22 of our talented makers have found time list items with us – well done you! Let’s check out the selection of makes that we have chosen to share with you tonight. There are so many more new gift ideas to browse across their shops – which you can now search for by name (#finally #huzzah! 😀)

Welcome our weekly roundup of all things new and sparkly on #MadeByMums! 🤩
