Make It an Artisan Handmade Christmas - Week 1 Favorites - 2025

Posted September 16, 2025

Wasn’t the Countdown to Christmas happening just a few short months ago? Here it is, already the middle of September, and the Countdown is up and running! The ever ticking Your Christmas Countdown clock says there are only 99 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 2025 collections. Hosted by Julie and Harry of Blue Morning Expressions on their Buy Handmade from Makers blog, 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 21 shares of a wide variety of gifts from 7 artists: unique jewelry, lampwork beads, home decor, note cards, stickers, holiday money holders 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:

When you buy handmade, you are buying a “piece” of the artist: cool, trendy, unique, and oftentimes one-of-a kind. I hope you enjoy the items shared below . . . and that one or more makes an appearance under your Christmas tree.
