50 Fabulous Gift Ideas Under $50 (Handmade by Makers)

Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas?  Well, for me and my husband, the answer would be a resounding ‘no,’ but perhaps not for the cheery reason that you may think. Hubby & I are always in search of ways to reduce the stress and chaos of the season. One thing that we try to do each year is to purchase most – if not all – of our Christmas gifts in November.  It really helps us free up time towards other preparations before the Big Day (like decorating – yay 🙂 ). So, if you’re like us – or you simply want to get more organized this year – then let me get you started with this list of 50 fabulous gift ideas under $50 handmade by makers.This gift guide contains a list of 50 fabulous gift ideas under $50 - all handmade by makers, including artists and small merchants. The perfect gift idea for those who love unique, one-of-a-kind, handmade gifts.

    Oh I loved the “Fear the Beard” idea Jelica, I have got to get the hubby one of those and they seem to have a whole bunch of other goodies that may just be making the way to South africa soon. And our purr babies would love one of those chunky knitted beds too. Thanks so much, it’s a really great list

      There are definitely some really cool finds in this list. I loved the fur-baby beds myself – too cute! But then again, pet pics always always melt my heart. I’m a sucker for a cute pet pic!

      Glad you loved the list as much as I did! I was so surprised by just how many lovely pieces there were that are affordable AND handmade. A rare combination, but one that is becoming a bit more common as more and more makers strike out on their own. So great to see!
