I don’t mean to frighten you, but today we are exactly 5 weeks away from Christmas. Do you have your shopping done? I certainly don’t! But it’s about time to start!
I always enjoy looking at the holiday gift guides that bloggers put together, but the ones I really like are the gift guides that are a little less mainstream with fun items you can’t find at Target or Walmart. I spent a little time on Etsy last weekend looking up random things that I love and put together a list of some of the handmade items I found and loved. Hopefully it’ll help you find something special for a loved one!
This gift guide is 100% not sponsored (though I did contact all the shop owners shared here to get permission to share their photos in this post), and if anyone happens to be shopping for me I would gladly accept any of these items 😉 You know, just saying…
For the Cook/Breaking Bad Fan
This Let’s Cook Cutting Board is awesome. Actually, prior to putting together this gift guide I had looked into buying one for myself (and may still). Have a Breaking Bad fan on your gift list? Then this is a fantastic gift idea for them!
For the yogi who doesn’t take herself too seriously
AKA – me. There’s nothing like a good pun, and for some reason (maybe because I double as both a yoga instructor and Zumba instructor) this tank cracks me up each time I read it.
For the Downton Abbey Fan
The Dowager Countess has some of the best one-liners in TV history. This might not be one of the funniest, but unlike many others this one doesn’t require explanation making it the perfect quite to put on a mug. And since I’m both a mug fan and a huge Downton fan this had go on the list!
For the Girlie Girl
A six pack of handmade body butter? Need I say more? Don’t want a six-pack? They have a huge selection of body butters available, personally I think the sound of their Forest Mint Body Butter sounds amazing, or maybe Chocolate Vanilla is more your speed? Take a few minutes to check out their store Herbolution and I’m sure you’ll find one you are dying to try!
For the Ornament Collector
This set of Beeswax ornaments (also from Herbolution) would make the perfect addition to any collector’s tree. They are eco-friendly and naturally scented (plus they shimmer. Who doesn’t like a little shimmer!?)
For the Harry Potter Fan
Any fan of the series will immediately recognize the symbol of the deathly hallows in this bracelet making the perfect gift for any fan who loves the series, but doesn’t want to walk around wearing their adoration on a t-shirt. I’m all about the bracelets these days, and would love to sport this beauty!
For the Cupcake Lover
I told you I searched things I love, there should be no surprise that something cupcake related would pop up here! I just loved the look of this cupcake soap, and then I read that is made with shea butter and jojoba beads (plus sprinkles!) I knew it had to go on the list! I bet it smells amazing!
For the Yogi
This lotus flower necklace is a great idea for the yogi on your list. Not everyone want to wear a pun-y tank to class, but anyone would be proud to wear this gorgeous and simple lotus necklace. What can I say, it’s just beautiful.
For the Cat Lover…
You couldn’t have possibly thought I’d have an entire post of gift items without including something cat related did you!? This crazy adorable cat mug. Someone please send me one. I need one stat! Like for realz.
Even if none of the items I’m sharing today looks right for anyone on your list, you should totally check out Etsy, it’s like the world’s biggest craft fair that you can attend in your living room. I heart it!
