If you’re anything like me, you really try to plan ahead for holiday shopping but then it’s almost Black Friday and you’ve already forgotten what you bought everyone back in July and have to go pull the secret box of gifts out of your closet before you write your new shop list.
Hopefully you’re not anything like me!
But regardless of if you’re super organized with your holiday shopping or doing things a little haphazardly, I hope these gorgeous handcrafted items found on Etsy can inspire you to pick up some thoughtful gifts while supporting small businesses and artists!
As a quick reminder, I participate in Etsy’s affiliate program and receive commission if you purchase anything through one of these affiliate links.
Personalized Name Crayons
I love these name crayons! I order them all the time for kids gifts when I’m not 100% sure what the kiddo is into these days.

Birth Month Flower Necklace
Am I putting this on the list because I want one? Maaaaaaybe. I think it would be a really cool way to honor being a mom by putting Theo + Ellie’s birth flowers in there.
Daffodils and narcissus, so totally perfect for a necklace like this, right?!
Feel free to steal this idea for your own mom. 😉

Handmade Stained Glass Miniature Christmas Trees
These probably wouldn’t be a good idea to keep in my house with two tots running around but when they’re old enough not to break everything glass in the house, I would love to cover my whole house in these twinkly, sparkly illuminated Christmas trees!

Multicultural Crocheted Nativity Set
More crochet and more nativity sets! I think I might be seeing a pattern here….
I love that this nativity is so inclusive and diverse, and you can customize each of the figures as well. That’s the kind of meaningful holiday decor I want at Christmas time!

Printable Black Nativity Set
This one is more of a stocking stuff but again, I love seeing diverse Nativity scenes! You can always print it out to keep your kiddos entertained when they’re home from school for a couple of weeks, too! The gift of quiet time, amiright?

Mr. & Mrs. Claus Gnomes
My friend Alana makes these handcrafted clay gnomes and I squealed with delight when she showed me her set of Santa and Mrs. Claus. I feel like I need to create a little Christmas village scene for them to play in!
