The lovely Tracy at Stitchery is once again organising the Felt Christmas Swap!
If you’d like to take part, she’d love to hear from you. As a member of the Swap, you send out three gifts to three other participants, and, in turn, you will receive three gifts. In the spirit of all things Felty, each gift you send is to be handmade by you.
You know the deal. The office organiser (there’s always one) decrees that this year there shall be gift-giving – and now you need to come up with a present for that random workmate whose name is on the piece of paper you’ve drawn out of the hat. Don’t panic! We at Felt can help.
Is your Christmas tree in need of a spruce up? Perhaps it’s showing a little too much limb? You can preserve its modesty and make it stand out from the forest with gorgeous handmade decorations from Felt.
As anyone with friends and family in far away places knows, if your loved ones are overseas (or even just elsewhere in New Zealand) your Christmas gifts need more than the usual level of thought and preparation.
Here at Felt we love to show off our sellers’ creations and we love a good handmade Christmas, so naturally it’s the highlight of our year to bring you the Felt Christmas Gift Guide!
Every year the Christmas paraphenalia seems to arrive earlier and earlier in the shops – and I, like many, am by no means reticent about having an annual moan on the subject. It’s the music more than anything, I think, and the oh-so frenetic version of Christmas to be found in so many retail quarters.
Which is why I’m finding my Felt-flavoured lead up to Christmas this year so much more enjoyable than past experiences.
Happy Christmas and thank you from Felt!
Since Felt began I have finished up every year feeling grateful and amazed by the support and general loveliness of the Felt community. This year, as we’ve faced challenges I never imagined I’d need in my business plan, it has meant a great deal more than ever before. Thank you for continuing to support Felt and for making it such an awesome community to be part of!
From Friday 23 December until Wednesday 4 January the Felt team will be enjoying a bit of time off. Enquiries during this time will be answered, but please note that we may take up to 48 hours to respond. Have a wonderful Christmas and here’s to a fabulous year in 2012!
Once you’ve found that perfect treasure, you need some gorgeous handmade trimmings to finish the look – Cards, Tags and Wrapping Paper in the Felt Christmas Gift Guide has everything you need for a stack of beautiful gifts under the tree this year.
If you’re helping Santa out this year, you’ve got big socks to fill. Worry not, you’re in the right place – check out Fabulous Stocking Fillers in the Felt Christmas Gift Guide for quality handmade goodies to pop in the stockings this Christmas.
