Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Intermediate Wooden Model Building Kit

UGEARS intermediate model kits make building a fun and engaging hands-on experience. These kits are geared towards older kids and adults looking for a more complex project. Each model is pieced together from flat, unfinished, laser-cut plywood parts that don’t need tools or glue to be assembled. The finished product has parts that move, too, to put these models in motion.
2) Tie Down Straps - Set of Two

Tackle many jobs—from the simple to the tough—with a heavy duty tie down strap built to handle up to 110 pounds of wrapping and securing. There are different lengths to suit your task, and the quick-grab end lets you connect multiple straps. Industrial-grade webbing is durable and flexible (and made in part from recycled plastic bottles) and hook and loop fasteners let you tie down and secure your stuff in one easy step.
3) Stacking Solitary Bee Hive

Bees make great guests. Host them in this adorable, stackable bee habitat and they’ll pollinate flowers, fruits, and vegetables, making your garden lush. Made from sustainably sourced wood and designed to suit their needs, this hotel is good for the bees, the environment, and your backyard.
