ThreadBanger HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
so black friday and cyber monday have come and gone but being thread heads you are probably thinking to yourself...."where can i go to get quality, one-of-a-kind, handmade goods?" or "what gifts can i make myself?"
if your family and friends are anything like mine, they are all extremely different which can make handmade gift giving seem a little daunting. the idea of making every gift is a wonderful one but for most of us who have little to no spare time, and this is not a possibility.
the best place to start your shopping is ETSY. there are soooo many different crafters selling their wares, it would be safe to say that you could find something for almost everyone on your list.
if you cannot find anything on Etsy, here are some other great sites you should hit up:
www.indieshopping.com
www.indiefriendly.com
www.modish.typepad.com
www.missmalaprop.com
indiefixx.com
www.ishopindie.com
mymy.us
www.indieblogdirectory.com
www.wickedlychic.com
www.emergingthoughts.com
do you know of any indie shopping outlets we've missed? add them to the comments below!
and if you haven't already, take the Buy Handmade Pledge!
ok, so if you have a bunch of time on your hands and really want to make gifts yourself, here's a little list of ideas that you might get some inspiration from.
- fairy wings (that's what i'm making...hope no one reads this who will be receiving a pair)
- ornaments personalized with pictures of you and the person
- winter wear (stay tuned for some great how-tos)
- elf hats aka pixie hat
- jewelry
(i will add more to this list...but that's all i can think of at the moment....)
and don't forget about the wrapping paper! i like to use old magazines, brown paper bags, newspaper... and i like to dress a package up with random pieces of ribbon. please don't buy new wrapping paper! its such a waste!
