Do you have any outdoorsy people on your holiday gift list? Travelers? If you’re reading this, I know you do. Or you’re one yourself. Check out this fabulous Compass Necklace from Uncommon Goods. What a perfect gift for hikers, travelers, and explorers. And, really not just for those types, because compasses symbolize finding your way in life and the value of your journey, and it’s a sweet sentiment for the people you love. I can think of a hundred different ways this would be a beautiful gift. It would make a great talisman for the new year, for instance, for embarking on a new project, adventure or goal.
The actual piece of jewelry, made by artist LeeAnn Herreid, using eco friendly recycled materials, is very substantial in person. It’s small, about the size of a dime, but has a tiny heft to it–it feels solid in your hand. The globe is glass, though, so be careful not to slam it down or be overly rough with it. The glass and shiny sterling silver make give it a quality look and feel, and it’s about the size of a dime. The compass is functioning, but not necessarily accurate, so not meant for self reliance out in the woods. Find this awesome necklace and other great holiday gifts at Uncommon Goods, probably one of the top online shops for the best gifts you’ll find, and full of eco friendly options.
