It’s Wrap Up time! Check out the best of all things new this week on #MadeByMums and discover delightfully unique handmade gifts to make them smile 😊

We start this week’s odyssey of handmade discovery with a beautiful example of my favourite crafted products, a crochet blanket! This colourful rainbow granny stripe blanket from Handmade By Helen is ready to post and available for £35. At 1.5m x 1.8m this wonderful blanket is perfect for snuggling up on the couch or adding an extra layer of love and warmth to a single bed.

Next up is this adorable crochet graduation photo bear frame from new seller Purple Crafts Box. Graduation is one of those real ‘I did it’ moments in a lifetime – so be ready to celebrate with a commemoration that’s similarly unique! For £25 (incl. UK postage) one of these made to order crochet bears can be on its way to you a week after you place your order, plenty of time to choose which photo to put in this unique frame.

If you are looking for an original piece of art to decorate a wall, then Dream Come Drew has this gorgeous signed and framed flamingo, which has been painted using acrylics and watercolours. You’ll be tickled pink with the price too – just £25 and reduced from the usual £30.

The next piece of wall art is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Handcrafted by Sasha & Libby Gifts & Craft Kits, this 3D picture would make a perfect gift for any Alice fans and costs just £15.

Another popular series is Harry Potter, and these light up bottles are sure to illuminate the imagination of any Dobby fan. Available from Joannamariegifts for £12.95, these upcycled bottles are adorned with a house ribbon and a 9 3/4 charm and have 20 led battery powered lights strung from the cork.

Another great housewarming gift would be one of these personalised ‘home since…’ hand painted mounted cards from One Sassy Scribe. Measuring 7×5″ these cards are fully customisable with you choice of colours, house name and date. Just pop the details and your colour preference in the personalisation box when ordering. Priced at £9.99, these made to order gifts have a two week turnaround.

If you are looking for a stunning piece of jewellery, check out these hand woven flat spiral weave beaded bracelets crafted by The Moonlit Cat. Utilising Swarovski crystal bacon beads, glass pearls and seed beads, these beautiful bracelets are finished with a toggle clasp. This ‘Midnight Velvet’ has been made to fit a 7.5″ to 8″ wrist, but these can be custom made for a different size or using different coloured components. Just pop your preferences in the ‘Order options’ box in section 3 of the checkout process and you can have one of these lovely handmade bracelets on its way to you for £25. Please note that though the bracelet shown here is ready to be posted in a few days, that custom orders have a two week turnaround.

I’m sure most have been enjoying the slightly cooler temperatures this week, though the rain and wind not so much! I know that I’ve been reviewing my woolly hat collection, and with that in mind we’ve included this fur pop pom hat from Letscreateagift. Ranging in price from £15 to £18 depending on hat size, you could grab yourself a fabulous bargain and buy both hats together for £33 (incl. UK postage). Featuring hand made faux fur pom poms, we think that these hats would make a lovely cosy addition to anybody’s winter wardrobe.

The last listing that we’ve chosen for you this week is another wonderful Christmas make by Wiggles Bear. We love this free standing ‘Sleeps till Santa’ Advent countdown chalkboard that has been loving hand-painted on MDF, coming as a separate chalkboard and stand. Available for £17, this wonderful countdown board is made to order and has a turn around of 2-3 weeks. With that in mind, please ensure that you order yours by the end of October so it arrives by 1st of December so your home can enjoy the mounting excitement of that magic number counting downwards!

That’s all from us for another week. Thanks everyone, and have a good one ahead! 😊
