Gift Guide: Hand Block-Printed Gifts Under $60

Yellow Garden cotton travel pouch, hand block-printed chintz floral

Handmade doesn't have to mean expensive. Everything below is hand block-printed by artisans in Jaipur, ships from California within three business days, and costs less than $60. Each one arrives ready to give.

Under $40

Cotton 3-in-1 Travel Pouch Set — $35. Three nesting pouches in one print. For the friend who travels, the sister who's always losing her charger, the colleague leaving for a new job. Nine prints; Navy Bloom and Yellow Garden are the crowd-pleasers.

Under $50

Velvet 3-in-1 Travel Pouch Set — $40. Same three sizes in cotton velvet. The gift version of the pouch set: richer colour, softer hand, better for makeup and jewelry than toiletries. Black Ikat for someone bold; Mint Bird for someone gentler.

Quilted Tote Bag — from $50. A roomy market tote in quilted cotton with an inside pocket. The Cocoa Marigold zips closed; the reversible ones are $55.

Under $60

Placemats, set of four — $52. The gift for the host. Three prints that each match a tablecloth, runner and napkins, so the set can grow.

Napkins, set of four — $60. Just over the line, but a set of four hand-printed cotton napkins is the gift that gets used every week. Pair with placemats in the same print for a $112 table set.

Just over, worth knowing

Linen cushion cover — $72. The single most-gifted item we make. Honey Laurel and Sage Crest go with almost any sofa.

Three rules for gifting handmade

  1. Pick the print for their home, not yours. Look at their sofa, their table, their bathroom. Neutrals (Stone Garden, Sage Crest, Navy Bloom) are safe; brights (Marigold Meadow, Coral Poppy, Tiger Stripe) are for people who already own colour.
  2. Sets beat singles. A 3-in-1 pouch set or four napkins feels generous; one napkin doesn't.
  3. Tell them it's handmade. Every piece has small variations in the print — mention it, and it becomes the best part of the gift instead of a flaw.
