Start your collection!  I have purchased so many of these map engraved pint glasses for family and friends.  I purchased this Dublin, Ireland pint glass for my Irish Nana, who enjoyed her Diet Coke in it for several years before she passed away.  Wonderful conversation and admiration piece, and a unique collectable for places you have traveled. These are packaged very securely and each one has arrived safe and sound.

Gorgeous Wedding / Commitment bands with personalized inscription and fingerprints inside!  Many years back before we married, my husband and I wanted matching “commitment” bands. We chose these bands because of the option to have each other's fingerprints laser printed to the inside of the band, as well as a personalized inscription for ea... Now that we are married, I wear this band on my right hand.  It has been through camping trips, yard work, home renovation projects, and so much more, and still looking beautiful!   Keep in mind these bands are NOT returnable, so make SURE you know your ring size!!!

Stacking name rings for anyone and everyone! I was so excited to find this shop. These gorgeous hand-stamped rings are personalized with whatever name you request!  The shop also sells beautiful decorative rings to use alone or as spacers between the rings to add that extra touch. I bought rings with my two daughter's names, and my husband's name as well :)   Grandkids, nieces, nephews, besties, boyfriends, girlfriends, fur-family members…  The possibilities go on and on :)  Many years on, my rings are still in beautiful condition!

Rustic, handcrafted hammered rings. Definitely one of a kind! I've purchased several rings from this shop since 2021.  This was my first purchase: https://www.etsy.com/listing/201015471/rustic-primitive-hand-sawn-asymmetrical  All the rings I've bought have lasted without losing their shape or becoming discolored.

*Canadian* (we support you!) beaded jewelry shop with the most beautiful beaded bracelets!  The colors and textures of these beads are high quality and just gorgeous, and the bands are strong.  I bought my husband this beaded bracelet from the shop:  etsy.com/listing/736168707/mens-beaded-bracelet-man-stretchaccidentally and he loved it so much, then when he accidentally broke it (maybe remove yours before using power tools), he asked me to order another one right away.  :)

ROYAL PET PORTRAITS, I mean, how can you not!?!?  I've purchased several of these for family and friends.  All you have to do is email the shop owner your pet's photo, and you get an amazing, high quality, digital royal pet portrait to download and have printed at the size that you want.  These are both hilarious and endearing. Definitely a wonderful gift for any pet parent!

Vegan designs with childhood nostalgia (if you were born in the 70's or 80's!)   I've bought many shirts, tote bags, hats, stickers and patches from Alicia over the past several years.  These are beautiful quality, and long lasting, through years of wearing and washing. If you are lucky enough to see her at a vegan event, say hello!  She's as friendly as she is talented!

Metal style Vegan + Animal Rights apparel. Maybe you want a little more angry edge in your vegan activism tees - here you go!  I have several Anticarnist shirts, and absolutely love them! I just don't wear them to work…. Your grandma might disapprove thinking you're now worshiping Satan, but assure her, it's just in Seitan we trust, not the devil himself.  :)

You want a sharp lookin' belt, but don't wear animal skin…hmmm… Here you go!  This shop offers cork “leather” belts, wallets, handbags, laptop bags,  desk mats and more! I know when you hear cork, you think wine bottles and cork boards, but cork leather is smooth + sturdy and built to last.  I bought this belt for my husband: https://www.etsy.com/listing/714787041/vegan-belt-men-engraved-personalized and it's made it through longtime daily use!

Quality shirts with the message of your choice.  My dad is a Dodger fan (and so, we're ALL Dodger fans!) so I bought him the Hershiser/Gibson 88 shirt from this shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/646925442/  Why, you ask?  WELL, if you saw the 1988 World Series game where Kirk Gibson limped up to bat with the bases loaded and hit that game winning home run…  Well, then you don' t have to ask.  If you didn't get to see that, please watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0toCMwEBwLo   You're welcome.  Anyway, the shirt is high quality and printed beautifully!  My dad loves his shirt SO much! If you're not into sports, there are lots of other options.  Go Dodgers!
