It is a thoughtful, almost throwback approach to creative graphic art that has a wonderful result. The Burlap Bee Pillow from Toss by Fiber and Water was a last minute addition to our gift guide this year, but one we knew we wanted to get in! The artisans for this great business on Maine’s coast press their designs onto burlap and other natural fibers by hand. The Honeycomb Ring can be purchased in sterling silver, or in a two-tone 14k Yellow Gold and Sterling Silver combo that adds a fresh, warm honey glow. We think the Genus Apis Honeycomb Ring would make for a fun and unique men’s wedding band or promise ring, paired with Blazer Arts’ charming 14k yellow gold bee ring, as seen below, for the fashion-forward beek couple. The ring was also expertly packaged within a ring box and wrapped in a very classy tissue paper the presentation was superb. It is a solid, versatile ring that could appeal to a variety of people, from nature enthusiasts to the rugged individualist or even the Steampunk scientist. The inside of the ring is extremely smooth and comfortable. We were very excited to receive Blazer Arts‘ sterling silver Genus Apis Honeycomb Ring in the mail, and it did not disappoint! The brushed texture of the silver is a fashionable backdrop for the thickly etched honeycomb design that makes for a gorgeous ring. They have dozens of other designs, and coasters can each be personalized. Pictured here are an assortment of five different designs. These are not flimsy items, but impressive pieces of art with great utility. In addition to their absorbency, you’ll be impressed by the heavy quality of the stone coasters. Each natural stone is unique, and all will look charming and classy in your living room. The natural stone helps keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot! They have felt pads on the bottom of each corner. The images are sealed for protection but the rest of the stone is left unsealed to absorb moisture. The images are carefully transferred to the stone but are not glued on. These adorable bee coasters by GardenPorchHome are each 4″ x 4″ absorbent, tumbled stone. This is a substantial candle, and the detailing is exquisite. This 9.2 ounce, gorgeous holiday or Christmas tree beeswax pillar candle is 6.5 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide, that’s tall! It has a lovely honey scent and looks just as beautiful unlit as it does burning by on the mantle. Share on Facebook Tweet It Pin on Pinterest

In no particular order, they range from the classy to the quirky, and we know you’ll love them!
