Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.

With this oyster shucker, shrimp deveiner, and crab cutter gift set, you have all the tools you need to host a serious seafood fest—and do it with less hassle and mess. The shrimp cleaner deveins, peels, and butterflies shrimp in one motion. The oyster knife has a bent tip to better open shells, and the crab cutter cracks crab shells quickly and easily. All the tools have a stainless steel blade and recycled plastic handle, and help give back to the ocean. For each gift set sold, 10 square feet of oyster beds are replanted.

The Rookie Razor cuts clean and close to the skin. And it’s a great induction into better, less wasteful way of shaving. The double-edged blade won’t tug or pull on hair, so you get smooth shave minus the ingrowns and irritation. The buffer between the blade’s edge and your skin gives extra safety, too. The gift set comes with everything you could possibly need to groom, including extra blades, shaving creams, and alum matches (in case you get a nick).
