Can you believe that the holidays are already here?? That means it’s time to take out all of cozy sweaters, beanies, blankets, drink lots of tea, and get ready for the holiday spirit to be everywhere. I love this time of year so much! I love walking around to see the beautiful Christmas lights that decorate the buildings, and see all of the cozy winter clothes that come. My family used to only go to Disneyland when it was decorated for the holidays just so we could see all of the decorations. I get giddy just thinking about that memory and all of the fun Christmas decorations there!
Besides decorations, this time of year also brings about the craziness of gift giving and lots of shopping for loved ones. It’s so hard to figure out what to get people as gifts. For makers usually the answer is, “Please get me yarn!!!” However, sometimes it’s fun to get other gifts for makers, or maybe you don’t do any crafts. That’s why I am happy to present the 2018 Handmade Holiday Gift Guide! This gift guide is filled with things to make for others, ready made handmade items, and lots of holiday inspiration. As a small business owner myself, I love getting to support other small businesses! This post contains some wonderful products from different makers that would make some great gifts for your loved ones this holiday season. You might even find something that you want to get for yourself, hehe.
