Top 5 Gifts Under $200
1) Bison Leather Card Case

Elevate your everyday carry with a leather card case. It has space for up to eight credit cards and even some cash, and is crafted in Maine with American bison leather that is known for its durability.
2) Silicone Organization Band 6-Pack

Organize, wrap, and corral with packing bands that can help out with many jobs. This set of durable and stretchy silicone bands comes with two of each different size. The bands can be linked to work together, or secure one to itself—there’s no metal parts to cause any scratches or snags. A band fits the bill for tasks like keeping clothes tidy in luggage (there’s even indicators for clean and dirty laundry), sealing open bags in the pantry and more.
3) Reusable Silicone Food Storage Bags-Set of 4

These reusable silicone food storage bags do a lot more than the toss-out plastic ones can—like stand up. They’re airtight and leak-proof thanks to a sealing slider, and so a great choice for storing liquids like soup and sauces. The bags have a flat bottom for easy filling and can go in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer. You can even write on one with a dry erase marker.
4) Kid's Active Footwear in Pink - Medium

Ergonomically designed and engineered to be form-fitting and breathable, FitKicks are versatile shoes that go from home to play . . . and even into the shower.
5) Faucet Handle Attachment - 2-Pack
