9 Holiday Gifts for Women by Women

I love getting to know online business ladies who are product makers, crafters, creators, artists, writers. Every day they are putting in the hard work and time it takes to see their ideas come to life. They are making books, clothing, jewelry, workshops, and more … just for you (and me!).

I asked my maker friends to tell me about their creations, to show me what they’ve been busy putting out in the world this year. I hope you are inspired to check out their work this holiday season and then go on and create those things that are in your heart.

2. Purple Leaves, Red Cherries by Tania Elfersy and Andrea Katzman. An award-winning gift book for new moms and mothers of young children.

    This stuff is gorgeous! And such good ideas. I love the idea of giving someone something that is unexpected but so valuable and unique, as these offerings are . . . I wish Catherine Just offered her photos for sale, those really spoke to me.

    Who better to create luscious gifts for women than women! This is such a fantastic and unique variety. I say we gift one to a special woman in our lives and gift one to ourselves…the most important women in our lives. I’m making my favorite creator ME and wishing nothing but living into my authentic self this year. Thanks for this Christie.
