Don't forget to visit my booth at the Legend High School Craft Fair on Saturday Nov. 15th from 9:00 - 3:00. This raffle basket, called Cookies for Santa, will be in the raffle donated by Emily's Art Room! I am in booth 72 in the small gym. See you there!
Handmade gifts are always a thoughtful gift for a neighbor, a coworker, or as a stocking stuffer. Here are 5 choices of unique, handmade ornaments. Although it is a small gift, it is something you won't find anywhere else! That makes it personable and one of a kind.
You can choose from these beautiful rustic meadow ornaments which come in large, medium, or mini size. You can buy a set for your tree, or get one special ornament with a charm that shares a special sentiment. They are beautiful and go well with a modern farmhouse decor as you can see on my sister's beautiful Christmas tree in the picture above.
These cute little ornaments are simple but unique! They make a great addition to the outside of your package to dress it up a bit, and they are ornaments you keep and add to the tree.
These are some of my favorites because they are so cute and so practical! I definitely give gift cards to the teenagers on my Christmas list, and these stockings are a great way to "wrap" them! It gives that personal touch when giving gift cards or cash, and the stocking can become an ornament, a decoration, or it can be used to give a gift card again!
This little ornament is adorable, and his nose lights up! You won't find an ornament like this at the store. It's one of a kind, and being handmade makes it even more of a unique gift.
5. The Christmas PickleThe Christmas Pickle is an all-time favorite at our house! If you've never heard of the Christmas Pickle tradition, this handmade ornament comes with a tag that explains it: Start a new family tradition with the Christmas pickle! Hide the Christmas pickle deep in the tree. Whoever finds it first gets to open the first present on Christmas day! The original tradition includes giving an extra present (such as candy) to the person who finds the Christmas pickle.
At my house, we hide the Christmas Pickle over and over again because it's just fun to find! This makes a great gift for a family with young kids. I also had a customer last year that said it was the perfect gift for her pickle ball team!
There are so many great, inexpensive handmade gifts that you can give to the people on your Christmas list! And by shopping from a local artisan, you support small businesses while giving a personal and unique gift to your family and friends.

Are you looking for a small gift for your neighbor, a secret Santa, a coworker, or a stocking stuffer? Try pairing a 2 pack of handmade kitchen scrubbies or washcloths with a cute holiday towel and some Mrs. Myers dish soap. It's a thoughtful and practical gift! Mrs. Myers dish soap is a natural, paraben free option you can get for under $5 with a lot of great smell options--they even have special edition holiday scents! It's handy for a sink of dishes or for your friends who make their own hand soap or cleaning products. These handmade kitchen scrubbies are all we use at my house! They are REALLY good for scrubbing dishes, and if it gets too dirty, you can just throw it in the dishwasher.
I love this practical gift idea, but I needed a cute way to package it to make it work. I just rolled up the towel, tied it altogether with a ribbon and added these tags from Hip 2 Save. Cute and practical! You can get your handmade kitchen scrubbies in my booth at the Legend High School Craft Fair on Nov. 15th!

Wreath Basketball Game
These little Bubble Bugs are adorable, soft, cuddly, and they come with an adoption certificate! The elementary aged kids on your Christmas list will fall in love with these sweet little Bubble Bugs! They are also a great gift for a teacher because they can become a "classroom pet" and the stuffie passed around during morning meeting. Each Bubble Bug comes with its own name, but it's okay to rename it before you make it official on the adoption certificate. You can find these sweet, mess-free pets in my booth at the Legend High School Craft Fair on November 15. Be sure to come check it out!
I am super excited about how these bookmarks turned out! I will be featuring these crocheted bookmarks for the first time at my craft show on Nov. 15th . These bookmarks would make a great Christmas gift/stocking stuffer!
