One of my absolute favorite things to do during the Holiday season is to shop handmade. There is something about a handmade Christmas that provides you with some of the most unique and priceless gifts. When you shop handmade no item is alike and every item is made with special care and attention to detail. Every year at least half of our gifts are handmade. Not only does it give my children something special to treasure, but it supports small businesses. I know you have heard it before, but shopping handmade means your supporting small business, and supporting small business means you’re supporting a family. You could be helping a mom stay home with her children, helping a child chase their dreams, helping a family pay off debt, or giving someone a chance to do something they love.

I have rounded up some of the best local St. Louis handmade shops to be a part of your handmade Holiday this season. Each one of these gifts are unique and made with such attention to detail. There is something for everyone on your Christmas list. If you decide to purchase from any of these shops, some are offering a discount just for you. Use code YAMBlog or mention You Are More Blog for a special discount on your order.
