Countdown to Christmas Gifts - Artisan Favorites - Week 1, 2026

Posted September 22, 2026

 

 

It seems the Countdown to Christmas was happening just a few short months ago?  Where has the time gone?  Here it is, the middle of September, and the first week of the Countdown is already up and running!  The ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown clock says there are only 93 days (as of today) before Christmas is here!  With that in mind, it's definitely not too early to start thinking about all those people on your Christmas shopping list.  Where to start????  What should you get for them???  A perfect place to shop (and hopefully buy) is on the 12 week Countdown to Christmas 2026 collections.  Hosted by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog, all the collections will be filled with a wide variety of artisan handmade / designed gifts.  A new collection will be added each Friday through the beginning of December.  On week 1 of the Countdown to Christmas, there were 33 shares from 11 artisans, a wide variety of gifts: unique jewelry, journals, home decor, note cards, art and more.  A good holiday motto to remember:  SHOP EARLY, SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all:  SHOP SMALL, SHOP HANDMADE to support small indie sellers!

 

Here are my favorite picks from Week 1 of the Countdown to Christmas:
