Top 5 Gifts Under $200
1) Bamboo Compost Bin
Bamboozle Home: Bamboo Compost Bin - Graphite
2) Cordage Making Card
The credit card sized, stainless steel cordage making tool creates rope from plastic bottles. The multifunctional cordage created from this tool can be used for hundreds of tasks including gardening and camping. One 2-liter bottle can create over 50 feet of line. Made in the USA.
3) Meat Handler and Shredder
The original meat shredding claws are often imitated, but these are the real deal—durable and Made in the USA. Six super sharp prongs easily shred meat, like pulled pork. They offer great grip to lift large roasts or turkeys, and hold them stable when carving. The minimal, ergonomic design is easy to grip and easy to clean, with almost nowhere for bits of food or juices to hide.
4) Intrepid Low Profile Stretch Belt
This unisex stretch belt is so slim it lies flat, closing the gap between your waistband and you. The size is adjustable and you can actually stick it in the wash if it gets dirty. It looks great, feels comfortable, and is easy to forget you have it on. You can even wear the belt through security because the hardware is made from no-beep recycled metal.
5) Anthoimmune Elderberry Syrup
Anthoimmune delivers therapeutic levels of antioxidants. It combines organic elderberries, which are traditionally used to fight cold and flu-like symptoms, with organic elderflowers and organic wild blueberries. Suggested dosage: 1-2 tsp daily.
