If you prefer to shop small this holiday season, Etsy is full of Christmas gifts and treats by kawaii artists and makers around the world. All the picks below are handmade or created by artists so you know you’re getting something unique and special. Check their shops for non-festive designs too.
Dapple & Dot (UK) have so many adorable animal-themed wooden decorations, from tree ornaments and garlands to larger decorative scenes, which are all made in-house so many of them can be personalised. This advent calendar has 25 pieces to add in each day and even if you start a bit late this year, it will be lovely to use again every year.
You can always rely on Ey Up Chuck (UK) for fun jewellery and these new gingerbread earrings are the perfect way to add a little Christmas cute to your holiday outfits with glitter and hand-painted details. They also have designs with stars and gnomes.
Katnipp (UK) has a huge Christmas collection, packed full of the sweetest things. There’s a few mugs available and this Cinnamon the Chubby Reindeer design can be personalised so no one else can borrow it.
For something truly unique, there’s a few things left in the Myostery (KR) Christmas collection. All their ceramics are handmade and decorated – this Jolly Christmas Tree plate is incredible but there’s some smaller ornaments too.
These handmade ceramic Christmas decorations at Tramai (EU) are a bit more affordable so you can pick up a few for gifts or your own tree. There’s 6 cute designs to choose from, plus a separate bunny in a santa hat.
LittleBlueSeal (AU) makes amazingly-detailed polymer clay seal figures and ornaments and there’s so many sweets-themed designs for your Christmas tree. My favourite is definitely this Gingerbread Cookie but there’s also donuts, pie and peppermint candy.
If you know someone crafty, Hawthorn Handmade (UK) has some lovely Christmas craft kits including needle-felted ornaments and a felt tree brooch. The kits include everything you need so you can get started straight away.
Bookmarks are a nice way to make gifting a book feel more personal and any avid reader would love the encouragement to stay at home and get cosy by the fire. All the bookmarks illustrated by Kiki Studio (UK) are double-sided so you get 2 different designs and there’s an optional tassel too.
Candles are always lovely at this time of year and JaaM (UK) has lots of cute festive designs and scents. If you can’t decide, there are mixed gift sets – these candles are handmade from 100% eco friendly soy wax and fragranced with premium oils in Christmas spice, gingerbread and winter pine scents.
