Goodness me, what an utterly stunning collection of new additions we have for you this week!

We’re constantly in awe of the amazing talent on display from our makers, and this week’s highlights exemplifies this perfectly.

There’s some beautiful and unique gifts ideas that’d make perfect Christmas pressies, so if your thoughts are turning to festive shopping, check out this lovely set for some brilliant and cost-effective ideas! 😍

And as we move another weekend closer to Christmas – and the preparations for it – it’s here we’re kicking things off with come delightful present and stocking filler ideas.

First up is this beautiful silver moon and letter heart necklace from new maker Emelia & Everly Keepsakes. These start at £20 for one heart charm, and then you are able to select from a choice of other options, up to a moon and three hearts for £40. The hearts can be personalised by popping the initials of your loved ones in the personalised box upon ordering. These would make a lovely gift for a mother or grandmother.

Next up is a very useful item for this year, a hand sanitiser holder on a key ring which can be hung from your bag – so no rummaging about in the bottom of your bag looking for it! Available in black and white, pink and white, or grey and white from The Macramé Lab’s The Arrow Collection, they are priced at £12.99. The Arrow Collection was created as part of an ongoing fundraising effort for the Lingap Gabriela programme. Please see the listing for further details regarding this very worthy cause ❤️

Whilst out this week I’ve found that the chill on the wind is much more noticeable. If like me you get cold ears then you would probably appreciate a beautiful twisted headband/ear warmer like this one from The Gift Pixie. Priced at £10, this vibrant headwear will keep you cosy without messing up your hair! Alternatively, you could use it to warm your neck instead of a scarf! 😉

Speaking of keeping cosy, how about this gorgeous chunky crochet jumper from Becie’s Birds & Bees? Sized for M/L and in duck blue, this winter warmer costs £40 and ready to post tomorrow! Perfect for when you’re out and about walking or in the garden.

If you’re trying to avoid the cold outside, you may be temped to snuggle up inside and watch some movies or read a few books. Maybe you’ve taken up or rediscovered a craft? Whatever you are up to it is always nice to have somewhere special to enjoy it. Part of what can make a place special is the decor, and these beautiful hand drawn elephants on a water colour background would make a delightful addition to any home. This A4 piece from Dream Come Drew could also make a lovely gift for a nursery or elephant lover. Ready to be posted tomorrow, this original framed piece is priced at £40.

If reading is currently your thing, or you’re looking for a beautiful stocking filler for a book lover, then Stitch Street Crochet has added another beautiful crochet flower to her bookmark collection. This time she’s added a bunch of cute daisies priced at £4.50 each. Pop on over to her page and treat yourself to a gorgeous flower for your book 🌼

Now, I don’t know about you, but when I’m reading, I do like to have a cuppa at hand. This week Bella Casa has added some personalised wooden coasters to her shop for £5 each – perfect for creating that super relaxed ambiance! You can have the recipient’s name and drink of choice added by putting the details in the personalisation box when ordering. We also think these would make super secret Santa gifts for a colleague – but note they are made to order and currently have a turn around time of 1 week.

As well as coasters, we’ve been thinking about other items that decorate a table at Christmas and new maker JuTouch Ateliê has added some cotton festive napkins to her shop, including these Christmas Forest Napkins. You get to choose from red or green and each set of four costs £15. These have an estimated dispatch of five days from ordering.

And my last highlight this week is this pack of Christmas cards from AnnMade. Featuring an image of Bethlehem, a gold embossed star and handprinted trees with the words ‘A star led the way’ these beautiful cards have the message ‘Happy Christmas’ inside. Priced at £6.75 this pack of six cards is ready to be posted tomorrow, giving you plenty of time to get them written and posted to your loved ones.

With Christmas drawing closer, and many areas already experiencing postal delays please pay attention to estimated dispatch dates and any details of turn around times for made to order items so that you reduce your chances of disappointment caused by late receipt.

And that is a wrap! Thanks for reading – have a great week ahead everybody 😊💕
