I am so excited to introduce you to an incredible group of small business owners just in time for Christmas shopping season! I love Target as much as the next girl, but there is something special about supporting creative small businesses. I love knowing where my gifts came from and knowing that my gifts tell a story. These creators are passionate about their work and it shows in their dedication to their products and their customer service. I will be telling you more about these shops and the craftsmen behind them in the next couple of weeks.
This is my Handmade Christmas Wish List, and scroll all the way to the bottom of this post…there may or may not be (but definitely is) a surprise!
Pine Terrace Treasures – Mason Jar Wall Sconce
This sweet decoration is perfect for any home – you can fill it with flowers, craft supplies, silverware, or anything else you can imagine!
Rustic Lane Creations – Hand Painted Christmas Sign
How fun is this Hand Painted Christmas Sign!? I love the song lyrics and fun graphics – it would be a sweet addition to any Christmas decoration stash.
Marked with Love by Amy – Personalized Hand-Stamped Jewelry
Amy’s hand stamped jewelry is so personal – it would be a precious gift for any mommy (or teacher, nurse, friend) in your life.
Muddy Wanters Ceramic Creations – Honey Jar
I love collecting pieces of pottery – especially when I know they were made by hand! They truly are timeless. This honey jar with a cute bee knob will make a ‘sweet’ gift for anyone who spends time in the kitchen!
Maiden Long Island – Mason Jar Candle (Lifetime Refillable)
I love these Mason Jar Candles! You choose the scent and the candle is sent to you. When the candle is used, you simply mail the jar back to them and they will refill it with the scent of your choice for free!
These little crocheted hats are adorable! I love it when gifts are both fun and practical and I am always looking for good hats to keep my little one warm.
Yellow Robin – Toddler Infinity Scarf
This is why I love creative moms! She saw a need for stylish, comfortable accessories for toddlers and decided to make them! I am totally in love with these little scarves – they are a perfect gift for the little girls in your life who love to look cute.
Love Grows Everything – Labradorite Tiger’s Eye Necklace
Marcela Calay Laurenze, the owner and designer of Love Grows Everything, creates unique jewelry that is absolutely gorgeous! She uses ancient stones to create one of a kind jewelry that I just love!
Preserve My Memories – Christmas Wreath
This Christmas wreath is both beautiful and unique. I love the sapphire blue and silver color – wouldn’t it look lovely hanging on a window frame above a fire place!?
Word Letterpress – Set of Gift Tags
It’s no secret that I have a passion for well-designed things. These gorgeous letterpress gift tags fit the bill! She uses high end paper and a vintage letterpress to create unique tags that will elevate every gift you give this Christmas.
Lots of Bubbles – Set of 4 Handcrafted Soaps + Whipped Sugar Scrub
I love handcrafted soaps – especially in fruity or fresh scents. These soaps are beautiful, as well, making them the perfect gift. She also has a whipped sugar scrub that just sounds like pure luxury.
YEHs Production – Knitted Ornament Hat
This sweet little ornament hat is so precious! I would love to take pictures of my little one wearing this hat under the tree!
Polka Dot Drawer – Cluster Necklace
While I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, I think these statement necklaces are amazing! You can choose your color combination so that it features your favorite colors, your favorite team colors, or your school colors (teacher’s gifts, anyone!?). My favorite is the Tiffany Blue and Gray necklace.
Crafterpillar – Vinyl Wall Art
This vinyl wall graphic is so cute – it even glows in the dark! It would look adorable hanging up in my little girl’s nursery, maybe even surrounded by a big chunky frame.
CitySewist – Color Me Messenger Bag + Fabric Markers
This is so clever – a bag you can color! I love that you can choose the color of the straps to make it a little more personal. It would be a perfect gift right before a long car trip!
Chameleon Kids – Polar Bear PJs
I love these adorable kid’s pajamas! One of my favorite traditions is getting a pair of pajamas, a book, and hot chocolate to open on Christmas Eve and these would be perfect!
Wit & Wander – Custom ‘In Our Home’ Printable
This is currently hanging up in our home – I love the sentiment and I love that you can customize it with your own family rules (Ours says “We use the force”, ha!)

I love the “In Our Home”! I think it is always an insight into a family when you read a customized list of their rules/values/beliefs.
It really does add a personal touch! I love it when people incorporate something they do together as a family (board games, hunting, sports, movies, etc.) into their ‘rules’ – it makes them so much fun!
