Finding the perfect gift can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you want something unique and thoughtful. At Affaire d’Art, you’ll find a variety of handmade pieces that are both special and made with care. Here are five items we love that are sure to delight your friends and family.


Handmade Mix & Match Coasters by Glinda and Rick Masters


Brighten up your table with Handmade Mix & Matchable Coasters by Glinda and Rick Masters. These coasters are sold individually, making it easy to mix and match to create a set that fits your style—or to give as a thoughtful gift. Each one features a coastal-inspired artwork by Rick Masters, adding a touch of color and personality without taking away from the practical charm of the coasters themselves.


Durable and versatile, these coasters are perfect for everyday use or casual get-togethers, bringing both function and style to your home.

Handcrafted Oyster Shell Trinket Trays


These Handcrafted Oyster Shell Trinket Trays by Glinda Masters are a popular favorite (see photo). Each tray is made from oyster shells sourced from the Galveston area, cleaned, and styled with patterns, gold accents, and a resin finish. No two trays are exactly alike, giving each one a unique character.

They’re perfect for keeping rings, earrings, or other small treasures organized, while adding a natural, artistic touch to any space. They also make a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys distinctive, locally inspired home accents.

Unique Handmade Boards by Larry Hubbell


For anyone who enjoys casual snacking or just having a beautiful piece in their home, the Handmade Boards by Larry Hubbell are a lovely choice (see photo). Each board is a unique mix of wood and resin, with some featuring inclusions like shells or flowers, or simply colored pigments that give the resin its vibrant tones.


These boards are perfect for serving cheese, bread, or fruit at relaxed gatherings, and they also make a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates handmade items with character and artistry.

With scents like sweet cucumber melon or calming lavender, these candles are perfect for creating a cozy corner, enhancing a book nook, or simply changing the vibe of any room. They’re ideal for everyday enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift for someone who loves bringing warmth and atmosphere into their space.


Handmade Cards by Jan Fowler


Nothing says “thoughtful” quite like a handwritten note. The Handmade Cards by Jan Fowler are perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes, or just letting someone know you’re thinking of them (see photo). Each card is crafted with care, adding a personal touch that store-bought cards often lack.


These cards can stand on their own as a small, meaningful gift—or be included with another present to make it feel even more special.
