Top 5 Gifts Under $200
1) Ergonomic Composite Scraper Tool Kit

This ergonomic composite scraper is tough on tasks, but easy on hands—even with repetitive motions. Compact yet durable, it can swap between different types of plastic blades suited for different tasks. Ideal for removing decals and cleaning windows, the blades won’t rust or injure you or your surfaces.
2) Clip-On Bucket Handles

These bucket handles are reliable, reusable, and won’t interfere with lids or liners. Clip them onto a three- or five-gallon bucket to equally distribute weight and easily haul a load when you’re working in the yard or DIY-ing. The handles snap together for seamless storage when they’re not on carrying duty.
3) Tech Organizer

Keep your tech in check. This grid-like organizer holds an iPad or tablet along with other daily essentials all in one place. Stretchy bands and pockets neatly wrangle things like cables and chargers, while the vertical design maximizes space inside a backpack or bag.
4) Floral Lotus Tisane & Teapot

Transform the age-old ritual of making tea. These dried tea flowers are actual lotus buds sourced from a monastery on one of China’s holy mountains. Their golden honey aroma evolves into a subtle, more herbal taste and fragrance as you drink. This kit includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter that lets you enjoy the aesthetics, and eight to twelve lotus flower tisanes (each good for up to two infusions).
5) Silhouette Sand Art

This moving sand art creates unique images each time it’s turned. Slowly descending and swirling sand creates a captivating and beautiful effect that can help melt away stress, too. Handmade in Austria.
