Made *mostly* in the USA

Made *mostly* in the USA

Hello, Everyone. We know these tariff changes are creating a lot of worry, and we wanted to say we're feeling it too, and share some insight into making products domestically. While we're fortunate to make our metal gift-ware here in the USA, we totally get that's not the reality for many, and we deeply respect the global nature of our creative community. Even though our production is based in the USA, we appreciate how interconnected we all are in this industry.

Making things in the US is not isolated from local and global challenges, and we've been forced to source the things we need from beyond our borders. For example, when our US based mold-making supplier closed up shop after 75 years, we had to start getting the material from Canada. Our knife blades come all the way from England now, since there aren't any US suppliers anymore. Even though we're super committed to keeping things as local as possible, the truth is, the tools and materials we use come from all over the globe. Over the years we've seen so many of our local vendors and manufacturing partners close, and we've made many changes along the way to weather the shifting tides. We know many of you have shopped with us for years for meaningful gifts for the people you love, and we'll do our absolute best to keep prices stable, so you have one less thing to think about.

New! Limited-edition Deer Baby Cup

New! Limited-edition Deer Baby Cup

We're in love with this adorable new baby cup with a baby deer applique. They are a challenge to fabricate, so we have limited availability. There's a lot of very fancy soldering required to fabricate this cup, but they're so sweet it's worth it!

This little deer cup would make a lovely heirloom in a woodland themed nursery or for anyone who would appreciate a more modern take on a traditional baby gift. They're our new studio favorite!

Jim's Hot Toddy Recipe

Jim's Hot Toddy Recipe

In addition to usual stresses and joys, this Holiday season brought us a couple of really bad colds, that seemed to go on and on. In fact, our whole Beehive team was down for Christmas. Jim found a silver lining in having the sniffles for a couple of weeks - perfecting his hot toddy recipe.

We used our tea infuser and scoop to infuse hot water with a soothing blend of cloves, herbs, and cinnamon. Our favorite blends are Orange Clove and Lemon Ginger, by our friends at Oliver Pluff. Steep ingredients for five minutes, add 1.5 ounces of whisky and one teaspoon of honey, and you've got a delicious winter warmer, so good it's almost worth having a cold. This classic cocktail is perfect for unwinding after a long day or for soothing a sore throat.
