It’s finally over, the holidays are finally over…at least the gift exchanging ones. I had a wonderful fun & family filled day yesterday and received lots of wonderful gifts, including some indie gifts. So how about you, what did you give or receive that was indie this year? Tell me and you could win this gorgeous messenger bag from Gerbera Designs and these dangling Raindrop earring beauties from Wired Originals in the ‘Show Me Your Indie Loot’ contest. Both prizes are pictured below.

Here’s where I share what I indie gifted this year.

I got some Peach Dry-Oil Spray from Feto Soap for my sister, since she loves peaches and everything peach flavored & scented. I also gifted to someone very special a gorgeous Bolsa Clutch from Becky OH!, which is even more lovely in person and so completely well-made.

I gifted a pair of these Simple Sweet hoop earrings from Freshie and Zero and some lovely Swirlyflower Personalized Notecards by 12fifteen.

  4. Thanks for gifting some Freshie & Zero, Jen! I bought too many indie gifts this year to list, but I especially loved this bike t-shirt bu Quiet Doing for my husband (and he loves it, too!): http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8494433

  7. My favorite received indie gift from this year was an incredible hand-made leather organizer/agenda from Oberon Designs (http://oberondesign.com). It is so detailed and beautiful, I can hardly believe that there are people who are so talented. Another great gift was a “hiding honey” print from Nut and Bee (http://www.nutandbee.com).
    I gave a whole bunch of cool jewelry from Tilting Swiftly (http://tiltingswiftly.com) and a bunch of Man Smell soap from FetoSoap (http://www.fetosoap.com). If only there were more indie gift givers in my life…
