Handmade Holiday Gift Guide #3

Here is another great gift guide. These are unique handmade gifts and they are all less than $10! It is getting to be that time when it is time to start buying for the holidays. Remember that you will have to wait for shipping when you order online and those one of a kind items might go before you can get them, so get in gear and start ordering!

I also want to remind everyone that the Homecoming sale at http://thecrazyelephant.etsy.com ends this Saturday, so order now!

Ouch!

Jayne is 2 now and sometimes it seems like he is constantly hurting himself. I love his owie fixer, almost as much as he does. We actually save a lot of money on band aids by having it. A kiss or a band aids makes the owie "feel better" even though they really don't ultimately. Now when Jayne gets hurt he always goes straight for the Owie Fixer, unless a band aid is actually needed of course. We keep the cover in the drawer with his plates and bibs and when he gets an owie we take it out and put the ice pack inside. Unlike the rice packs, which are great for their ability to heat, they use reusable ice packs and it is easy and inexpensive to have many packs on hand. All you really need is 1 cover and you can keep replacing packs as they warm up. They also do not use rice which is one of the highest methane producing plants, so they are a green option, especially compared to using actual ice.

We have many designs at The Crazy Elephant already and more designs are on the sewing pile now. I can only accomplish so much at a time after all. This is a must have item for everyone with children, that works with children, or that has the ability to get hurt. You know where I'm going with this, if you are human, you need one ; )

Handmade gift guide #2

I took the easy way out on this one by using an etsy mini. This way I don't have to mess around with the links. These are some great less than $10 gift ideas, and if anyone is shopping for me...I really like the alice in wonderland bottle opener ; ) Enjoy the ideas.

Homemade Christmas Guide #1

I have heard it mentioned a few times that christmas is coming awefully fast. We are halfway through September already! We are absolutely going handmade this christmas. I usually have most of my shopping done by this time of year, but somehow it got thrown by the wayside. Oh wait, that could have been due to all the bad stuff that happened this year (injuries, broken down car that needed to be repaced, crushed sewage line, loss of my job) but I digress...Etsy is a great place to find interesting, budget friendly, gifts. I already found the perfect gift for my bro in law, I can't share what it is of course, but I can share some other amazing gift ideas. Our budget this year is $10 per person and so all these ideas are $$10 or less. Simply click on the pic to go to the listing. FYI the popcorn is SOAP! I will post another fun gift guide soon, and please let me know if you cannot get to a link and I will help you find them : )
