Make it homemade with MadeIt this Christmas



Yes ladies and gents it's that time of year again. Bonfire night has been and gone so I can, with almost 100% certainty, tell you that my mother will be stressing out over Christmas. Christmas is upon us and if you haven't unfollowed the annoying ratbags yet, someone on your Instragram feed will be able to tell you exactly how many sleeps it is until that day.

Christmas is great, I love Christmas not for the receiving anymore but just the whole Christmas spirit and feeling. One of the things I love every year is going Christmas shopping for this few special people in my life for whom I part with some money. Christmas shopping is the best way to get in the Christmas mood but sometimes it's ridiculously hard to find something special for someone on the high street. Everything's the same and someone's bound to already have it. So why not search a little further than your high street and try out madeit. The online, homemade market open 24/7.

Yes you heard me. 24/7. As if I need to say anymore to get you wandering over but I will. Madeit sell unique products from hundreds of different creators and crafters. All the items are handmade. This all adds up to mean the products are totally unique and there's more variety than on all the highstreets within 100 mile radius of you. And you can shop 24/7 which will obviously take away from some of the Christmas shopping stress.

There are hundreds of great gifts, homeware products and other bits and bobs just to make Christmas more Christmassey but I've scoured through these hundreds of products, for you, to find four, yes just four, of my favourite items that I think would be great for Christmas.

Christmas candy cane romper/playsuit by bubbymakesthree


A baby in the family? Friends just got a new addition to their family? Is there a cuter gift for a wee ones first christmas? I don't think so. The colours, the pattern, the cute little bow detail all add up to Christmas and this playsuit is divine and available in four sizes up to age 1.
Price 38.00 AUD
Personalised santa sack by Tiges and Weince
Children, and yes nearly 21 year olds, love stockings and sacks and a personalised one is even better. This personalised santa sack is available in different designs. Not only is great for kids on their bedroom door but also just as a Chrismas decoration in the living room. The sack is completely machine washable and durable so hastle washing it before next Christmas if the selection box melts. But be quick cut off order date for arrival before Christmas is December 4th. 
Price: 34.95 AUD 

Three finger puppets by Love From Annie

The perfect fun gift for young children, or my dad, these finger puppets are cute and clearly handmade which, for me, adds to the magic. With a reindeer, a snowman and gingerbread man kids, or my dad, can have loads of fun playing with these on Christmas day. Also great for telling bedtime stories around the Christmas period. Great stocking filler.
Price 10.00 AUD
