Top 5 Gifts Under $50
1) Large Pocket Adjustable Belt
BANDI Wear: Large Pocket Adjustable Belt - Gray Solid
2) 3-in-1 Shovel & Rake Sifter
The 3-in-1 Shovel & Rake Sifter was created for multi-purpose outdoor use all year long. It can be used as a rake then flipped over and used as a shovel or sifter. The lightness of the tool makes it easier to use for longer periods of time, while the D-grip handle provides control no matter the task at hand. This tool is great for avoiding strained muscles while working outdoors.
3) 10 Inch Diamond Tool Sharpener
Keep all your gardening tools ready to get to work with this double-sided, diamond-electroplated tool sharpener. A different grit on each side lets you restore or maintain the perfect edge with very little hand pressure.
4) VIOLI 2.0 Julienne Slicer
The VIOLI 2.0 julienne slicer quickly creates perfect cuts of vegetables and fruits with two blade inserts and five thickness options. Non-slip feet and a handguard keeps operation safe, and a dial makes thickness selection easy. Made with Japanese stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
5) Standing Skewer Cooking System
O-Yaki’s set of nine metal skewers lets you make everything from kebabs to shrimp and even a whole chicken. The set fits right in the oven on top of a cookie sheet (and inside a grill so long as the dome is more than 8.5 inches tall). Unlike the traditional ones you have to turn, these skewers stay vertical and cook evenly on all sides.
