The sound of softly tinkling wind chimes is one of my favorite sounds. Here is a lovely ceramic wind chime from Darlene Bosman.

Gifts for Him at The Gift Shop

Father's Day is just around the corner, and here at The Gift Shop we have unique, handmade gifts just for him. Highlighted this week for Father's Day gift ideas are artists Mary Jo Bera, Ron Cracchiolo, Ann Marie Manninio, and Rich Fidler.

 How about a hand-made fishing lure or a fish bottle stopper from Ron Cracchiolo?

I think most men love new cars, but the lure of the old "Junker" is still strong. This plaque from Ann Marie Manninio shows some retro autos that have seen better days!

Talk about a unique gift! Here is a clock from Rich Fidler fashioned from a vintage LP.
