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 Ca...

Products I have shared lately

I have been making more of an effort to share on social media but with that, the blog has fallen away. I am going to try and find some sort of middle ground so I thought I would start with things I have been talking about elsewhere on social media lately. To start with we have my new favourite book (albeit that it is for children). Mary and Frankenstein - Both the story and the illustrations and enthralling    And this is another gorgeous children's book that I got for the illustrations, though more specifically the colour palette. I think the pop of neon with neutral colours is something I want to experiment with.   what is your favorite illustrated children's book? Finally - my product of choice at the moment is Turner gouache though I am going to treat myself to some of these Shin Han hybrid paints this month to try them out I have set up an Amazon store with some of my favorites so it is easy for you to find everything I love in one place.   h...
