Etsy Gifts For Boys

Thanksgiving is over and we are diving head first into the Christmas season!  To support the small business owners on Etsy, I am going to continue with my Etsy Christmas series.  I started out with holiday decor from Etsy here, and today I am going to give you some ideas for boy gifts.  I have two boys myself, so I am somewhat of an expert on this subject!  These are unique gifts that you can be sure the little man in your life will not already have!   Here we go:

 What boy doesn't love to play superhero!?  Now he can with these adorable capes from The Cosmic Banana.


This next item is great for the little boy who loves to take his cars with him everywhere he goes!  This will not only give him a carrying case, but a road to roll them on too!  By Handmade Therapy.


How about a toy for your little fisherman!  This fishing set is handmade and can be found at Mama Made Them.


My boys would love playing this game on a rainy or cold day when they are stuck inside!  Where's Bugger can be purchased from Daisy9012.


These next 3 items are perfect for the budding artist!

A crayon roll from Mushy Bug;



A crayon/activity tote from Emmi Grace Kids


Travel Artist Case from Our Little Messes.


This next game is great for boys who love seek and find activities!  This game can be found at Invitation Creation.


My six year old boy loves to take little figures like this to play with in restaurants, at church, waiting in lines, etc.  It's a great item for Mom to drop in her purse and have ready when needed!  I love these little ninjas from Busy Being Me!



And finally, this wooden button toy is just the thing boys need to help with their hand-eye coordination!  Linen Kids:


I hope I have been able to help you out a little with some unique gift ideas for the little fellows in you lives!  Happy shopping!

Holiday Decor from Etsy

Do you guys ever shop on Etsy?  You can find the most amazing items on there - things you cannot find in stores because they are either handmade or vintage.  I love the idea of supporting small business owners, especially this time of year when mass retailers are making a killing!  So, I came up with the idea of doing a series this week highlighting items found on Etsy. 

I know after Thanksgiving everyone will start transforming their homes into magical Christmas wonderlands.  If you are looking to add to your Christmas decor, or change things up this year I have some suggestions for you!

This is one of the most unique Christmas decorations I've seen.  It is so classic, and beautiful.  I will definitely be grabbing one of these prints from Winterberry Cottage.


Check out these gorgeous rustic pillows that can be found at Helkatdesigns .  They are so beautiful and could really be used year round, don't you think?


How about this gorgeous and modern tree skirt at Orange Room Shop ?  It could really freshen up your decor!


Holiday subway art?  Yes, please!  Transit Design


Another from GeesZees


I adore these personalized Chrismas ornaments?  Too cute!  Art By Kristi


This banner would look so festive hanging on your mantel, staircase, above your bed.......Bekah Jennings


If you would like something other than a wreath hanging on your door this year, how about your moss covered intitial hanging from some beautiful Christmas ribbon!?  Spotted Leopard


Looking for new stockings this year?  Look at these adorable designs from Designs by Susan2.


This handmade, wooden nativity set can be passed down from generation to generation. Mama Made Them



Gifts adorned with these vintage tags?  Yes!  Crafty Pagan


And finally, I just love these snow dusted candy canes!  Just the kind of unique and diferent touch that I long for!  Heidi Devlin


I hope you have enjoyed these great finds on Etsy!  Please feel free to share the love and support the small business owner!
