It's no secret I love handmade... I love making things myself, I love the stories behind handmade items, I love supporting local designers and makers and I LOVE giving and receiving handmade gifts!
So, this Christmas I am challenging myself to buy or make handmade gifts for each of my family and friends. And I would love for you to join in!
My hope is that you will share your progress via social media and that these challenges will help increase awareness and support of Australian designers and makers and perhaps inspire some of you to do a little making yourself.
WANT TO TAKE PART?
For the next 12 weeks (um yep, that's right, only 12ish weeks until Christmas!) I will set a little challenge to help us all experience 'a very tickled christmas'.
To help spread the word, share ideas and see how everyone is going, please include a #averytickledchristmas on social media. (I'm kind of new to all this hashtag business myself.. so we'll see how it goes!)
I have a few little giveaways and spot prizes to give along the way for those who are doing an extra good job of spreading the word or buying handmade!! And if anyone has ideas for making this challenge even better... feel free to comment below x
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED?

NOTE: This list will only be used for the tickled Christmas challenge, and I promise your details will not be shared or distributed elsewhere.

Ooh sounds fun! My gifts will be a mixture of handmade and bought, actually I bought the first gift today. I'm on a tight budget so gotta plan ahead.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest to make for is my dad. Thinking maybe a new BBQ apron? A little stuck for ideas on that one.
PS Hope your accommodations in Sydney worked out!
