Why Buy Handcrafted?

So many creative and talented crafters and designers are following their dream of earning an income while being their own boss. Many of us as are turning to unique handcrafted home accessories and other items that make perfect gifts for friends and family.   These unique, original and creative gifts can inspire us to choose something that little bit different.  

Why choose handcrafted gifts?

 

·         Each designer maker and crafter of handmade gifts has their own original style unique to them.   Imagination and creativity used offers us an attractive alternative to the mass produced gifts found in high street stores.  

 

·         Handcrafted products are made to the highest quality often with lovely attention to detail.  We can also appreciate the time invested in creating these products.

 

·         Quite often handcrafted items can be personalised which makes them that bit more special.

 

So where do you find these original gifts? 

We are lucky to live close to Glasgow where there are lots of craft fayres regularly taking place all over the city. 

However if like us you are short of time (such a difficult thing to manage these days) you may not have the time to travel in search of a ‘gift with a difference’.  This is one of the reasons we launched NoahHome and Gifts – our online gift shop.  We wanted to offer an alternative to those who have busy lives.  It is lovely though when you get a chance to have a wander around craft fayres to see what’s available. 

 

What types of gifts can you buy?

There’s an amazing selection of handcrafted gifts to choose from including wall hangings, handmade jewellery, key holders, soft furnishings, candles, soap and toiletries.  You are sure to find something wonderful while at the same time helping to support small businesses. 

 

 

 

To welcome new babies you can choose something different such as a handcrafted personalised wooden wall hanging or perhaps a fair trade handmade soft toy.  

 

 

It can be difficult to find an original wedding gift.  Personalised handcrafted wooden wall hangings such as our ‘just married’ sign or wooden wedding plaque are ideal and a special keepsake for the happy couple. 

What about those older friends and relatives?  A shabby chic, wooden handmade kitchen wall plaque for ‘Grandma’s Kitchen’ or ‘Grandad’s Greenhouse’ sign for Grandads who like gardening will make a perfect choice. 

Perhaps you are going to a dinner party.  Why not take along some cupcake wine glass charms.  They will last longer than chocolates or flowers.   

 

 

 

There is such a fantastic choice of gifts for all occasions.  

From handcrafted gifts for the home to gifts for occasions and personal gifts bought to convey a personal sentiment there is a gift that will suit your purpose from our handcrafted selection. 

So go on – delight your friends and relatives by choosing to buy handmade and support small businesses at the same time!
