That little fee helps me keep writing these articles. All my opinions are my own. I am featuring these products because I love them. ​
There is no need to go out and mingle with the crowds this year (you don't want to any way). You can do all your shopping from the comfort of your own couch. So let's get cozy with a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and let's support some small handmade businesses.

Handmade Holiday Gift Guide - Part 1

11/16/2020

0 Comments

 
I cannot believe the holidays snuck up on me so quickly. Last thing I remember I was sitting outside enjoying the hot sun. Now I am waking up to frost covering everything and I know the winter winds are coming. Which means it is time to start picking out holiday gifts. Check out part 2 here for more gift ideas 
This article includes affiliate links from Etsy. That just means that I get a little fee if you click on the link or purchase something at no additional cost to you. That little fee helps me keep writing these articles. All my opinions are my own. I am featuring these products because I love them.
I have been checking out all the amazing finds on Etsy to fill all those holidays wishes. There are so many extraordinary finds that I don't even know where to start. The best part, a lot of shops on Etsy are taking part in Black Fridays deals and other holiday sales. So you can support small handmade businesses even if you are a little strapped for cash right now (which most of us fall into that category). 
Picture
So, where do I begin? I guess I'll just begin with some amazing décor for around the house. Beautiful handmade items that I fell in love with the second I saw them. 
Picture
Holiday Ceramic Christmas Tree - mudandmaker
First up I want to show you these amazing ceramic Christmas trees from Mud & Maker. I saw these and just fell in love with them. Do you normally go for a rustic look? These would make the perfect addition to your Christmas décor. Do you love ceramics? They are amazing beautiful and would look great on your mantel. These are great and you should own some. 

Picture
Christmas Garland, Blue Christmas Felt Ball Garland - TheBlushingFig
If you have ever visited my blog before and ever perused one of my gift guides before, you know I have a thing for garland. I love it. I have no idea why, all I know is I think it is amazing and I want to put it all over my house. And this handmade garland from The Blushish Fig is no different. They have wonderful handmade felt garland in every color combination you can think of. You like traditional, they have it. You like funky, they have it. Get your self some garland and enjoy!
Picture
Knitting Christmas Tree Ornament - NevadaKnits
But how about a super cute ornament for that tree of yours? Look at this adorable ornament form Nevada Knits. This would look great on your tree, and if you have a loved one that is into knitting, this would make an absolute perfect gift  for them. They don't just offer adorable Christmas ornaments either, their shop is filled with amazing knit items. It's hard for me to pick a favorite.
Picture
Goodwill to All Christmas Stocking E-PATTERN - cheswickcompany
Next is this amazing stocking pattern. Do you need something to keep you busy right now? Are you looking to make someone a very unique handmade gift? Why not pick up this great pattern from The Cheswick Company and make a whale stocking. I know that I would feel so very special if someone made this for me. Don't like whales (really, who doesn't like whales)? That's okay, they have other patterns and even some patterns for tree skirts as well. 
Picture
Christmas Pillow - wfrancisdesign
Now tell me that this holiday pillow from W. Francis Design is not one of the cutest things you have ever seen. I saw this and just though, yeah, I need that. It's so cute and quirky and it would look superb with all my other cute and quirky holiday pillows. And if you love cute and quirky like me, you'll love this pillow cover. 
Picture
Holiday Decorations Peppermint Bark Candle - AtoZCandles
Like most adults women, I have an unhealthy love for candles. And I cannot pass up a holiday scented candle to save my life. I have so many holiday candles it's not even funny. This great soy candle from A to Z Candles is top on my list of favorites because peppermint is my scent of choice. If you are not a fan of peppermint, that is okay. They have so many scents that sound so amazing, you will definitely find something you will love. 
Picture
Large white wool wreath - MarquisWeaves
I'm also madly in love with this charming wreath by Marquis Weaves. I'm really digging on anything wool right now, so this wreath is right up my alley. The wool just screams to be touched and any room just feels warmer with one of these wreaths in it. I adore this. 
Picture
Felt Mistletoe, Christmas Decor, Unusual Gifts, Hostess Gifts, Mistletoe Ornament, Small Gifts, Secret Santa Gifts, Holiday Decor, Wine Gift - TheWindingVine
I love the idea of mistletoe hanging in the house, but the idea of having real mistletoe in the house scares me a bit (it's toxic to dogs). So this felt version from The Winding Vine is an absolutely perfect substitution. It can be used over and over again, so it's great for the environment, and it looks so pleasing in any room. Check out the variety of felt plants they have to offer and you're sure to find something to please you. 

There are just so many amazing handmade holiday items on Etsy it's always so hard for me to pick just a handful, but you can check out some more of my favorites HERE. I'm constantly adding things every time I find something that I think you can't live without (because I can't live without it). You know that I'll be doing a second part to this list filled with gift ideas later this week (look for it on Wednesday), so check back then to see some of my favorite goodies. 

​If you can't wait until then, you can check out some of these other gift guides. Like if you are looking for gifts for that certain furry friend, check out this collection. And if you are looking for gifts under $30, check out this collection. There are so many great handmade items on Etsy, you'll be able to find everything you're looking for this year and support handmade small businesses.

Holiday Gift Guide

11/12/2020

0 Comments

 
I cannot believe it is that time again. It is the holidays already. I just seems like this crazy year was just getting started yesterday. Oh to think back at how the beginning of the year was so carefree and how crazy we were. Just shaking hands and eating in restaurants like we did have a care in the world. Oh, those were the days. But it is November, which means we only have a little time left with 2020, and that means it is time for the gift giving season.  
This article includes affiliate links from Amazon. That just means that I get a little fee if you click on the link or purchase something at no additional cost to you. That little fee helps me keep writing these articles. All my opinions are my own. I am featuring these products because I love them. ​
I have been perusing Amazon Handmade to find some of the best holidays goodies for you and your loved ones. Things that are special and crafted by small businesses with love and passion. Things that are as unique as the people in your life. Things that say "I miss you and I wish we could celebrate together." 
Picture

Treat Yourself (and your loved ones)

Like I said before, it has been a year like no other. It has been both long and short. I honestly feel like the summer slipped through my fingers even though we spent more time outside and at the lake then we ever have. But I also feel like it has dragged on and on and I am wishing for a tropical getaway because I haven't had a break at all this year. How about you? Dreaming of that getaway where you don't have a worry in the world? Well, we cannot travel yet, but we can find some amazing handmade goodies to enjoy a little mini getaway at home. Or maybe you know someone, like a frontline worker, that needs to just have a night of relaxation. Check out some of my favorite goodies to achieve just that. 
Limoncello Shea Butter Sugar Scrub with Lemon Essential Oil and Vanilla Extract -Bidwell Botanicals
First up is this delicious looking Shea Butter Sugar Scrub in Limoncello from Bidwell Botanicals. I love body scrub and I love anything lemon scented for the bath. It is just such a wonderfully refreshing scent. 

And this scrub looks divine. It is made using a small batch method with high quality ingredients. The perfect thing to pamper yourself 

If you're a fan, or you know a fan, of lemon bath products like me, you need to grab this up right now.  
Next up is another amazing handmade bath product in the only other scent I love even more than lemon. This eucalyptus and mint whipped body butter from Sunbasil Soap looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Not only is this the scent that the resort in Mexico we frequent uses (so it brings up memories of that every time I smell it), but it's also works great for my sinuses when my allergies are going crazy. 

It's thick. It's creamy. It's natural. What else would you want? Nothing, that's what. 

This would make a great stocking stuffer and pick one up for yourself while your at it.
Eucalyptus and Mint Whipped Body Butter. Natural Lotion. Unisex. Summer Moisturizer - Sunbasil Soap
Geode Bath Bomb, Hidden Gem, Prize Inside, Rose Quartz, Amethyst - HiRuna Designs​
Finally in the treat yourself, relaxation portion of this gift guide is this amazing bath bomb from HiRuna Designs. 

This handmade bath bomb is the perfect addition to any relaxing bath. Just pop it in the bathtub and you are ready to relax. 

And bath bombs make excellent stocking stuffers. I mean, who isn't excited to get one of these? 

I love this geode bath bomb, but HiRuna Designs has so many others to choose from, you'll find one for everyone on your list.

Cozy Thoughtful Gifts

It's getting cold out there. The snow will start falling. Maybe you woke up to frost on the cars and grass this morning, so you know that winter is just around the corner. Why not pick up some comfy, cozy gifts for everyone on your list?
I have a soft spot in my heart for a good blanket. I am always cold (yes even in the summer time) and I respect a blanket that can keep me cozy. I also am in love with the big, cozy, chunky knit blankets like this one from Shep's Wool.

Think about how happy someone would be to pull this out of a beautifully wrapped box and then cuddle up next to the fire with a hot coco. It would be the best present I could receive. 
Chunky Knit Blanket, Chunky Knit Merino Wool Blanket Large 40" x 60" Throw Blanket, Giant Knit Blanket, Bulky Knit Blanket - Shep's Wool.
Velvet Socks. Mauve Velour Handmade Women's Socks. Homemade Socks - Tatiana's Threads.
And speaking of keeping it cozy and comfy this year, look at these amazing handmade velour socks. I am drooling over these while I type this. 

Look, I'm a sock person, I love a good sock, and I am in love with these velour socks from Tatiana's Threads. 

And there are so many colors available you could buy a pair for everyone you know! 

I love these and all the people in your life need these!

Gifts for the Kids

Everyone has a kid or two on their holiday gift, why not get them something special and handmade as well. Start teaching them about supporting small business and get them some thing really cool they will enjoy! 
Are you looking for that perfect toy for a toddler in your life? Want something that is beautiful to look at, fun to play with, and is also educational? Well check out this awesome balance toy from Woodstore Gifts.

They have a wide selection of beautifully crafted wooden toys perfect for little hands. My daughter has picked out things she would like and things she wants to get for her friends. So their designs are approved by the resident four year old in this household.
Wooden Balance Toy. Educational Toy with numbers for Toddlers Natural Wooden Balancer Game Educational set Handmade Kids Gift Wooden Toys - WoodStoreGifts
Polar Bear - Teddy Plush Ivory Steiff Schulte Alpaca Collectable 10 inches - Bearitz
And how about getting this absolutely amazing handmade stuffed polar bear from Bearitz. Look at how amazing this bad boy is. He is beautiful and I just want to snuggle him.

This is another item that my four year old helped me pick out. She has been talking about it for days she loves it so much. 

So if you have a teddy bear or a polar bear fan on your list, this beautiful bear is perfect for you.

Around the House

Do you have someone on your list that loves to bake ? Or maybe loves to entertain (if we can ever do that again)? What about that one person that collect mugs (who doesn't have that friend)? Well there are so many handmade goodies for them, you'll have a hard time picking something, I know I did. 
I have a soft spot in my heart for any embossed rolling pin and this one from Algis Crafts is no exception. 

This rolling pin is so beautiful, I would display it for all to see. I also would be making cookies nonstop to share with everyone. 

If you have a baker on your list, this beautiful rolling pin would make a perfect gift. Check out all of their beautiful rolling pins and surprise someone this year.
DAMASK ROLLING PIN Embossed cookies with flowers DAMASK PATTERN Wooden embossing rolling pin with ORIENTAL FLOWERS - Algis Crafts
Blue Teacup with Saucer, Stoneware cup, wheel thrown teacup, handmade mug, Cappuccino Cup, Coffee cup, Pottery ceramic mug, Birthday gift - Kari Ceramics.
And who doesn't love a wonderfully handmade mug? No one, that's who. Every person I have ever met loves a beautiful handmade mug. It's just a fact of life. 

And this amazing teacup with saucer from Kari Ceramics would delight anyone on your list. Just think, you could get this cup and pair it with some gourmet coffee or tea. What a wonderful gift for a loved one. 

I love ceramics and love everything in this shop. Check them out and get some goodies for your self and everyone on your gift list.
So there are some of my top pick from Amazon Handmade. I had so many and it was so hard to narrow down just a few items to feature. My list is so much longer than this, and if I have time before the holidays, I might do a second Amazon Handmade gift list. Because as I'm doing my own handmade shopping this year, I'm finding so many new awesome shops and awesome products. 

What are some of your favorite Amazon Handmade goodies? Any products or shops that you think are just divine? Share them with me in the comments below. I'm always on the lookout for an amazing handmade shop.
