There is no doubt about it - handmade is best, period.
I am so fortunate to be part of such an incredible community of makers. Handmade gifts are not only food for the mind, body + soul, but every time you purchase from a local business, crafter, maker, designer; an actual person does a happy dance. I am sharing some of my favourite goods from makers near + dear to my heart. Perfect gifts for family, friends + yourself for the holidays!
These are items + small businesses that I personally know + love. I trust their quality, craftsmanship, ethics + ethos. Some of the best of the best!
