Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Stratos Steerable Snow Sled with Brake
Gizmo Riders: Stratos Steerable Snow Sled with Brake
2) Birthday Laser Cut Card
Cardtorial: Birthday Laser Cut Card - Yay Pattern
3) Coordination Game - Original
This balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic beech wood discs to line up just right.
4) Silhouette Sand Art
This moving sand art creates unique images each time it’s turned. Slowly descending and swirling sand creates a captivating and beautiful effect that can help melt away stress, too. Handmade in Austria.
5) Birthday Mason Jar Candle
This birthday candle in a jar is a thoughtful token that lasts long after the celebration. It’s Made in the USA with hand-poured soy wax and a cotton wick that makes for cleaner and longer-lasting burn time—around 40 hours. These birthday wishes smell great, too, thanks to a blend of essential oils that gives this candle a light scent that won’t distract from the heartfelt message it bears.
