Jan 31st 2023
When someone has shown a great kindness, it can be hard to find a gift that really says "thank you." One that conveys the depth of your appreciation, that truly lets them know what a difference they've made.
We can help with that.
Here are five ways to say thanks with a handcrafted gift that will last a lifetime.
1. SHALLOT OIL LAMP
Our oil lamps provide unique, warm lighting that's perfect for a gathering of loved ones or a quiet night at home. They also light the darkness during a power outage, providing peace, warmth, and beauty during a time of uncertainty.
Oil lamps are both beautiful and functional, both symbolic and literal providers of warmth and light. Many people use them for evening rituals game nights, holiday lighting, romantic dinners, and m"Beautiful lamp, outstanding craftsmanship. We saw your company on How It’s Made and my husband was so taken by your product, which made him think of childhood memories with his grandparents." –Nancy
2. GNOMES
What's sweeter than a gnome delivering a message of thanks? These playful friends will instantly become a part of their home, bringing charm and whimsy to any shelf, bookcase, or windowsill.
While gnomes aren't traditionally associated with gratitude, there's plenty of room for creativity here. Write a note or draw a picture of what you're thankful for, and let the gnomes deliver the message!
"What a great find! I’m usually hesitant buying without seeing or touching something but this is amazing! I could not be happier. It is heavy, well made with lots of details and will remain out all year in my house!" –Happy Shopper
3. HAMMERED JEFFERSON CUP
The first of these gorgeous, light-catching cups was spun on our 100-year-old lathe by Danforth's senior spinner as a gift for a co-worker. Each cup we sell is made individually, making it a touching gift of thanks for anyone who has shown a great kindness.
A wonderful gift for anyone who loves a well-mixed cocktail, craft beer, or mocktail, this cup will be a lifelong reminder of your appreciation.

4. FEDERAL / BLUEBERRY PICTURE FRAME
Photos are a wonderful way to maintain a practice of gratitude in one's own home, and they're also a much-loved gift that says thank you, especially after years of friendship or an especially meaningful event.
