Hair clips or ponytail holders from Meeting Street Designs, $12.25 for the set pictured below.
This stamper necklace from The Small Object, $24.
Mushroom pocket case, $20 from Gifts Define.
A couple of nice handmade items, maybe some underwear and socks. Eva’s favorite present one year was a flashlight! Don’t think my kids won’t have some Disney princess stickers in their stockings. Our kids are the smallest victims of our consumer culture and my four-year-old actually CRIED for princess underpants. My mother says that they received oranges and nuts in their stockings when she was a child. We’ll try that this year and see if there’s a revolt.
My front porch smelled like rosemary mint today as I opened the door to see my package from 4th Ave Soap Co. I bought these soaps for teacher gifts and they are truly beautiful and smell divine. Check out all of her bath and body products in her Etsy shop. If you’re looking for holiday gifts be sure to order before December 5.
These would also make wonderful hostess gifts (see yesterday’s post).
If you’re lucky enough to go to someone else’s house for the holidays, don’t forget to bring them a handmade gift. No time? Check out these hand printed items.
Hand towels always make a nice hostess gift. And if you’re not looking for something over at Monarch Monograms, try these bright and happy screenprinted kitchen towels from PataPri ($14 each or $40 for a set of three).
These lovely votive holders from Maryink ($16 for the pair) would be great for the holidays. Her shop also has some nice tees and aprons.
Or these dinner napkins from Michelle Brusegaard ($22.50 for 4).
Or these botanical gocco print gift cards from things are better with a parrott. $3 for 5 tags makes a great little gift or you can tie one on a bottle of wine to make it something special.
