How to shop handmade this Christmas

I think by now you know that I’m passionate about handmade.

Even though I’m a crafter, I don’t have time to make everything on my list, so when I shop I try where possible to buy handmade.

It not only supports small business, but it supports an artist… someone who creates through passion.

Each item is individually and lovingly handmade… and for me that will always be nicer than mass produced.

 

 

I’ve purchased quite a few Christmas gifts from Etsy this year… some locally and even a couple from the US.

When ordering, I suggest checking where the item is coming from and the expected shipping costs and delivery time.

While I can’t show you exactly what I purchased…. because that would give away the surprise for my family members, I have instead put together a few lovely items I found while shopping on Etsy.

Etsy is a fabulous marketplace that not only promotes, encourages and supports creative entrepreneurs, but also offers shoppers access to one-of-a-kind and fabulously unique items.

This makes Etsy the perfect place to shop for that hard to buy for individual… but if you are still stuck, Etsy even have giftcards!

Not sure where to start on Etsy? I usually begin by checking out the latest design trends with the Editor Picks

 

Happy ‘handmade’ shopping my friends,
