I am giddy excited to share with you all a sneak preview of this year's Holiday Gift Guide!
Now, I will have you know, although we are crazy about the Christmas season at our house, we try our best to wait till after Thanksgiving to haul out the holly. However, the goal of this guide is to promote handmade and small business artists and shops, so I like to launch the gift guide before you all go spend your money on Black Friday;)
This year, I have a spectacular all star line up of guest contributors sharing their DIY, Recipe, and Styling tutorials to help encourage you to make your Christmas a personal one. I am almost finished curating the themed spreads that will cover everyone on your list this year. There are some ridiculously cool finds I can't wait to share!

Here is where you come in. I have a few spots left for product features, so I want you to nominate your favorite shops or send me your favorite finds for little ones, girlfriends, men, and family members. I am not officially taking submissions due to the time constraint, but please feel free to leave your suggestions, nominations, and leads in the comment section below! (Tip: white backgrounds for products and high quality images needed.)
Also, there are advertising options in the gift guide with three size options available at affordable rates (starting at $40). If you think your shop or business would be a great fit for the guide, please email me for the advertisement information with the title "Holiday Gift Guide Ad Inquiry," with a link to your site included in the email. You can view last years guide here. The projected viewings for this years guide will is a noteable one!
Can't wait to share. The launch will be November 12th! Thanks for all your support.
Love, Anna
I'm so excited for your gift guide, Anna!

I loved last year's gift guide! I ordered etsy prints for my older stepkids and they both loved them. Super fun, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHi Anna!
ReplyDeleteI want to nominate my friend, Kerrie Balma, and her wonderful company, Woodenhive. Kerrie makes a variety of hand-stamped items from antique silverplate pieces she finds at estate sales and such. She has a beautiful garland that spells out "Merry Christmas" - it's made from flattened teaspoons and ribbon (amazing!!). You can view her website at www.woodenhive.com. Let me know what you think (I customized the e-commerce site for her and took the photos so can send you what you might need). Thanks so much! kathy
I can't wait to see your perfectly and carefully curated gift guide! The graphic for it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I read that you are looking for suggestions Ohhh Lulu came to mind. It is an exquisite handmade lingerie etsy shop. I am so in love with all the pieces. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ohhhlulu
My friend makes lovely hand stamped metals, jewelry, canvas paintings, etc. I have to recommend her shoppe - Littlepaintedpolkadots.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite item in the shop right now is a ribbon cuff with a personalized metal tag. It's quite beautiful and right on trend.
The shoppe has great options for men, women, and children.

This past July I opened up an ecommerce gift boutique where one can find affordable gifts, gorgeous paper, beautiful home decor, festive seasonal decor, personalized/monogrammed items, and everything you would need to entertain in style. I have high res images and most of the products are on a white background. The link to the shop is www.shopwaitingonmartha.com and my email is waitingonmartha@gmail.com.

Hi Anna,
ReplyDeletePlease consider my jewelry. You can view my shop here- www.kerrieyeung.etsy.com. Thank you so much.
Yay! Love your gift guides. I have a great recommendation/nomination! Maddy Nash custom clutch purses - graphic fabrics and leather materials, fold over and metal clasp styles. They're different because you can customize what fabrics you use where, etc - but also include a special, personal message on a tag inside. It's a great way to add a personal tough to a gift for a fashionista. :)
