Welcome to this week’s #WeekendWrapUp! It’s been a sunny weekend here and we end it by shining the light on the creations of 9 brilliant makers – including 3 who have listed their very first items with us this week 😀

So, grab yourself a cuppa, put your feet up and check out our picks from our latest batch of handmade gift ideas.

First up is new seller Handmade Bracelets Store with this lovely hand woven bracelet in purple and army green. For a wrist sized between 14 and 18 cm, this paracord bracelet can be yours for just £9.90 (incl. UK postage).

Spring is most definitely with us, if the last few days are anything to go by! If you were looking for some suitably seasonal jewellery, Foreva Emme has added these dainty green leaf gold plated earrings for £15 (incl. UK postage).

Or maybe you’re looking for a necklace? In that case, you need to see this exquisite gemstone pendant added by Artis Cre Handcrafted Jewellery. Formed from crazy lace agate, the pendant comes with the added detail of a sterling silver stardust bead, and an 18” twisted curb chain. Superbly crafted, it’s available now for £40.95 (incl. UK postage). Oh, check out her full range of over 40 uniquely created pieces in her shop while looking, it’s a true sight to behold! 😍

If you’ve found yourself watching – and rewatching (and rewatching… 🙄) a certain Winter-themed Disney sequel a lot this week, you’ll almost certainly have been sat watching it with someone who’ll truly appreciate this next item, added by Psquared. Gorgeously hand sewn purple, burgundy and black ribbons together with a 4 petal spacer and imitation pearl have been attached to a crocodile clip and are sure to delight any fan. This sister snowflake crocodile clip is £10 (incl. UK postage).

Speaking of snow, I’m reminded of these delightful little white baby sneakers/booties added by new seller Bespoke Gift Ideas. You don’t have to have white ones, just pop a note in the personalisation box when ordering and she’ll what she can do. At just £15 (incl UK postage) these booties are a great gift and could well end up being one of those precious little keepsakes that get squirrelled away.

Another beautiful keepsake is this oh-so-cute pebble art bunny picture added this week by It’s A Shore Thing. Aptly named ‘Bunnies’, this would make a lovely non chocolate Easter present and you can choose whether your heart is natural wood, red or gold coloured. Just pop your preference in the personalisation box when ordering and one can be on its way to you for just £22 (incl. UK postage).

Easter is just another thing to think about at the moment, and with everything else that is going on, it can certainly feel a bit much. If you know that feeling all too much right now, nothing encapsulates it better than Wiggles Bear’s latest polymer stamped mug! The ‘My brain has too many tabs open’ mug is now available in her shop for £13 (incl. UK postage). These are made to order and have a turnaround time of 2 to 3 weeks, just pop your colour choices in the personalisation box when ordering.

So, you’ve got your cuppa all sorted out, but before you put your feet up, you need to find somewhere to put them! No sooner said than done with this large geo print footstool now available from new seller Spire Design. This wonderfully crafted foot rest comes flat packed so you’ll just have to screw in the legs upon arrival. This item also has a 2-3 week turnaround and is available to order now for £143 (incl. UK postage).

Relaxation setup in place, next you’ll need something to occupy your downtime! If you’re anything like me, a craft project is heaven. Crochet designer Fosbascrochet has added to her collection of PDF downloads with a fabulous pullover pattern (US terminology). With seven sizes to choose from, you can adjust the length, width and sleeve length of the Vestige Pullover according to your taste, using the instructions included in the file. This pattern is currently available at an introductory price of £2.50 until the end of April, so grab a bargain while you can and get hooking sooner! You will receive the pattern as an instant download upon purchase.

Well, that wraps up this week. I’d better go and see how I can sneak some teaching into some fun activities tomorrow! 😉 I think that baking a cake or biscuits might be a good starting point! Stay safe. x
