I will go out on a limb and risk sounding silly. One of my favourite handmade goods are handcrafted umbrellas. There are some umbrella makers that actually take the time to pick out different types of wood and handcraft it into the handle that is then incorporated into the final product. Imagine the novelty of a handcrafted Ashwood or Bamboo umbrella? They don't come cheap, costing hundreds of dollars each. However, it is fun to know that the umbrella you are holding, unbeknownst to others, has been hand made. An added bonus, having spent a few hundred dollars for one you will be mindful of its whereabouts; you wouldn't be wanting to forget it in the back of a taxi.
