Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Floating Flower Pin Vase
This floating flower vase creates the illusion of blossoms blooming straight up from the ground. The magic comes from brass pins in an acrylic tray that sits in the shallow ceramic vessel. Place a stem on a pin (the wider the better, like gerbera daisies—but not woody stems, like roses) and the flower will take in as much water as it needs—and stand tall in a striking display.
2) Book Themed Infinity Scarf
STORIARTS: Book Themed Infinity Scarf - Strange the Dreamer
3) 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.
4) Brass Pocket Sundial
A brass pocket sundial is both a small work of art and a unique way to tell the time. Crafted in Austria, the sundial works anywhere on Earth and neatly folds up when not in use. It’s a practical way to check the time and an ornamental piece that looks lovely on display.
5) Hand-Printed Pashmina
Slyly humorous and beautifully crafted, these pashmina scarves inject whimsy into your wardrobe. Whether it’s a geeky reference or just an offbeat print that speaks to you, these accessories are expressive and elegant—and beg for a second look. Each piece is hand-printed in Detroit onto luxe-feeling fabrics woven just for Cyberoptix.
