts and more will last longer and be tidily organized. Made with BPA- and phthalate-free, FDA-grade, food-safe materials.
