Marion's Mittens & Handmadeology Encourage You to Shop Unique for the Holidays!

I've joined Handmadeology's Shop Unique initiative to encourage you to choose handmade gifts this holiday season. While it's important to shop locally, ordering from artisans on Etsy also supports small businesses and individuals all over the world.

The folks at Handmadeology explain it best:

"We are the real sellers on Etsy – some of us are running our shop as a side-business, while others are selling full-time. We are moms, dads, sons, daughters. You see us selling at craft shows and boutiques. We are entrepreneurs, risk-takers, and passion-sharers. We want to share our creativity with the world and help connect you to real-life makers – not a robot or a disconnected manufacturer."

Check out Handmadeology's website for a blog post about this idea and to see a list of hundreds of places where you can purchase handmade gifts. I'm sure you'll find something you like!

And if you're looking for cozy gifts to keep your friends and family warm, Marion's Mittens are always a perfect fit. We offer hand knitted mittens in four sizes for babies, four sizes for kids, and one size for adults. We've also got scarves, baby sweaters, baby afghans, and some vintage items. Visit us on Etsy to find your perfect gift today!
