Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 6 Favorites - 2025

Posted October 21, 2025

 

 

It’s hard to believe that we’re already half-way finished with the twelve week Countdown to Christmas 2025!  That means Christmas is bearing down on us and will soon be here.  Yikes!!!!  According to the ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown Clock, there are only 64 days (as of today) until Santa and his merry herd of flying reindeer arrive once again.  With the rapidly approaching holiday season in mind, Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions have for years now hosted a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2025 promotion of artisan handmade / designed items on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog.  Start your holiday shopping now on the Countdown - a perfect place to buy unique gifts!  This week, 24 items from 8 artisans were shared in the wide-ranging gift collection: jewelry of different styles, note cards, Christmas stickers, Hannukah napkins, printable art, giclee prints and more!  A wonderful motto to follow: SHOP EARLY and SHOP OFTEN!  And, most of all, SHOP HANDMADE to support small indie businesses.


In addition to sharing each handmade item from the 12 week Countdown collection to this Pinterest board and to my Twitter feed,  I pick a favorite item from each artist (hard to do!) and feature them here on my blog.  Here  are my favorites for Week 6:
