Good evening, and welcome to the first #WeekendWrapUp of May! This week, 10 of our makers have added a wonderful range of all new gift ideas to their shops, so grab your cuppa, put your feet up and check out our showcase choices 😀

First up are some delightful little crocheted baby booties from WhiteHeartJane. These beautiful baby pram/cot shoes have been crocheted using the kerryjaynedesigns pattern. They are made from soft DK yarn and are washable at 30 degrees. The pair shown is for newborns and measure 9 cm along the sole. They are 7cm high and 5cm at the widest point. For £7.50 (incl. UK postage), they would make a super baby shower gift and are available in any colour, with or without the contrasting trim. A daisy can be added to the front or you can have a ribbon in the colour of your choice. Just pop your preferences in the customisation box.

Next up is new maker Happy Days with a wonderfully soft and colourful 13th Doctor Who scarf that will delight any Whovians out there. For £90 (incl. UK postage) this 13th Doctor inspired accessory can be heading your way.

Staying on the science theme, Steppy Hen Creations have some great conical flask shaped earrings available for £5 (incl. UK postage). These cute earrings can be made in different colours. Please just pop your colour choice in the customisation box and she’ll see what she can do! If the last month of home schooling has taught you nothing more than how valued your kiddies’ teachers are, we also reckon they’d make fab ‘thank you’ teacher gifts for any chemistry or science teacher!

I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to admire all the beautiful fruit tree blossoms this year, but it looks like Psquared has been inspired by them along with the orient. Normally made to order, she currently has a gorgeous cherry blossom hair comb available for £13.50 (incl. UK postage). Made with grosgrain and satin ribbon of pink and red and a hint of gold, this hair comb has a pearlesque bead to create extra opulence.

That’s your head sorted out, so how about down to your feet? Foreva Emme has added a lovely stainless steel anklet with a moon with the beautiful message ‘I love you to the moon and back’ to her shop this week. This thoughtful gift can be on it way for just £9 (incl. UK postage).

Another beautiful gift to show your love that you care is this beautiful layered heart mandala from Curious Elle for £8 (incl. UK postage). Cut from coloured card and assembled as a 3D product, the heart hangs from a hidden ribbon fixed to the back.

If you’re looking to add a touch of bohemian style to your home then check out the latest functional addition to Nutty Knots’ shop. This fabulous pair of macramé curtain tie backs can be yours for just £35 (incl. UK postage) and come in the natural colour of the recycled cotton cord.

Meanwhile, if you are looking for a cute storage solution for a nursery or children’s room, Makepeacemade has added a wonderful trio of safari animal crochet baskets for £30 (incl. UK storage). Each set has an elephant, giraffe and lion. Ideal for those intrepid animal loving wild ones of your own!

We all know these are not normal times, and in these challenging times, two of our makers have added thoughtful items that might help you or a young one in your family.

Writing down worries and fears can be a fab way to rationalise thoughts, and Joannamariegifts‘ selection of fully lined worry fairy and monster themed notebooks for older children (and adults) are a great way to do just that. Available in wide range of enticing designs, just specify which you’d like when ordering. Available now for £7.95 each.

We’re great believers in arts and crafts helping with mindfulness and maintaining a happier, calmer mindset. Wiggles Bear’s blank MDF hanging rainbow template would make a creative, fun and inclusive way to engage that positive mindset. At £6 including postage, it comes all ready to decorate – how it’ll look when given pride of place in your window is entirely up to you!

Stay happy, stay healthy, and have a great week ahead everyone 🙂
