3) Molecule Science Necklace
A handcrafted science necklace is a striking way to make a subtle statement. Molecules star in these chemistry-inspired pieces created by a science teacher. Each bears a scientifically accurate—and lovely-looking—compound in stainless steel. It’s a slyly personal piece with meaning explained in an included card. Give one as a dose of something needed or to showcase a love of all things science. Made in the USA.
4) Hand Cut Monogram Stemless Wine Glass - Set of 2
The classic Monogram on these personalized wine glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
