Gifting handmade this holiday season

Did you know that when purchasing gifts, buyers actually prefer to gift homemade items as opposed to manufactured? The reason is simple: it shows love - it shows that you care and went the extra mile to find - or make - something handmade. Gifting handmade can reveal thoughtfulness, which is an attribute that can convey love.

Handmade items also have other benefits:

They allow for better customization, and they tend to show greater attention to detail - these two items make for a great personalized gift that a loved one will cherish. Plus, you get to feel good too because when you buy handmade, you’re usually supporting someone’s dream!

Handmade Gifts for the Holidays

For the spa lover or busy mom in your life

Check out my recent post on self-care. The spa lover and the busy mom could use some me-time in the form of a bubble bath. For this, I recommend a bath caddy, or a full bubble bath gift set! Look out also for a loofah and some candles to complete the mood.

For the hostess with the mostest or new homeowners

Why not personalize a cutting board? Check out some options here and here!

For your pet or the pet-lover

Consider looking for a personalized pet-feeder or even better: a new little house for Spot or some homemade pet toys!

For the Baby or the new parents

It’s winter time, so why not keep the baby warm with a handmade knit?

For the jewelry-lover, or just your mom, sister or friend

Jewelry goes a long way when gifting your sister, mom, or good girlfriend. And something as simple as initials or personalized name jewelry can really strike the right chord.
