As we all know the holiday season is fast approaching and if you are buying handmade online for your loved ones (a great way to support small business artisans!) the window in which to do so is now. I decided that for the next few weeks, while it is still possible to receive items in the mail before Christmas, my Lunes Loves Etsy feature would leave it's one shop focus and instead be a gift guide of sorts. This first installment is of lovely items all under $50 (and most under $30).
1) Vintage Christmas Tree Ornaments - I love the idea of giving Christmas decorations as a holiday gift. These days there are so many options out there that finding something unique isn't hard AND every year your recipient will think warm and fuzzy's about your friendship while decorating their house for the holidays.
2) Scented candles never get old and are always appreciated (a friend bought me an amazing one from West Elm as a housewarming gift and I think I burned through it in 3 weeks). These beautifully packaged and ethically/environmentally produced options from The Sydney Hale Co. look amazing.
3) A beautiful photograph - I'm always looking to build my (meager) art collection and love the idea of selecting the perfect image for friend or family.
4) I love the clean lines and quality craftsmanship of these iphone cases - and that they are the perfect unisex gift.
5) A great tote - somehow, no matter how many awesome totes I have, I want more. I've always loved the brand name 'Forest Bound' (and of course their salvaged bags as well) and would love to carry this tote in my very urban surroundings. (photo via fieldguided)
