Why buy handmade this Christmas? Because handmade items are better all round! Handmade products are unique, lovingly crafted, and are more meaningful than mass-produced department store “token” gifts. And bonus - when you buy handmade, you’re supporting small Australian businesses - often just that’s just one person running the whole show! You allow them to continue their creative work and increase the demand for well made, handmade goods. You rock!! 4
