Hi there! This week's 10 Things I Love list is all about gifts you can make for people you love. I hope you get a little inspiration to add some handmade to your Holiday list! 1. I love this wreath DIY by Smile and Wave. Absolutely adorable!
2. I would love a painted pot like this one (from Elise from Enjoy It) made under my tree! It's so pretty. I love black and white patterns.
3. I am crazy for these teeny tiny instagram prints! These are an adorable gift idea. Pugly Pixels explains how to make them.
4. This glitter banner DIY by Katie's Pencil Box is so sweet. I would love to hang one of these in our home!
5. This birds nest necklace by Sincerely, Kinsey is a great handmade gift for any girl on your list! It's so pretty.
6. I love this Calendar Journal made with vintage postcards by Ashley Campbell for Design Sponge. This would make a great gift for a newlywed couple or new mother. What a lovely way to record memories and events.
7. Oh my goodness… This DIY Fox Lamp is so perfect for little ones. What a lovely gift idea! (full tutorial here)
8. I love this dreamcatcher by Lune. This would make a great whimsical gift!
9. I love this DIY phone case by SwellMayde.
10. Last, but not least, I just love this cat quilt by MerMag. See instructions here.
Have a lovely Sunday! Elsie

Cute handmade gifts! I’m really loving making handmade gifts for friends and family this year. It makes giving the gift even more special. :]
Wonderful things! I particularly like that calendar/journal idea.

Once again, since you have no respect for native people & native culture, a dreamcatcher isn’t a whimsical gift, it’s part of the Ojibwe culture and in our culture, they have a purpose.
It’s just really sad that someone with such an audience can’t learn a little cultural sensitivity.
fantastic! Elsie, you have just saved me from some last minute gift buying madness. These tutorials are going to be put to good use immediately.
Thank you!
Love it! And just finished making the little fox for my nieces’ birthday!
These are all great projects! I especially love the glittery banner!

Thank you for all the kind words!
Ashley, I feature aesthetics inspired by many different cultures around the world. I don’t know why it would automatically be assumed that this project is disrespectful. I think that it’s beautiful and that’s why I featured it. As with all cultures, I have nothing but admiration for Native Americans.
I love that glitter christmas lyric idea. i posted about it last week too!

Cultural appropriation is so freaking whimsical, you guys!!!!
Since you think it’s fine and you have “nothing but admiration,” please admire this blog: http://mycultureisnotatrend.tumblr.com/ and perhaps start to understand why it is disrespectful.
Totally perfect.
I’m all over the instagram prints.
The fox would be adorable as just a toy, too. 🙂
My favorite has to be the cat quilt. So cute!
There’s nothing quite like a DIY project 🙂 Just attended a handmade craft fair last week and got me so inspired to get my hands dirty and do a few DIY jobs myself 🙂

I’ve been loving that cat quilt for a little bit..quilts are so intimidating. It’s on my bucket list, though ^_^

Great roundup! I love the wreath and the quilt!
Love them all but I realy love the tiny print!
aww such lovely gifts! I specially love Rachel’s handmade wreath, it’s so colourful!
“someone has been posting things for little ones quite a bit lately…..I feel an announcement in the future…”
Hi! Definitely no announcement coming up. Just a coincidence. XO! Elsie
I am glad Maus understands. Cultural appropriation isn’t cute.
I have been a long time reader of your blog, because I like your style. But it has always bothered me how you treat Native people. Especially your whole “Princess Tiger Lily” period. My dad doesn’t look like Chief Red Man at all, oddly enough.
So awesome! I love these ideas! Thanks for the list Elsie 🙂
Goo! I’m always a sucker for foxes – I own two fox dogs! Cutah. Loaf it!
Peace, Love and Puppies
