MEN'S GIFTS |
|
At Hanson Galleries you can find a unique, artist-made surprise for the man in your life no matter what his age. Consider a steel wallet or kaleidoscope for the teen...or an unusual kitchen or wine utensil for the cook in your life. We have our most beautiful array of exotic wood boxes and artwork we have ever assembled. Shop early for best selection. Shown are just a few ideas.
Exotic wood cribbage boards come with or without dominoes. Duncan Macleod and local artist, Ross Saxon are the craftsmen.
This valet must be the most beautiful in the city! Made of cocobobo rosewood with a cherry base, it's perfect for bedside or dresser top. Long time gallery artists Thomas Davin and Mary Kessler are the artists. See their sharp sushi set by clicking here.
Architecturally-inspired, these unusual hardwood bookends are sold individually for a unique bookshelf statement. He names them the abanico bookends. Washington state sculptor, Seth Rolland, is new to the gallery. |

WHAT'S NEW! |

The glass and metal flameless menorah by Terry Andrews is great for the person who has safety concerns. The flames lift out easily so that the proper number can be used. You'll never miss the candles. It comes in a table top style as shown or a wall hanging style to conserve space. 
These ceramic mugs for our pet-lovers are hand-painted inside and out by John Elias. The fire hydrant cookie jar can be just for Rover's dog biscuits. After all, he deserves something special too. 
Lampwork glass artist Jeremy Simkus sculpts this sea turtle over a butane flame. Come see his other sea creatures as well.
