Christmas in July 2026 - Artisan Handmade Gifts - Week 4

Posted July 29, 2026

Here we are at the last full week of July! oh my gosh, how does the time speed by so quickly??? This is also the last full week of the Christmas in July 2026 promotion. Since Santa and his flying reindeer will show up before we know it, it’s not too early to start shopping for unique holiday gifts for a loved one. There are now only 148 days to Christmas (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. Many of these beauties are one of a kind, so 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 / designed from the heart. Hopefully items featured either here or in the shops will make it into your shopping basket. Buy a unique artisan gift for a loved one . . . and be sure to treat yourself! Remember: SHOP SMALL and SHOP HANDMADE! The indue artists will thank you!

Here are the items featured in this last week of Christmas in July 2026 - Week 4:
