Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Fruit Protector & Ripen Buddy

2) Sustainable Kitchen Cleaning Set
This sustainable kitchen cleaning set makes it easy to sidestep plastic in your home. The pot brush, dish brush, and bottle brush are all made with sustainably-grown bamboo handles and durable sisal bristles for strong scrubbing without any glue or adhesives. And an all-natural kitchen sponge is fully compostable when it’s done with dish duty.
3) Mini Inspirational Monk
The Suburban Monk: Mini Inspirational Monk - Lucky Pink
4) Modular Magnetic Frame System
6.5" x 5" x 6.5": 1.4 lbs.
5) Japanese Welcome Fish Soap
Japanese soap shaped like a supersized fish makes for a meaningful (and eye-catching) gift. The red snapper symbolizes good fortune and luck in Japanese culture and this sweet-smelling one is made with a traditional wooden mold by one of Japan’s oldest soap makers. Give one as a unique token of thanks or good luck, or hang one up in your own shower.
