Just yesterday, the lovely Marichelle posted a round up of some the wonderful handmade gifts that she gave and received this past Christmas, and her post has inspired me to do the same.
I tried my utmost to make or buy as many handcrafted gifts as possible this holiday, and I was so happy with everything I purchased (some of these lovelies were gifts I gave myself). Check out my list (of course these are all sold items, but the sellers may have more or similar items available).

There you have it. Man, a lot of those were for me, huh?!... (hides head in shame). But I did make a lot of gifts too (earrings, calendars, prints, painted wooden apples, etc... so hopefully I don't look totally selfish).
What was your favorite gift that you gave and received over the holidays? I'd love to know. Add links to your comment to show us if you are able.
