Top 5 Wooden Gifts
1) Mölkky Outdoor Throwing Game
Mölkky is a simple, but slyly strategic, outdoor skittles game similar to lawn bowling. It’s easy to learn, and can be played virtually anywhere. The game pieces are made in Finland using wood responsibly sourced from local forests.
2) Kubb Tournament Outdoor Game Set
Sometimes known as "Viking Chess", Kubb is a popular outdoor game from Scandinavia in which the object is to knock over wooden pins by throwing sticks at them. Knock over the pins and the king, but be careful—if you knock over the king before all the other pins are down, your opponent wins. Official size and weight for tournament play. Includes a beautiful wooden carrying case.
3) Custom Hometown Map Puzzle
Hometown puzzles are a charming way to celebrate a special place. Made to order and hand-finished in the English countryside, each puzzle features your address and a house-shaped novelty piece (known as a “whimsy”) in the center. Crafted of traditional millboard or wood, every map is a personal puzzle to treasure.
4) Shaker Rolling Pin
The Shaker Rolling Pin is a classic—possibly the same design your grandmother used. With simple lines and a solid feel, it rolls quickly at a weight of almost two pounds.
5) Custom Made Serving Tray
Functional art for your home, boat, or cottage. A bathymetric representation of your favorite lake or coastal area, including roads and local details. Choose from over 6, 000 maps currently available.
