Our Curated Etsy Gift Guide, Just For You This Black Friday and Festive Season

Tis’ the season to be merry and for gift giving. With Black Friday around the corner, and Christmas on the not-too-distant horizon, it’s time to start stocking up on festive treats (for yourself and for others). We’re all about supporting small businesses this year, so that’s why we’ve curated our very own Etsy Gift Guide, just for you.

Black Friday picks

Soy candles

Fun fact, did you know that soy candles actually burn slower than regular candles? This means they last much longer so you can enjoy your favourite scent all winter long. The candles from Quien Soy Shoppe have a wide array of fragrances all in apothecary style jars, which we love. Simple yet effective. 

Simple jewellery

Treat yourself to something special from Sophi Makes this Black Friday. Personally, I love the triangular ones that are called ‘The Best Damn Earrings Ever’. 

Groovy pottery

Use Black Friday as an opportunity to update your homeware. Whether its a new butter dish, a salt pig or some nice new bowls, Back Bay Pottery have got you covered with their unique and colourful designs. 

Hand printed linens

I’m not usually one to spend a lot on table linens, but the Julie Peach hand printed linens are enough to change my mind, and hopefully yours too. Choose from napkins, pillows and much more. 

Festive feels 

Handmade crackers

We are loving the sustainable (and recyclable) handmade crackers by Ruths Reusables on Etsy this festive season. Made of 100% cotton, these beauties are the perfect answer to Christmas dinner fun, with an eco-friendly twist. Plus they look good too!

A different kind of advent calendar

Yes, I fully admit that chocolate advent calendars are great, but isn’t it nice to jazz things up every now and then? This Christmas tree advent calendar has little drawers that you can fill yourself, giving each day in December a personal touch. I’d personally fill mine to the brim with wine gums, every god damn day. Why? Because I could.

Whacky Christmas ornaments

Whether it’s a personalised picture of your dog or a blown up image of a family member on a bauble, a homemade woollen mouse on ski’s plus other woollen mice doing an array of activities, or just a hideous-but-great looking emoji decoration (aubergine, say what). Etsy have you covered when it comes to whacky Christmas ornaments this year. 

Velvet stockings

Yes, I said velvet. Velour’s more refined sister, velvet is the material of choice this year thanks to Bibbey Designs. Choose from four colours (red, green, pink or grey) with a faux-fur trim and a personalised name tag, and adorn your fireplace. You won’t regret it.
