5 Days of Christmas Gift Giving: 3 Different Hats

On the 3rd day of Christmas

Secret Santa gave to me . . . 

Hats are the #1 gift people buy from me at craft shows. They are practical and cute! Here are 3 different kinds of hats I'll have available in my booth at the Legend HS Craft Show on November 15th:

1. Pom Pom Hats

Pom pom hats are always a favorite! I even have mommy daughter matching pom pom hats! This year, I have some pom pom hats available that are made out of natural fibers, and I absolutely LOVE them! There has been a focus lately on eating healthier--things that are natural foods instead of manufactured, and wearing things that are healthier for you is becoming part of the movement as well. Your skin absorbs things that touch it, so wearing things made of natural fibers vs. man-made manufactured fibers (aka acrylic) are better for you too. My favorite new pom pom hats are made out of 60% baby alpaca and 40% merino wool. You can feel the quality difference, and it's amazing! (But yes, higher quality does = a higher price. You get what you pay for!) I haven't seen hats made out of natural fibers like this in stores, so this is a luxury you'll have to visit my booth at the Legend HS Craft Fair to find! You can even get mommy daughter matching hats from me!

2. Ponytail Hats

Ponytail hats or messy bun hats are a must-have if you have longer hair!  There is a hole in the top of the hat so you can pull through a pony tail or messy bun. You can also pull the the hole closed with a drawstring if you aren't wearing a ponytail that day. They're great for chilly days when you're on the run! 

3. Santa Hats

Everybody needs a Santa hat at Christmas time! They're festive to wear, and they make great Christmas tree toppers, which you can see on my sister's beautiful Christmas tree in the picture above. A handmade crocheted Santa hat has a beautiful high quality look that you can't get from a store bought hat. Come check it out!

5 Days of Christmas Gift Giving: 2 Kitchen Scrubbies

On the 2nd day of Christmas 

Secret Santa gave to me . . . 

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!

5 Days of Christmas Gift Giving: 1 Snowball Fight

 On the First Day of Christmas

Secret Santa Gave to Me . . . 

Get ready to start your Christmas shopping! You probably have people on your Christmas list such as coworkers, secret Santas, neighbors, or you might be looking for some stocking stuffers that are fun and unique. When you need something small and thoughtful, handmade gifts are the way to go! Check out these great handmade gift-giving ideas that I'm going to feature in the 5 days of Gift Giving blog post series. You can find these gifts and more in my booth at the Legend High School Craft Fair on Nov. 15th. 

Indoor Snowballs are SO much fun for elementary aged kids through teenagers (and even adults)! These soft snowballs come in this cute see-through bag with 6 snowballs and a tag. It's a great way to let the kids (and adults) burn off some energy indoors and have some fun! The balls are too soft for anyone to get hurt, so have a blast! 

You can also use these indoor snowballs for some easy, organized Christmas games:

Snowman Knock Down Game

Stack cups into a pyramid and throw indoor snowballs at them to try and knock them down. For a snowman theme, use white cups with a snowman face drawn on!

How to win= first team to knock down their entire pyramid wins.

Stuff needed= paper or plastic cups, indoor snowballs.

Santa Pants Game

One player on the team wears hoop pants. The other players try to throw as many indoor snowballs into

the player’s hoop pants as they can in one minute. 

How to win= the team with the most indoor snowballs thrown into the hoop pants after one minute wins.

Stuff needed= hoop pants, indoor snowballs.

Wreath Basketball Game

One player holds a wreath horizontally like a basketball hoop while the other players try to shoot indoor snowballs through the hole to score. 

How to win = The team that scored the most baskets in one minute wins.

Stuff needed = wreath, indoor snowballs

Silent Ball

I also have silent balls for sale, which make a great teacher gift! They are soft balls, just like the snowballs, sold individually and in different colors. This is a super fun indoor game to play with a classroom, and to win the game the students have to stay silent! That is a win-win! This is a great filler when you have to wait for 5 or 10 minutes when lining up, etc. Your child and his/her teacher will love it! Here are the directions it comes with.

So come visit me at the Legend High School Craft Fair!

What's New: Bubble Bugs

 Check out what's new 

from Emily's Art Room! 

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!

Save the Date: Legend HS Craft Fair Nov. 15

 

I'm excited to be at the Legend High School Craft Fair this year on November 15th from 9:00 - 3:00! There are hundreds of vendors at this show, so please save the date so you can come check it out! I have updated my booth thanks to the amazing talent of my two sisters, so I can't wait for you to see it. Here is a little sneak peek of what will be available:

 

I have been surprised to see how quickly so much of the yarn I typically use is gone, and I can no longer purchase it anywhere. Some of these handmade treasures will be the last of its kind when I sell out, so you won't want to miss it! In October I will publish a blog series called The 5 Days of Christmas Gift Giving. Once a week leading up to the craft fair I will share some handmade gifts that you can find in my booth and how I gift them. So be on the look out for those gift ideas and save the date! I would love to see you there!
