Christmas in July 2026 - Artisan Handmade Gifts - Week 1

 

 

 

Every year, Christmas seems to arrive earlier and earlier.  Because of this, it’s never too early to start shopping for those perfect holiday gifts!   Believe it or not, the jolly man in red and his reindeer will show up in a little less than 6 months - actually 169 days (from when this blog was posted) according to the ever ticking CHRISTMAS CLOCK.  

Christmas in July has become a big thing in brick and mortar stores, with on line stores and all over social media.  So I decided to host a social media promotion:  Christmas In July 2026 - Artisan Handmade Gifts here in my Shadow Dog Designs - Jewelry shop.  Artist friends were asked to share four items - one that is “Christmasy” (in design or colors, etc.) and three others that don’t have to be / or can be, their decision.  Each week, one item will be showcased in a new blog.   This is the first blog post featuring a Christmasy item from each artist.  Since many of these beauties are one of a kind, be sure to shop early (and often) so you don’t miss out.  And please visit the shops of the featured artisans for even more wonderful creations that are handmade / designed from the heart.  Hopefully one or more items featured here, on the next three blogs or in the artisans’ shops will make it onto your shopping basket.  Buy for a loved one . . . and treat yourself!   Remember this year:  SHOP SMALL and SHOP HANDMADE!

 

Here is a great selection of Christmasy items created very talented artisans:
