this week’s final guide is dedicated to handmade goods. after last year’s festival of affordable plastic do-dads (i was not so happy with my gift guides last year) i really felt the need to focus on different topics this time around- something that would highlight and celebrate artists making things with their hands and focusing on traditional crafts. so, in support and as part of etsy’s buy handmade pledge i decided to focus an entire guide on the subject. with this guide we’ve hit a total of 250+ gift ideas and we’ll have some more next week. i hope that you’ll find something in each one that’s right for someone you love. missed a guide? not to worry, they’re all archived right here (scroll down) for your browsing convenience. just click here for the full handmade guide, which continues way beyond (37 more products) the “jump”- enjoy!
