I have a soft spot for handmade gifts. I really, really love giving and receiving something that I know has been lovingly created by hand. I also love supporting local artisans who are working hard to create beautiful/delicious/useful items.

The best place to buy unique handmade gifts online is Etsy. I have been shopping on Etsy for many years, and have found lots of wonderful artisans and handmade items. But there is A LOT of stuff on Etsy these days, and it can feel overwhelming if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for.

Don’t fret, because I have curated an amazing list of handmade gifts for women featuring 12 incredible artists and artisans. All of these items are made by hand in the United States by real people so you can feel good about buying these handmade gifts.

Tom Designs uses a sample of handwriting provided by you on these bracelets (necklaces are also available). This makes such a unique and thoughtful gift, perfect to remember a loved one or capture a young child’s ever changing handwriting.

Handbags by Daphne creates vegan, limited edition bags of all types, and she has LOTS to choose from. This blue beauty can be worn cross-body, as a backpack or as a shoulder tote. It’s versatile AND gorgeous!

Handmade truffles from Xocolatl Chocolates come in more than 30 unique flavors, and they are AMAZING.
