Top 5 Gifts Under $50
1) Cross-Back Denim Apron
This denim apron takes a utilitarian approach to keeping you clean in the kitchen. Pure cotton denim is the aprons’ durable base, and there are perfectly-sized pockets for a notebook and pens. The cross-back construction opens up your range of motion and, because it doesn’t tie around the neck, it creates less stress there during long baking sessions.
2) Smoking Pouch & Wood Chips Set
A smoking pouch and wood chips set is the solution to smoky-tasty grilled foods. The durable stainless steel pouch is filled with the included mesquite, apple, or hickory wood chips. As the pouch heats, chips smolder white smoke, infusing food with flavor without extra effort.
3) Aroma-Enhancing Spirits Glass
This carefully developed spirits glass (created after years of research and prototypes!) was made to showcase whiskey, bourbon, gin, and other spirits. The unique design encourages the aroma to open up while eliminating nose burn from alcohol vapors, so you can enjoy every delicious, nuanced flavor.
4) Sick Shot Trick Shot Kit
Alley Hoopster: Sick Shot Trick Shot Kit
5) Felt Purse Organizer
This felt purse organizer makes it easy to customize your handbag’s interior. Eleven compartments—four outer, one for pens, and six internal—add up to a tidy, tailored storage solution. The stylish dark grey felt is soft, yet sturdy, and includes handles for easily switching from bag to bag.
