Ryan Warneke of Pineslopes Craft Market gave his list of the top 10 must-have crafty gifts to give this Christmas.
Adult colouring books
“Forget about the idea that colouring books are for kids,” Warneke said. “These are intricately designed books created specifically to help you de-stress and focus the mind.”
Angels
Warneke described these as “lovingly designed, manufactured and hand-painted by a mother/daughter duo.”
They are also made out of plaster of paris and coated with a sealant for easy cleaning.
Wooden bowties
Unique handcrafted wooden bowties each have their own personality, differing in colour, grain, pattern and texture.
Symbols on silk
Sterling silver jewellery with an inspirational message. Handmade in Cape Town.
Scarves and scarf hangers
“Flex your fashion superpowers with trendy Summer scarves along with handcrafted oak scarf hangers,” Warneke said.
Woodwick candle
Each candle burns for over 60 hours and has a wooden wick which crackles like a fireplace when burning.
Handmade message plaques
From Christmas sayings to famous quotes these wooden 16cm x 16cm signs are highly affordable and a great stocking filler.
Laser cut wood earrings
Beautifully-designed laser cut wood earrings are a Summer trend but are also a timeless piece of costume jewellery.
Soft sheep security blankets and toys
Soft, cuddly security blankets and toys are loved by babies and parents alike.
Owl calendars
Unique handcrafted and hand-painted wooden owl calendars will make a beautiful and useful Christmas gift.
