Top 5 Gifts Under $500
1) Quarto Wooden Puzzle Board Game
Quarto is a stately-looking game that relies on your powers of observation. Easy to understand and quick to play, the goal is to identify commonalities in game pieces to place four in a row. The twist? Your opponent selects your pieces. Crafted with wood, it’s a treat to both play and display.
2) Electric Handheld Shovel and Auger
Dig in with an automatic handheld shovel that takes some of the strain out of gardening and landscaping jobs. The cordless electric digger is powered by a rechargeable battery that adds major muscle while a metal auger bit digs with power and precision. Built-in safety features help ensure you won’t rip through roots or rocks, and the motor will stop if the trigger is released.
3) Women's Natural Rubber Sandals
These natural rubber sandals are made from soft, sustainably grown latex that conforms to your feet—so you’ll almost feel like you’re barefoot. Inspired by 5, 000 year-old traditional Indian wooden sandals, the angled strap hugs your foot to give a secure fit and prevent that flip-flopping sound, too. For every pair bought a tree is planted in Africa, suited to the specific needs of a community.
4) Adult Trivia Game About You
Get to know family and friends better with a trivia game that gets personal. From habits to opinions and preferences, each card asks three questions players answer for each other. From guessing if you’re a cat or dog person, to what body part you wash first in the shower, this game is a surefire icebreaker that gets conversations going fast.
5) Anza Acai Necklace
