Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Modular Black Out Eye Mask
This modular black-out sleep mask is a dream come true for light (and light-sensitive) sleepers. Hollow memory foam eyepieces can individually adjust to best fit your head shape. They won’t press against eyes, but they will block out any light. Go on and get comfortable, this mask works in any sleep position.
2) Hypoallergenic Dryer Egg - Spring Blossom
Toss a dryer egg in with your laundry. It’s hypoallergenic and tested to be super soft on sensitive skin. Plus, its fragrance sticks infuse your clothes with a fresh scent.
3) Whisker Relief Food Bowl
Your cat food bowl could be to blame for a fussy feline. When cats repeatedly bump their super sensitive whiskers—like against sides of their bowls—they experience whisker fatigue, which is painful and stressful. This sleek bowl was designed to help prevent overstimulated whiskers. Its shallow curve piles food up in the center, so there’s no bumping around. And bump-free whiskers make for a happier cat.
4) Shrimp Cleaner
This shrimp deveiner makes a messy job easier—even the peeling and butterflying jobs—all at once and in one motion. A stainless steel blade extends fully into the recycled plastic handle for extra durability. And for each cleaner sold, 10 square feet of oyster beds are replanted.
5) Brass Wall Bell
This brass patio wall bell rings loud and clear—and it rings with authenticity, too. Hang one to add personality, nostalgic charm, and a bit of history to your space. Crafted by renowned bell makers who have been creating their signature brass bells since 1832. Made in the USA and guaranteed to last a lifetime.
