Firstly. Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2014 is kind to you, your friends and family, and full of wonderful moments xxx

Secondly. I started an etsy shop way back in 2010, sold an item and then because I was also running a folksy store (and it was hard to balance the two), stopped. This year I’d like to get it up and running again, so I’ve been stocking it with some stuff. Polymer clay charms, jewellery, and felt flower brooches are just some of the things currently in stock. More to come. Take a peek :)

These candy tins would make lovely stocking fillers. You could fill them full of sweets or maybe something else that fits in there?

There's always at least one person (maybe more) who you aren't sure what to get for Christmas. Maybe it's because they never mention what they want, or maybe it's because they have everything anyway. How about a decoration to go on the tree? It's something they can bring out every year and remember you by. At Zazzle you also have the option to customize some of the designs. So you could add there name, leave a personal message, or both.

And some pillows which would make great gifts:
