In effort to help readers get to know our Gift Guide Shops better, we asked them  a few Holiday related questions. Please tell us some of your favorite traditions!

CJoyOriginals

What is your favorite holiday food?

CHRISTMAS COOKIES! I particularly love Spritz cookies and cut-out sugar cookies!  I have wonderful memories of my mom making delicious Christmas cookies every year.  Now, I use many of her recipes and make them myself, and I love to give them away to others.  Spritz cookies take lots of time and energy to make, but they are the best!  It's all I can do to not eat all of them myself.  And there is a special sugar cookie recipe that I grew up with and they are fun to make and decorate......and then EAT!

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?

I love to find what someone's favorite thing is, or if they collect something in particular, and then have fun with that.  I have a sister who collects angels, another one who loves snowmen, and one who LOVES the Minnesota Vikings.  It's fun to find new and special things that they can add to their collections!

What is the current best seller in your shop?

My best sellers are my multi-chain necklaces and my charm necklaces, particularly the ones that I make with charms hanging from oversizedlobster clasps.

Wild Flowers Boutique NH

What is your favorite holiday food?
We make traditional Italian anise cookies for Christmas every year, and they are amazing with a hot cup of tea.

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?
My favorite part of holiday gift giving doesn't have to do with a specific type of gift, per se. The best part of giving gifts, at the holidays or any day, is seeing how even the smallest gesture can bring joy to someone's life.




What is the current best seller in your shop?
Stretch headbands are definitely my most sold item.

Eclectic Nesting

What is your favorite holiday food?

I love Chanukah's potato latkes...who doesn't love fried potatoes?

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?

I usually only give handmade, recycled, or vintage gifts--I like to give people things that are unique and they would never ordinarily buy for themselves.

What is the current best seller in your shop?

Vintage items are my current best shop sellers, as there are so many wonderful handmade jewelry makers to choose from on Etsy sometimes it takes a while for someone to find one of my pieces.

DDH Holiday Gift Guide #2 - Whimsy Frills and Wake Up The Angel

In effort to help readers get to know our Gift Guide Shops better, we asked them  a few Holiday related questions. Please tell us some of your favorite traditions!

WhimsyFrills

What is your favorite holiday food?
My favorite holiday food is definitely stuffing! I don't care if there is anything else there, as long as there is stuffing (although if someone makes a cherry pie, I'm in heaven!)

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?

Of course I love to give special things I've made at the holidays, but I also like to get people things that they'd love, but wouldn't buy for themselves -- too much money to spend on something they don't really "need" it (but love it), etc. It's supposed to be fun!

What is the current best seller in your shop?

My current best sellers seem to go in phases! There are so many images in the store, that one can go dormant for a while and suddenly everyone is interested in it again! A current favorite is "Le Chat Noir," the Lautrec vintage ad, and another is a crown wearing Basset Hound. There are suddenly TONS of orders for him, although he's been around a while!

SHOP DISCOUNT: DAILYDOSE for 20% off

Wake Up The Angel

What is your favorite holiday food?

Turkey with apple and sausage stuffing.

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?Something handmade appropriate for the person recieving the gift. 

What is the current best seller in your shop?

The Classic Roman Knot ring because (like most of my rings) I can make it custom ring size. Most of my listings are one offs so few are 'repeats'.

DDH Holiday Gift Guide #2 - Esse Jewels and Candie Ink

In effort to help readers get to know our Gift Guide Shops better, we asked them a few Holiday related questions. Please tell us some of your favorite traditions!

Esse Jewels

What is your favorite holiday food?
All the was back to my childhood it's been marshmallow fudge. Cannot get enough of it! Thank goodness I can't make it! My cooking skills are at boiling an egg level.

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?

Candie Ink

What is your favorite holiday food?
I love to make gingerbread cookies using my grandmother's recipe and my mom's chocolate caramel if I can get ahold of the special ingredients :)

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?
I love to give something that they didn't ask for but is thrilled to get just because it is perfect for them and what they need. I really like to give something that they can use and appreciate. Sometimes it is clothes and sometimes it is a decorative piece it all depends on where they are in their life. And as icing on the cake - if it is handmade it is beyond perfect.
What is the current best seller in your shop?
My currently most sold items are my Save the date cards. Something I never thought when I started. But that is why it is so great to be an artist and so connected with your customers.
