Y'all, I put a decent amount of Etsy gifts on the home gift guide (linked HERE if you missed it), and I'm happy to report that many of them are now sold out thanks to you. Truly, nothing makes me happier than getting an email from an unsuspecting and delighted maker after featuring them. So we thought we'd do a full post about our recent favorite Etsy finds to see if the power of this blog can make some Christmas magic for these artists and for anyone receiving their wares.

Handmade Scandi Candle Holder: Maker-made, timeless, seasonless - just a beautiful handmade piece.
Ceramic Candle Snuffer: Why blow out a candle when you can snuff it out (and leave this styled next to it). Particularly handy for mantel candles so you don't blow wax all over your wall (true story).
Single Wall Candle Sconce: This would look so pretty flanking a piece of art - lit or unlit.

Cable Knit Candle: This candle with a cute box of matches is a no-brainer:)
Striped Candlestick Holders: How playful, whimsical, and fun. Design forward for those who love color and pattern.
Wooden Candle Holder Vase Set: A beautiful classic set that could be divided up into two or given together as one gift.

Reversible Hand Block Quilt: So lovely as a coverlet or folded at the foot of your bed (or over a sofa).
Ruffled Linen Pillowcase: Washed linen in the prettiest colors (and goes "Granny" in a not too fussy way).
Handwoven Wool Coverlet: Such a beautiful color and simple pattern.

Walnut Scallop Cutting Board: It's the scalloped edge that does it for me. I bought this for myself :)
Handmade Salt Cellar: Would look gorgeous next to your range (and made by a small maker).
Scalloped Wood Cookbook Stand: I'm still analog in the kitchen (I hate looking at my phone or laptop and having to keep unlocking the page). How pretty is this???

Japanese Salt Cellar: Endlessly obsessed with beautiful things for your countertop, this moody salt cellar (with some Jacobson salt, perhaps?) would so so pretty in a more contemporary organic kitchen.
Wood End Grain Cutting Board: Wood, but make it checkered. 10/10
Rounded Ceramic Butter Dish: My love of butter dishes knows no bounds...See?...

Handmade Butter Dish: Dark and moody, with that loop on top.
French Butter Keeper: Pretty sure if the French do it this way, you should, too.
European Style Butter Dish: For those who like a butter dish that fits larger sticks (like Kerrigold).

Leather + Ceramic Trinket Box: Think nightstand, entry, on top of a stack of books, or bathroom vanity :)
Handmade Stash Box: Handmade and so sweet, useful, and the round shape is great on a stack of square books (stash a handwritten note inside!)
Animal Trinket Box: For those who crave whimsy. How cute are these?

Pedestal Bowl and Vase Set: A statement set for sure, but I love how versatile.
Spiky Serving Tray: Oddly punk rock for a serving tray :)
Ceramic Serving Tray: Classic and such a pretty train track shape with the most delicate lip.

Blue Pottery Platter: So pretty on a shelf leaned vertically.
Ceramic Carved Oval Platter: I love this handmade feel (for those who love warm minimalism).
Stripe Serving Platter: A fun pop of pattern, but in a classic color palette.

All of these are so great for styling - on top of a stack of books to hold a candle and matches. On your nightstand to hold hair ties and jewelry, or on your vanity or entry table for your keys. I can put these literally anywhere - just ask :)

Marbled Stone Bubble Coaster: Such a sweet little border (ooh, could even be a wine bottle coaster!)
Cloud Concrete Tray: Organic yet still simple (and not boring).
Stone Catchall: I love how the light dances on this catchall.

Ceramic Jug Vase: Do not sleep on jugs for vases - the handle adds to the shape of the overall flower arrangement.
Wooden Box With Lid: Great for matches, keys, or on a nightstand with your unmentionables.
Leather Wall Pocket Organizer: I love this for a space that needs to utilize vertical wall space for storage.

Original Abstract Painting: Original painting (sold, but the artist has many more). Art is the hardest thing to buy for the home. These pieces are easy to love!
Original Mixed Media Collage: One-of-a-kind, original collages and many to choose from (trust me, giving art is my FAVORITE).
Original Oil Painting: Original oil painting (this one has sold, but there are so many more pieces in her Etsy Shop). I love these colors (and only one!!)

Small Oyster Painting: Oysters and sardines are having a moment - don't ask me, but I'm into them, too!
Minimalist Bird Art Print: The color palette is soft with that pop of blue - feels both sophisticated and playful.
Original Watercolor: NOT A PRINT!! An original watercolor that adds so much soul to a home (many different available!)

Charm Necklace: I have this and already added charms that my kids have given me over every Mother's Day (fantastic hack, ladies - just add for pretty charms and everyone wins. Kids love picking out charms that represent their interests that year :))
Monogrammed Golf Ball Marker: I bought these for my FIL in hopes that he loves them and brags to his friends about me:)

Handkerchief Ceramic Bowl: I love how this bowl catches the light (it dances around) on top of a stack of books. Comes in a creamy white as well (and can hold nuts, matches, remotes - anything!)
Bobbin Frames: These lacquered colors are so beautiful, and this maker does this so well - support her instead of the big box knockoffs! These live on our family wall up the stairs and reflect the light.
Customized Tennis Bracelet: My sentimentalism knows no bounds. I sent this link to Brian for an Elliot and Charlie bracelet (in gold). I'm not a huge diamond lady, so I'm ok that it's not fine jewelry :)

I feel like I can get lost on Etsy in the best of ways. Saturday morning with my coffee, deep diving for art and pottery that I likely don't need but deeply want. It's a win/win to support smaller makers, local or not. And if you missed our "Best Stores to Shop Small in Portland" post from Wednesday, head over there if you are a local to support our incredible creative community here. xx
