Whenever I want to buy someone a gift, I look for something that will make the person receiving it feel special.

There are many handmade artists creating affordable, beautiful and above all – unique gifts. These artists and designers bring a fresh point of view and new ideas for more special and personal gifts.
The upcoming sales of Black Friday & Cyber Monday, present a great opportunity to find such gifts for your loved ones, while supporting this vast handmade community. I collected a few gift ideas by handmade artists whose works I love:
