2015 HANDMADE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

This past year, I have had the amazing opportunity to work with other small businesses. As I walk through my home I see reminders of the talent that is out there: beautiful hand-poured candles, inviting wall prints, toys for the boy, unique clothing and accessories. Even my skin care ritual has changed from "drug-store" chemical-filled soaps and lotions, to organic/vegan/all natural products. I feel SO GOOD about "shopping small" being a mama-owned business myself. This season, my husband and I have vowed to buy at least 75% of our gifts by shopping handmade.

We think you should shop small this Holiday season, too! I've assembled a fun list of high-quality, handmade products from my favorite shops (and some even have special discounts ready for you!).

'tis the season,
