For the world traveler, the budding sailor, or the soul mate who lives overseas, this miniature brass boat from Another Studio will serve as an elegant little reminder of their loved ones back home. The tiny totem comes packaged flat and is delicately assembled through a series of precise folds; no adhesive required, just some very patient fingers (and perhaps a pair of tweezers).

A winter woodland needle-felting kit

“Felting is good cold-weather medicine,” says Felted Sky Studio owner and fiber art aficionado Elizabeth Whitton—and we couldn’t agree more. Each fuzzy, fluffy tree in her evergreen felting kit takes a few hours to complete, but makers who are up for the task may just find that the rhythmic poke of the needle offers some mid-holiday stress relief. Evergreen needle felting kit from Felted Sky Studio, $36
