YOWZA! It's My Favorite Things: Themed Christmas Gifts!

I thought I'd put together a very small collection of themed gifts--all handmade!-- to get yer noodle thinkin' for the whole shopping part of Christmas. Have fun looking...& shopping!
This post & the following FOUR posts contain gift ideas for The Chef/The Baker/ The Cook, The Dad or The Dude, The Diva, The Kid, & The Crafty Chik!


THE CHEF/THE BAKER/THE COOK...

This Medium Everyday Spice Kit by Purpose Design is about as beautiful as it is functional! This shop claims to be where "Metropolitan Home meets Mad Scientist".

I use a torn up, stained, splattered & ripped version of this. It's a conversion chart! It's laminated & super useful & plus--it has cupcakes on it! It's called Conversion Confusion by Green Chair Press & it can made into a sturdy card to keep in your recipe books or a magnet for easy reference. Either way, it comes laminated--so it won't end up looking like mine!

The cook can be glam too! This charm necklace celebrates a love of cooking. It's called Beat It from a shop called "Jewelry by MatsudaBunch". She has LOTS of themed charm necklaces--so check them out!

I'm all about trivets. And, if they can be quirky AND useful, I'm TOTALLY all about it! I spied a "buttered toast trivet" from this same shop, so you'll have to settle for this fun PLAIN Toast Trivet instead! Made by Magic Forest Creations. They also make LOTS of beautiful pottery.

This just HAPPENS to be called The Cupcake Collection Oven Mitt. That's 'cause it matches a cupcake-adorned apron from the same collection. But, if you're like me & love polka-dots--then get this mitt!

Speaking of APRONS....Get this Crazy Cupcake Love Apron from WhiMSy love. This vintage apron has 4 big pockets & cupcakes galore--decorated with vintage fabrics & vintage buttons!

This is a set of 6 magnets called Cooks Essentials made by Eclectic Selections. They're created using graphics from a 1950's cookbook.

The Kid

Some kids don't like bathing. But I bet they will when they get this super cool Dalmatian Dock Rubber Duck Soap! By Sweet Lollipop Shop.

Who is the fairest of them all? Whoever is wearing this cute-r-iffic crown, that's who! This Royal Crown is created by World of Whimm & is made of washable fleece.

And for the boy with an imagination here's a very cool gift! This Kids Superhero Cape is CUSTOM--you pick from the patterns provided &/or you can send in your own fabric. By Panjo.

This is my new favorite kid thing. Washable Fleece Playfood! Pictured is the salmon with lemon. Browse Remember When's shop for more foodie fun- & at a great price too!

I always like to include something crafty as a gift to my girls, something crafty THEY can make. This Bracelet Kit for Children by Handmade Living. The kit comes with lucite beads & elastic string. Recommended for ages 5 & up.

nanaCompany is one of my favorite shops. I often drool over her pretty kids aprons & sweet little things. Her shop is closed for baby #3's soon arrival, but browse her sold items & drool yourself. Pictured here is her Sweet Treat Gift Set. It comes with a child's apron & a baking utensil set all tucked inside a European valise-style lunchbox. nanaCompany's sweet playtime sugar cookies are among my favorites too!

This plush toy named Penelope is from Skullboy Worldwide, Inc. Several styles are available.

Bobbies & clippies in every color under the sun are available for a sweet price at Little Daisy Chains. Pictured are the Green Daisy Clippies. Little Daisy Chains specializes in jewelry & hair accessories for kids & teens (young-at-heart adults!).

The Diva

These Purple Dress Notecards were created by Laura at Katydid Designs. They're smart & sassy---just the way a diva should be!

Stressed Diva Lavender Herb Sleep Pillow by Black Rose.

Whipped Clean Italian Lemon Cream Foaming Body Wash by Gudonya TOO! A few swipes through it with your bath pouf produces loads of bubbles for a sweet & clean shower experience!

Crocheted lip balm holder with keychain made by Knitting Dreams. There are loads of different colors & styles in shops on Etsy, but I think these are such a cute little gift!

I have had this "hearted" for a long time. I think it is very sweet! It's a pocket mirror made by DC Designs.

I really adore knitted items. I think one reason for that is because I don't knit. This watermelon colored Knitted Pouch is among many knitted things I find so adorable! By evagodeva.

Another WhiMSy love item! I know, I know. But, I'm allowed. It's my blog. I can do whatever I want. HAHA! This quirky, but very unique item is called Plug Art. They come in different shapes & many different styles & this happens go along with the whole "diva" thing. It covers your plugs with class.

The Dad or The Dude

This Metro line of men's bath & body products are created with a spicy citrus blend of bergamot, tangerine, pepper, cinnamon, bamboo, sage, sequoia wood, vetiver & musk. This Body Detail Gift Set for Men is created by Spa Therapy.

Daddy Embroidered Heart Hanky is by Mud Flap Grrrl Designs.

This is my absolute favorite from "The Dad or The Dude" list! It's a dad holding his daughter's hand--the "Pedestrian Crossing" sign from Budapest. This 5 x 5 fine art photo would look so sweet, framed, & given to pops! By Friendly Made.

I think cuffs are very cool & very sexy! And these cuffs by Fosterweld were the absolute coolest I could find on Etsy! They're made from genuine leather, hand dyed & feature a piece of recycled, painted & distressed steel.

These are quite silly & fun! They're Steak Cuff Links! Just looking through Inedible Jewelry's shop is a treat in itself! The store is 100% jewelry made to look like food! (Cupcakes too!)

The Crafty Chik!

Love it! Love it! Love it! In fact, being a crafty chick myself, I love every single one of the gifts in this themed list! This Button Bar of Soap is made by Kitsch Niche. They even have sewing kit & cupcake soaps!

So crafty cool! This pink & burgandy Sew a Go-Go T-Shirt is by Moxie Madness.

I think a really neato gift for ANY crafter would be a crafty kit. I love the Cup O Joe pincushion kits by Betz White. She is selling 'em fast--there was a cute green striped one I was gonna show, but it sold. Bummer.

This Crafty Geek Decal makes a fun stocking stuffer! Made by Vinyl Wall Art, it comes in 16 different colors. Check this shop out for a ton of other vinyl wall decals!

Every crafter needs a super hero to help with those piles of undone projects. This portrait is by The Dreamy Giraffe & it's called Cut and Paste Girl.

I always think a hodge podge of crafty doo-dads is a fun gift. Am I the only one? I love getting random bits of items to craft with! This collection of stuff-n-things is called Pretty Alright in Pink Crafty Curios from Naughty Secretary Club.

This Apple and Pear Crafty Bag is created by Kelly Zarb: Thrifty miss. Any crafter would be delighted at a gift of ORGANIZATION!!!

Misty Waterwoman makes these Crafty Girl Keychains. Another great stocking stuffer!
