12 Handmade Etsy Items to Gift Your Favourite Friends

Unique homemade gifts are the holy grail of holiday giving — but there’s a reason you’re more likely to receive a Starbucks gift card. DIYing can be dangerous territory for those without a crafting-thumb, and scouring Christmas markets, local boutiques and craft shows for the perfect present can be time consuming. Etsy connects you with creators, so that you can shop for handmade, vintage and one-of-a-kind products from the comfort of your couch. There’s a lot to browse through, so we pulled inspiration from Etsy’s Holiday Trend Guide to narrow down our top picks. You can bundle up a couple of items in a basket, or have a personalized gift delivered wrapped and ready to someone’s door. Keep scrolling to find a present that will surely make that special friend smile — especially because it’s coming from you.

 

 

Touch of Luxe

For the fancy friend who always seems to be clinking a champagne glass. Think faux fur, vintage golds, plush velvet and overpriced afternoon tea in a mid 20th century luxury hotel.

 

Wine and Pine 

For the zen friend who names self care as her #1 hobby. Think beeswax candles, rich berry tones, mulled wine and ditching your plans to stay in and read a book next to the Christmas tree.

 

Holiday at the Disco

For the ultra-positive friend who oozes energy and loves rainbows. Think tinsel, tassels, glitter, metallics and eating a Milk Bar Bakery confetti cake in the ball pit room at The Happy Place.

 

Cabin Fever 

For the down-to-earth friend who wears onesies and Instagrams from a canoe in Lake Louise. Think chunky knits, hot cocoa with extra marshmallows, embroidery and curling up next to the fire in a snow-covered log cabin.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
