{1. Felt plush stuffed cat by saumansmith; 2. Handmade mittens by SarahMcNeill; 3. Wool cape by OneMe; 4. Retro toy watch bracelet by misakomimoko; 5. Fuwa bow hairclip by HOMAKO; 6. Musica print by blancucha.}
We wanted to share with you our Etsy Gift Guide contribution, it was so fun compiling these items for Etsy. Hope you like them too.
With two sons and only nephews, I don’t often shop for girls, but
finding great girly gifts on Etsy is almost too easy. It’s not easy to
choose from so many beautiful handmade goodies! And those bow hair clips
are too cute to pass up on.~Irene

Anything that spells adventure or requires ingenuity of some sorts makes my boys bounce up and down. These are items I can definitely see my boys having fun with – products that stimulate the imagination and let them enter a world of fantasy and suspense. (Bonus: they are great ways to spend a day indoors if it is cold and wet outside.~ Irene

I still have some of my old childhood toys. I feel a sense of
nostalgia when I see toys like this vintage Viewmaster, which simply
would not break down, even after thousands of clicks.~ Irene

First Etsy Gift guide is for the girls. "If I were still a young girl, I would dream of decorating my room
with these items. That flower garland is one of my personal favorites" Irene. We definitely love these simple yet beautiful products. Handmade things are always Bkid's favorite. The felt flower garland is sadly unavailable at the moment, but if you search 'flower garland for kids' on Etsy there are so many lovely ones too. Enjoy friends!
