Fun Gift Ideas Part Deux

In personality type lingo land, Funs (SPs) are often called Artisans. They love doing things with their hands. It’s why so many Funs end up in hands-on professions — makeup artists, musicians, chefs, carpenters, etc. So today’s tip is that these are the folks to buy artisan crafted items or artisanal foods. They are the ones who will appreciate the craftsmanship and effort put into makings things like these meat cleavers made by Zach Lihatsh from recycled steel and copper. Does that scream handmade or what? 

We got this idea from Martha and she had a whole page of artisanal products. They’re on the pricier side as well. These meat cleavers will run you $160 on a website called ilovemast.com. The next cheapest items that Martha had were these porcelain cups from saranyc.com. They’re fired up in a Japanese kiln that dates back to 1804. $36 each. They also have matching bowls for $38. I know a few Organics (NFs) who might like these also. In fact, I’d put Organics next in line after Funs as to whom you can purchase artisanal gifts because these items almost always have a neat story behind it. More on this tomorrow.

Now onto Artisanal foods. Funs love experiences so what better gift than to give them the experience of deliciousness by giving them some artisanal food. This bacon looks like the only way it could possibly have been cut is with one of the above fancy handmade cleavers. Zingermans.com $99 has this at $99 for three months. I mean, who wouldn’t love the gift of bacon — besides a Fun vegan or Fun vegetarian that is. I guess with the latter you could do a micro-brew beer of the month club or something.
