6 CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FROM SMALL SHOPS

December 15, 2021

Hi friends! With Christmas almost here, I thought it would be fun to share with you my top 6 Christmas presents from small shops on Etsy.com that I have purchased over the years!

This post may contain affiliate links. For my full disclosure, click here.

I tried to curate a list where there is something for everyone- mom, dad, brother, sister, niece, nephew, etc.

Every single one of these items I purchased with my own money from Etsy.com. I have been using Etsy for YEARS, and I love that it makes it so simple to support small businesses! With all of the hardships incurred over the last 2 years, I thought I would try my best to stick to shopping small and local for this holiday season.

my favorite Christmas presents from small shops

a little note- this post is not sponsored by Etsy or any of these shops. I purchased these items with my own money and am sharing because I loved them.

#1- Wooden Name Puzzle

A puzzle is such a great gift for toddlers! I recently purchased it for my niece who is 3. I love how simple it is, yet it provides a fun way for them to learn the letters and sounds in their name! (as an SLP, I love any gift that helps kids expand on their language skills and sounds ♡)

#2- Personalized Cookbook Holder

This gift is for all of the bakers and chefs in your life! I have a sister-in-law who LOVES to cook! So what better gift than a personalized cookbook holder? Functional and cute!

#3- Custom Poker Set

This one I purchased as an anniversary gift, but it could easily be a Christmas present as well. My family isn’t into actual gambling, but this is super fun to play with friends on game night!

#4- Monogrammed Jewelry Case

A perfect present for all jewelry lovers. I gave this to a sweet friend who loves to travel and accessorize on her trips. It keeps everything safe during travels and free of tangles!

#5- Watercolor Portrait

I love this gift for couples and families! It is so thoughtful. Plus, it is super easy and inexpensive to print at Walgreens or CVS, and then grab a frame from Hobby Lobby (where frames are always 50% off!).

#6- Bracelet & Necklace

I wanted to include these together since they are both pieces of jewelry. The first one is a customizable bracelet set. I love this for mamas, grandmas, sisters, or friends. The second is a personalized name necklace. I love to gift this with children’s or spouse’s names.

Bonus #7- Custom Wallet

I purchased this one for my dad a few years back. It has held up and worn in beautifully. The quality was wonderful!

I hope you guys enjoyed today’s post! Supporting small businesses is important to me, and Etsy makes it easy to do so. I can’t think of one thing that I have purchased off of Etsy and have been disappointed in. What is something that you have purchased from a small shop and loved? Leave a comment down below!

Hi friends! Join me as I embrace slow, intentional living this Christmas season by crafting handmade goods with love for a Christmas Market. I’ll share the process behind our goodies as my mom and I prepare for our first Christmas Market booth.  It's about creating meaningful gifts with purpose, while keeping the true reason for the season—celebrating the birth of Jesus—at the heart of everything. I hope you enjoy!  ~ Haley Beth
