Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Pulaski Axe
Splitting wood isn't easy, but with the Pulaski Axe, it's not longer a chore. With a steel core and carbon steel blade, the edge stays sharp and is easy to maneuver. It even has a steel pommel built in for hammering or trenching. And thanks to an included fitted sheath, you can store your Axe safely when you're ready to head inside.
2) Wipe-On Glasses Protector
Guard your glasses and sunglasses from scratches with a few swipes of this liquid glass. SharkProof creates tons of molecular bonds with the glass, and acts as a protective shield.
3) PinBox 3000 Pinball Machine Kit
Think outside the box—build a DIY pinball machine with it. This Made in the USA kit comes with everything you need to build a full-fledged machine with cardboard. Build, customize obstacles, then decorate. You won’t need batteries, tools, or screens—just some ready-to-fold hands.
4) Lighted Tumbler Handle
This light and handle not only makes your 30 oz tumbler easier to hold and carry, but also gives you the power of light without moving a finger. No more slipping, dripping, or tripping in the dark while trying to balance your tumbler when your hands are full. It fits most standard vehicle cup holders, and perfectly holds your tumbler secure with the rubberized grip ring.
5) Family Tree Necklace + 3 Birthstones
Thoughtful and personal, the family tree necklace is the perfect gift for any woman in your life—or for you. Beautifully handmade in Maryland, each necklace can be customized to reflect important children’s or grandchildren’s birthdates or other important dates or milestones with bezel-set Swarovski crystal charms.
