What to buy your bean for christmas

Welcome to our guide for buying a present for your bean. Mum has helped me chose the presents from Etsy http://www.etsy.com/index.php. We love Etsy. All the things we have bought from sellers there have been awesome. Artists around the world sell their wares, there is no bidding like ebay, they set a price and you buy now. Mum has found that if you want something custom made, most sellers will do anything in the shape, style and colour you want, if you give them enough time. We like to support people who make their own stuff, and we hope you find something you like.

Please enjoy looking, and if you can help out we ask that you spare a few christmas dollars to help our friends in need this holiday season.




We like this sweet pillow from http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5082785, only $22 (US), sitting on such a nice chair too.




This is a beautiful vanilla soap, and mum says a nice gift. This seller makes some amazing soaps that look too good to use, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=37986




For our friends who like to read, like my mum. This seller is from Parishttp://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=37986 , oh la la and makes these sweet book marks from her art. They are only $6 (US).


Snuggly merino armwarmers made in New Zealand!! Mum has a pair of these in black, and she says they were great in the winter especially typing in her cold bedroom. You can find them here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=37986




This artist does the cutest hand made stamps at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5180073 You can also get sweet ones custom made with a name, pefect as a present and this one is only $11 (US).



This lovely print, is from a kiwi girl who makes art at her kitchen table. Her beautiful prints are only $18 (US), and all so sweet. You can visit her Etsy shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5854064

This is Ulla. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5709113 A very sweet softie, who looks like she needs to escape from that cage.

This is one of mums other fave bags in denim. It looks perfect for lugging all the work stuff around, and would look just as good going out at night. She also makes the same style inn other colours, yummy. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5531346





A sweet little cotton scarf with raindrops patterns, perfect for keeping your beans neck warm on those cold winter nights. This seller also does a nice range of tops too. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=55338

This is just a small range of some of the fantastic items that you can buy on ETSY, and all were for sale today. The great thing is you can shop from home, and they all will be delivered to your doorstep!

  7. Oh wow! Such beautiful things! On Saturday, Kate went to something called the Mothers Market, which is a market held by a group of local designers and 'makers' who make a lot of beautiful, Etsy-type stuff. They have a blog with links to the individual makers' websites: http://hobartmothersmarket.blogspot.com/

  8. Hi Poppy,
    I wanted to look at the bookmarks but the link is for the handwarmers. However, I might buy some of those too.
    Can you see if you can find the bookmark link?
