Make sure you pin this post or share it in your letter to Santa because there are some gorgeous handmade essentials here that you’re not going to want to leave on those digital shelves!

As a maker, I love to shop handmade so for this gift guide I have stuck to small creative business and makers on Etsy.  It’s really important to me to support independent creatives, especially over the festive season which often keeps creative businesses alive for the rest of the year.

So this festive season, you can point your loved one in the right direction by sharing this guide or gift a yarn loving friend.  From stocking fillers to more generous gifts, have a peek at these treats for crocheters and yarnivores alike!
