Etsy Christmas Gift Guide 2025
This post contains affiliate links; buying via these links costs you nothing more, but I get a small amount from the company. To anyone who uses my links, thank you.
There is something special about a handmade gift, and if, like me, you can’t get your hands to work well enough to make them yourself, then Etsy and their Holiday Hub is a great location to head to!
If, however, you’re not quite sure where to start, I’ve rounded up 8 items that caught my eye to share with you!
Mitten & Scarf Seal Ornament – Moon Seals

If you have seen any of my Etsy guides before, you may well have seen Moon Seals on them, as I love their seal art, and with every sale, they donate to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary as well.
This year, they have come out with a range of seal decorations which feature seals both in mittens and a scarf and a Christmas jumper. I have to admit I have already bought “Ben” from the mittens and scarf collection, and I love him!
If you want to get your own Mittens & Scarf Seal, they come in at £9.50 and are hand-painted.
Festive Gingerbread Man Pot Buddy – Jardinopia

If you are looking for some fun garden items, then Jardinopia has you covered, and I love this festive pot buddy, which is perfect for giving any pot plant a Christmas makeover.
This little gingerbread man hangs from any pot by his feet. In fact, he could really hang from anything, mirrors, vases, doors, anywhere that gives enough room for his feet to hold onto.
The Festive Gingerbread Man Pot Buddy comes in at £11.99.
Christmas Candle – The Halcyon Soul

No matter if you are looking for a candle to gift or one to fill your home with festive fragrance, this lovely candle from The Halcyon Soul might be perfect for you.
With scents to choose from, such as gingerbread, cranberry orange, cosy & spice and cedar & fir, to name just a few, you are bound to find a candle that suits the mood you want to set.
The Christmas Candle starts at £10.99.
Crocheted Christmas Pet Collar – Post Box Party

Post Box Party have a huge range of festive offerings going on, from Christmas decorations to party games and so much more! However, how adorable is this pet collar?
Perfect for festive pictures or celebrating the big day, the collar is crocheted and includes a long length of string so you can tie it to fit any size neck between 9 and 12 inches.
The Crocheted Christmas Pet Collar comes in at £13.50.
Custom Rainbow Stripe Christmas Stocking – Brown Betty Blue

Everyone needs a beautiful stocking to hang from the fireplace, and if you want something extra special, then how about this offering from Brown Betty Blue.
Made from wool and backed with denim, these stockings feature a fantastic rainbow design (others are also available) and can be personalised with the name of your choice, and you can choose if it hangs from the white or the left.
The Custom Rainbow Stripe Christmas Stocking comes in at £95.
Wooden Star with Golden Edge – Cirencester Christmas

From tree decorations, to garlands and giftwrap, Cirencester Christmas is filled with festive treats to fill your home and treat those you love.
As someone who loves wooden items, I love these wooden stars, which are accented with gold. They are available in small, medium and large and would work well as part of a table decoration.
The Wooden Star with Golden Edge costs £18 for a large one.
Frog with Candycane Christmas Tree – Noonday Dream

Do you love cute decor? Fancy something made from polymer clay? Then Noonday Dreams is a shop you have to check, as they have everything from cute mince pies to stars and mushrooms.
Personally, I love this cute little frog, who is holding a candy cane, you can even choose the colours you want it to be! I think personally I would go for baby blue, I think that would look lovely!
The Adorable Frog with Candycane Christmas Tree Decoration comes in at £6.99.
Santa Hat Velvet Christmas Pillow – Woodland Hill Crafts

Every sofa needs a festive makeover, and no matter if you want trees or a Santa hat Woodland Hill Crafts has you covered!
Around 40cm x 37cm in size and made from faux fur and velvet fabric, this is bound to bring a smile to anyone’s face who notices its Christmas cheer sitting on your sofa.
The Santa Hat Velvet Christmas Pillow comes in at £28.
