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.

  8. Woah, I love the riding giraffe, and even more because it’s handmade! If I had a little kid, I would totally gift them with it!

  11. Too many great choices! The monster pals finger puppets, emotional monsters tote and elephant teapot are cute and clever.

  13. I really like the red popcorn stocking and the little red robin. What sweet little christmas ornaments!

  21. I have an affinity for polar bears so of course have a crush on the polar bear pull toy by Sleeping Forest Studios.

  25. One of my most favorite items on their site is the “Vintage Tablecloth Dress!”
    Love it…..Cindi

  29. The “Suitcase Trio” by Mahar Drygoods reminds me of my childhood. I didn’t have a set of 3, but I did have a blue suitcase in the middle sized one. Thanks, Cindi

  30. I think the “Toadstool Tea Set” would make a lovely keepsake gift for my friend who collects children’s tea sets!
    Thanks, Cindi

  31. The “Bull Moose Marionette” is my second choice for a favorite marionette. Again, thanks, Cindi

  32. I like the “Giraffe Marionette” for myself! I have always like to entertain with marionettes. Many thanks for a wonderful giveaway contest. Cindi

  33. The “Produce Play Food Set”, my niece would have a lot of fun times with!
    Happy Thanksgiving…..Cindi

  46. i’m going to have to buy a vinateg tablecloth dress for my best friends sooon to be born baby girl- its so cute

  49. So many things to love, elephant teapot, elf slippers, toadstool teaset, cupcake toppers, crocheted party hats… lovely!

  55. 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!

  56. The Cardinal Bird Feeder Set is very nice too, since it could be a great gift for an adult or child. I’d love to put one of these outside my son’s window so he could do some birdwatching.

  57. Can you tell I love this shop with all my comments?

    The Woolyhoodwinks stuffed dolls are adorable, and I recently saw a book about these little characters. Very cute!

  58. Their kits are wonderful too. I can’t believe how many they offer! I love the Sew Your Own Sock Monkey Kit, not because I couldn’t make one on my own, but because all of the cute fabrics and notions come in the kit.

  63. Oh god, I love the kozyndan posters that take japanese woodcuts and add hundreds of bunnies. Where have these been all my life?

  64. I don’t have an kids, nor do I know anyone with little ones, but I’d love quite a few things in the website for me, like the buntingor the nesting suitcases 🙂

  65. One more… I love, love, love the Polar Bear Softie & Evergreen Tree Set! I’m thinking I really, really, really need it for my holiday decorating!

  81. I like the bird ornament and the reindeer stocking, no matter how old I get I still really like the idea of reindeer.
