Christmas in July 2026 - Artisan Handmade Gifts - Week 3

Posted July 22, 2026

 

 

Well, here we are a bit more than halfway through July and Week 3 of the Christmas in July 2026 is posted.  It’s never too early to start shopping for unique holiday gifts for a loved one since Santa and his reindeer will be here sooner than we think!  There are only 155 days to the big day (from when this blog was posted) according to the ever ticking CHRISTMAS CLOCK.  

 

Artist friends were asked to participate in a “Christmas in July” promotion, sharing four of their favorite items - one that was “Christmasy” (in design or colors, etc.) and three others that didn’t have to be.  The first week was only Christmas items - the weeks since have been a mixture.  There is only one more week to go, Week 4.  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 artists for even more wonderful items that are handmade or designed from the heart.  Hopefully items featured here or in the shops will make it into your shopping basket.  Buy for a loved one . . . and be sure to treat yourself!   Remember:  SHOP SMALL and SHOP HANDMADE!

 

Here are the items featured in this week's Christmas in July - Week 3 blog:

Valentines Day Gifts: Artisan Handmade or Designed - Week 1, 2026

Posted January 15, 2026

 
 

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, February 14, almost a month away.  With that in mind, a collection of wonderful Valentine's Day gifts were pulled together.  Each week for the next four weeks, a blog will be posted on the site of Shadow Dog Designs to share the artisan handmade / designed beauties that were posted to an Inlinkz.  There are plenty of Valentine's Day themed items, but also ones that are not so distinctly traditional Valentine's gifts.  Many can be worn / used all year long.  If something catches your eye, be sure to click either the photo or the description below to be taken to the artistan's shop.  To see all of the gift ideas in one place, be sure to click this link: Valentines Day Gifts: Artisan Handmade or Designed - 2026.  All of the gifts shared here were created by small business owners.  Be sure to SHOP SMALL this Valentine's Day and support an idie business.  We will certainly appreciate that!
