Shop Small this Christmas - a few of my Christmas gift ideas from Etsy

I have always been one for shopping small where I can but like many others this year I will making more of an effort as for many small businesses their futures really do hang in the balance.

With their usual sources of income around this time of year being canceled, online market places like Etsy, really are important for small businesses in securing those all-important sales.

I have been using Etsy for many years.  My first purchase was in May 2009, and in that time I have collated a HUGE list of favorite sellers and items, most of which would be perfect for Christmas, and it is some of these that I will be sharing with you today.

This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I may earn an affiliate commission. I would never share an item that I would not purchase with my own money. Learn more here.

Let's start with a few stocking fillers...


  

Tinsel Tits and Cracking Nuts soaps from Go La La £5.95 each 




Chilli Oil and Spice Rub Cooking Gift Set £6.50 from Carringtons





Sweary Cat Socks £8.00 from Katie Abey

As someone who has tried their hand at a few new crafts this year (my plan is to share more of these on the blog and social channels) I have stumbled upon a few craft kits that would make great gifts.






There are 3 different embroidery kits available from Wildfloss Embroidery for £32 each and having completed kits 1 and 2 and started kit 3 I can promise you these would make gorgeous gifts.

There are different colourways for each kit so the link goes to the main shop, but the kits are easy to find from there


I havent tried this Woven Necklack Kit £17.00 from stitching me softly, but as someone who loves a statement necklacke, I think this would make the perfect two in one gift.



Or perhaps your recipient is a candle lover in which case this soy candle making kit £23.00 would be perfect. 

Etsy really is a treasure trove of items so there really is something for everybody.

From jewellery....


To self published books (for adults and children)....

The Land of Thimbleton by Nancy Alice £17.99 (signed)


To artisan chocolates

Don't these look stunning !!!!!!





There really is something for everyone so grab a cuppa and a notepad (as you a going to come away with your own Christmas list too) and enjoy a relaxing hour browsing Etsy to see what special unique gifts you can find this year that will not only be treasured by the recipients but will hugely support a small business.

Do share your finds with me too.

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me)  you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars  that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options.  Cheesies Advent Calendar £32.50

Get That Glow // Highlighters with a twist

Gone are the days that highlighting was left to the professional makeup artists on magazine shoots. Now highlighting is a day to day occurrence for most of us I love that the trend has evolved enough to provide those of us who don't want a gold champagne shimmer. Some of us are aiming for extraterrestrial realness (maybe that's just me) so the colours now available are perfect and when they come in a palette as beautiful as the  Blacklight Highlight - 6 Color Palette from BH Cosmetics (and for only $16.99 !!!) you really can't go wrong. Whilst I try and sort the area in my room for shooting beauty pictures I thought I would share just a few of the items on my highlight wishlist. Are there any highlighters on your wishlist at the moment? Tessa

Over the next few weeks I will be sharing som e of my favourite Christmas present picks , which Etsy have already started doing over on the  Etsy Editors' Pick's page , but for today I wanted to share some of my favourite Christmas cards. If you have never shopped on Etsy before and wanted to dip your toes into the water before investing in a bigger piece, purchasing a Christmas card would be the ideal way to start. Nowhere on the internet or the high street will you get such amazing selection.
