10 Great Handmade Gifts for Her (With Free Canadian Shipping!)
As an Etsy seller myself, one of the amazing things about shopping on Etsy is connecting with shoppers and other sellers from all across Canada and even throughout the world. Unfortunately, one of the downfalls of this, is how expensive shipping can get – especially on bigger on heavier items! Luckily for you (and also me, who am I kidding), Etsy is currently in the middle of their first Canadian Free Shipping Event, which features tons of handmade gifts for her from makers, shops, artisans and designers all across Canada (and even a few from the US as well). It’s honestly the perfect time to purchase a few of the items that have been sitting in your favourites list for what seems like forever!
If you don’t have anything on your wishlist already, don’t worry. We’ve put together a little list of our own, and all of them are perfect for gifting to others or yourself! Be sure to purchase any items you have your eye on before May 14th 2018, that’s when the event ends!
- Book Hou Designs | Grey Triangle Tote
A neutral bag that is anything but boring! I love that the pattern is printed on organic cotton, and it’s completed with a bottom made from waxed canvas. Which means extra protection for when I drop it down at a coffee shop without checking how dirty the table is (it’s happened more than once, you’d think I would learn by now!). Regardless, it’s a beautiful bag that would most likely stand the test of time even with me!
- Keepwood Eyewear | Wood Sunglasses
These adorable sunglasses are on sale and offering free shipping. Double score! They are on a mission to provide top-quality shades without the environmental impact of traditional cheap plastic eyewear – and that’s a mission we can totally get behind. Just last year I bought my first pair of quality sunglasses, and I will never go back to buying cheapies again. Quality over quantity folks, it’s something I’ve learned as I’m getting older and it applies to everything!
- Foxhound Collection | Grapefruit and Fig Scented Candle
You guys, if you haven’t smelt the glorious scent of fig scented candles, you are truly missing out! Buying candles online is HARD. Because really, how accurate are those descriptions anyways?! I love these candles because a) they are a stone’s throw from my little hometown of Chester, Nova Scotia and b) they are hand-blended in small batches with the finest fragrance oils. No icky artificial scents here, which is the biggest pet peeve of mine when it comes to quality candles. I need something that burns clean, lasts for a decent amount of time, and smell fresh and natural – and Foxhound Collection candles do it all! But don’t just take our word for it, you’ll only have to read a handful of their reviews to see that they’ll probably become your next favourite too!
- Korrinne Vader Handmade | Halfmoon Tassel Long Necklace
Mixing ceramic and porcelain with fibre arts has been a big trend this year. From earrings to necklaces, I’ve been seeing a lot of media mixing and I’m totally digging it. I love the minimalistic and simplistic design behind this piece – making it the perfect statement necklace for neutral t-shirts – or even rompers like in the picture below! Korrinne Vader Handmade also makes these rompers, and other beautiful clothing pieces which are also included in the Free Shipping Event as well.
- Loper and Haas | Handmade Envelope Clutch
When it comes to purses, I’m a big clutch person. I love the way they look, without needing to worry to much about how they are going to impact my outfit or sit on my shoulder. They are there when I need them, but they are small enough to set down on a table, or even slide into another bag if I need to. Plus, they always make my outfit feel just a little classier (like this picture – doesn’t this beautiful clutch elevate her jean short outfit to the next level?!) The large size could also work as a tablet or iPad case as well, perfect for travelling!
- Jules by Jodilynn | Druzy Pendant Necklace
Druzy’s are one of my favourite stones because of how different each one can look – plus they really do sparkle in the sunlight. These necklaces are hand wrapped using sterling silver or 14K gold filled wire, giving them a truly unique look. This posting is for Jodilynn’s white druzy’s but she has many other listings available in her shop for different colour stones, and different settings as well. Plus, she’s a stone’s throw (see what I did there?!) from where we live, up in the beautiful Okanagan Valley!
- Hadas Shallom | Large Pottery Mug with Pure Gold Heart
Add some love to your (or someone else’s) kitchen with a beautiful mug! Perfect for your to your morning coffee or afternoon tea, this mug is made of natural clay that is burned multiple times at 1200 degrees! Pretty impressive, right? It’s finished off with a gold ring along the top, as well as a small heart on the front. It’s dishwasher and food safe (naturally), but you’ll want to keep it out of the microwave due to the gold accents.
- Forest Nine | Personalized Leather Journal
Made with tough rustic leather, these journals are built to endure…. but are still feminine enough for that special lady in your life. Personalize each journal with both initials on the front, as well as choosing what type of paper you’d like included inside. Shoppers get to choose from lined, blank, recipe or even water proof paper. How cool is that? As with all leather products, this journal will slowly become a keepsake, as it takes on unique markings as the product is used, handled, and loved over the years, making it truly unique!
- Clair Ashley | Mama Floral Necklace
This necklace make’s a great gift for Mother’s Day or birthdays! It is hand stamped in Saskatchewan, Canada and is made with a 1″ lightweight aluminum disk. The chain is made from stainless steel, so it won’t tarnish no matter how often it’s worn. Perfect for those mama’s who tend to wear their jewelry all the time (even during bath time with the kiddos, when there’s a good chance of getting wet!)
- Loper and Haas | Custom Leather Keychain Set
I know, I know, this one looks a little ‘wedding-y’ but the main picture I wanted to share had some swear-sies in it so I decided to include this one instead. Click the link here to see these adorable keychains that would make such a great gift for all of your lady friends! Of course, it is a listing for custom leather keychains, so you can really order anything you’d like to! Names, dates, co-ordinates of where you met, etc all make great options!
Whichever you choose, be sure to shop Etsy Canada’s Free Shipping selection online before it’s all over! Event ends May 14th 2018.
