12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping 2008: Mahar Dry Goods
 |
There’s one place that I think of when I think of independently made goods for kids and that place is Mahar Dry Goods. That’s why I asked them to participate in the ‘12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’ this year. Plus, I know you all need to shop for those kids on your list! |
|
Mahar Dry Goods offers a smorgasbord of great gifts for kids with an emphasis on artisan made & vintage goods. You’ll find stuff for creative play and dress-up, but won’t find electronic gobbly goop that will break the day after New Year’s. There’s also home decor and art, but no mainstream cartoon characters in sight. There’s also stuff that even some grown-up kids might like too! Robert from Mahar Dry Goods is generously offering 15% off to Indie Fixx readers until December 31st. Just use the code MAHARFIXX during checkout. Plus, leave a comment below to win your choice of a stocking and ornament by My Perennial. You can see the available options below. To win: Leave a comment on this post with your favorite Mahar Dry Goods goodies. Multiple entries will be accepted, but you must leave a comment for each entry. This will increase your chances for winning! I will choose one random commenter to win the prize. This contest will end Black Friday, November 28th at 5pm EST. THE ENTRY PERIOD FOR THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED! Stay tuned for the winner. Click here to enter the current ‘12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’ Contest. |

And one final comment–the Table Top Tree Reversible Tree skirt is lovely. There’s something very comforting about rick rack and patchwork–a throwback to another era.
Thanks so much for all of your 12 Days of giveaways!
