3) Frog Prince Ringholder

If you’re in the habit of taking your rings off—to do dishes, say, or work out—make it a habit to place them on a Lucina K. pewter ring holder. Founder Lori Strickland designs the ring holders herself, then has them sculpted in wax and cast in 100% lead- and cadmium-free American pewter.
4) 11-in-1 Multi-Tool

This pocket tool sits discreetly in your pocket, streamlining the bulk from your keys and keeping anything you might need handy. It’s a sleek metal strip that opens bottles, adjusts flathead screws, scores material, pries things open, and drives in up to four different-sized hex screws and bolts.
5) City Landmark Wooden Coasters

Laser engraved city landmark coaster.
