Nifty Gifty Under $50

Yesterday I ventured over to Seattle's annual Urban Craft Uprising winter show, taking in the many delightful handmade goods. Knitwear, sweet treats, unique jewelry, ceramics, paper goods - they've got it all! I didn't have my wallet on me which freed me up to simply admire the colors, creativity, chomps, and cheer of the event. Here's the unique brands that make up my holiday gift guide this year.

SAKUtea | wellness latte blends
Organic, vegan, and gluten-free, these powders are delicious. We already own a milk frother, so these flavorful lattes would be easy to make.

p.o.p. candy co | fresh butter crunch
This stuff is absolutely no-doubt-about-it addictive. Rum y vanilla is where it's at.

Bow Hill Blueberries | organic heirloom blueberry juice
Blueberries aren't even my go-to fruit, but I really liked this juice. Perfect as a shot, in a smoothie, or acai bowl.

Persist | card game

This feminist-inspired, unique, relevant, and interactive game would make the next evening with friends more interesting!

Here are my honorable mentions in four different categories:

Cactus Club | paper goods
I'm a sucker for stationary, art prints, greeting cards, and funky whimsical designs. This was my favorite vendor in the paper goods category!

Going Stag | woodwork

This artwork is eye-catching, happy, and gives off strong PNW vibes! The ornaments are so cute :) 

M Creative J | hand embroidery

Embroidery kits and wall hangings are really in right now. This artist had my favorite styles and even some DIY kits. 

Steady Ceramics | ceramics 

A nice blend of design options - from colorful to black & white and intricate to simple, I like them all.
