Ultimate Gift Guide of Handmade Gift Ideas for Her {You Don't Have to Make!}

Before we get started into this list of Handmade Gift Ideas, let me clarify that these are geared towards a FEMALE audience. Like your best friends, sisters, mom, and probably YOU, dear reader. And me. Ok, mostly me. I hope you will also like these handmade finds for you or someone you love. There are simple handmade gift ideas that will have you saying, “Oh, I can make that!”. I know I've said it myself about a million times. But I can count on my fingers the number of times I've actually “made that”! So when time gets tight, feel great about giving a heartfelt gift they will love that you can D.I.Buy! Can you say win-win!?

Etsy Handmade Gift Ideas

First of all, where do you search for the best in handmade? I start on Etsy of course. It's my favorite online shopping center for all things creative. Grab a cup of tea, hot cocoa, caramel apple cider, or coffee and let's start crossing names off your holiday gift list!

And when you have a night on the town {or anyone without kids!this wristlet wallet from Ravens Moon Designs is perfect to hold your smart phone and lipstick essentials in style.

Handmade Gift Accessories

Handwriting bracelet on wrist as handmade gift idea for her

As an accessory collector I can totally appreciate this sentimental gift idea from Caitlyn Minimalist. She can create a bracelet from a sample of handwriting. How cool is that? Choose a note from your Grandmother, spouse, child, or parent. I'm betting there's someone you know who would really appreciate this.

And when you love succulents you need a few around the house in a darling little home. Enter the latest obsession….the llama! Why llamas? Well, take a look at this little hand-painted llama planter from Scavenge And Bloom! Nuff said. I mean, it's got a monocle for heavens sake!

This family name pillow cover from Qualtry is such a great idea for mom with the whole family or Grandma with all the grandchildren.

Wooden peg family portrait in frame as unique handmade gift ideas for her

Speaking of the whole family…..how about a family portrait done wooden peg style? I love this design by GluePaperScissorShop. They will customize the portrait for each family: number of people, pets, skin tone, hair color, and even clothing style! Your family will forever be immortalized in maple. Just remember hand-painted artwork like this takes time to perfect so expect a longer production schedule when ordering.

Handmade Stocking Stuffers

Red plaid, gold, and black hair ties as handmade gift idea for her

I'm always on the lookout for the perfect stocking stuffer. That gift I can give to just about anyone and they will love. If they have hair, I can guarantee they will love these holiday hair ties on festive cards from Plum Polka Dot. They are as cute on your wrist as they are in your hair. I'm thinking coworker, neighbor, teacher, coach, and friend gifts as well as stuffing a few stockings. Christina has colors and cards for every holiday and tons of party themes. Let her know if you are looking for something specific. She's been known to make magic before.

White bath bomb with red berried and green holly leaves as handmade gift idea for her

The final item of the list of handmade gift ideas is a favorite of mine…..the ever decadent bath bomb! For the last few years I've talked up making these for my girlfriends and then I always run out of time. But let's be real. My version would NEVER come out as gorgeous as this Tinsel Berry bath bomb by Sunbasil Soap! It's so wonderfully bright and festive. I'm in love with Lauren's entire line up of body butters, sugar scrubs, and soaps. Gift any of these self-care items and you cannot go wrong.

Handmade by Someone

Just because it wasn't handmade by you doesn't make it any less thoughtful. So let go of the DIY guilt and find something you love! Gather ideas for the women in your life and start crossing off your to-do list. I'm here to help you and I hope this does. It was an awful lot of fun shopping for handmade gift ideas to share! Thank you for encouraging my creative spark. You are the reason I continue to design and share. Thank you so much for being here.
