Howler Brothers Men's Crosscut Deluxe Snapshirt
Whole Earth was quick to add Howler Brothers to the mix when they first appeared on the scene ten years ago. They've been a customer favorite ever since. Among their most popular items is the Snapshirt. Collectors love the inspired embroidered details on a classic western shirt with pearl snap buttons. A Howler Brothers Men's Crosscut Deluxe Snapshirt would be a much-appreciated gift for that special guy on your holiday list. It's made of a comfy 98% cotton chambray with just a hint of stretch.

From tiny socks to wrap baby's toes in warmth to socks for kids, men, and women, you'll find a pair for everyone on your list.

Hamacas Rada aka Yucatan Hammock
Need a gift for the whole family? Mark the holiday with a Hamacas Rada aka Yucatan Hammock for their yard or porch. It’s a gift that the family can enjoy almost all year long. There are few things as relaxing as stretching out for a restful read or snooze in a cool breezy hammock. We’ve been selling Yucatan hammocks for well over 45 years. They’re colorful, strong, and made for sleeping in a very hot and humid climate. And they can be hung indoors as well as outside. Think of it as an extra guest bed should the need arise.
Music Of The Spheres Pentatonic Soprano Windchime
At Whole Earth you'll find wind chimes large and small for the person on your list who may want to add to the beauty of the natural soundscape of their yard or porch. Some chimes are embellished with decorative elements like a hummingbird or a tree of life. We're proud to offer both Woodstock Chimes and Austin's own Music of the Spheres wind chimes. Founded in 1989, Music of the Spheres is dedicated to providing symphonic quality tuned musical instruments for the wind to play. Give the gift of backyard music all year long!
