Top 5 Unusual Gifts

The Dozop Collapsible Dolly makes moves both big and small much easier. It’s lightweight (under five pounds) and easy to assemble (takes around a minute) without needing any tools to put it together. The dolly can handle up to 250 pounds of what you need to move and inline skate wheels boost maneuverability over carpet and uneven surfaces. Parts are stored inside the self-contained design to compactly stow away between jobs.
2) Hand-Printed Pashmina

Slyly humorous and beautifully crafted, these pashmina scarves inject whimsy into your wardrobe.
