My favorite gifts to give are ones that I make myself. One year, I had a great idea to make all my girlfriends personalized pajama pants. After the first pair took me roughly ten hours to make, my mom jumped in and helped me finish the other four. Since then, I have opted for simpler handmade gifts, such as spiced nuts or coffee coasters.
Making gifts is not for everyone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give handmade gifts this holiday season. This is where Etsy comes in; you can buy awesome gifts directly from the maker for a great price. I rounded up a few of my favorite Etsy items under $25 that would be perfect gifts for any of the women on your holiday gift list.

Love the color blue of the headband! Would come in handy here in Spokane right now– high today 14 degrees 🙂
