This time of year, I love a good DIY. Whether I’m trimming my tree with homemade ornaments, crafting some personalized wooden gift tags or getting my home Christmased-up with some fun DIY pillow cases and wall art, I’ve found the easiest way to shop for all of my do-it-yourself needs without leaving my house–Darby Smart.
I introduced you to Darby Smart before (here) when I made these fun personalized pillow covers. Since then, Darby Smart has changed things up a bit. Like before, you can go to their website, find some great projects (there are over a million on their “ideas” page) and order everything you need to make those projects at home. They aren’t packaged in a kit anymore (that way if you already have a few items you need, you don’t have to purchase the whole kit), but they show you every item used to make the craft and you order what you need with just a quick click.
Darby Smart also sells artisanal goods from boutiques, galleries and artists all over the country –it’s kind of like Etsy, but you know you’re shopping with an established company who has done the hard work of selecting only the best products to sell. I ordered these gorgeous Moscow Mule mugs from Darby Smart’s artisanal goods collection. They are just like the description stated–stainless steel mugs with a polished copper finish–and are exactly what I was looking for. Packaged in an adorable gift box, these are all set for gift-giving. I’m so excited for this fun way to serve my current favorite drink. And Darby Smart also has a great winterized moscow mule recipe right on their site.
Not sure what the crafter on your list is looking for? Check out Darby’ Smart’s Holiday Steals collection with gift ideas for everyone on your list. My daughter could get lost in that “Gifts for Kids” page. And I am spying a few things on their gift-wrapping ideas page that will make my presents pop a bit more than a boring gift bag. Head over to Darby Smart and see what inspires you. Not a crafter? You might become one after seeing this site!
Oh wow – this is so cool. I am in love with that holiday reindeer – I want to make one!
Off to check out the site. I’m sure I can find a few gifts I’m missing for several folks here!
I love etsy, so im sure i would love this too. maybe even more!
Looks like they have a lot of unique gifts! I’ll have to search and see what I can find to give some of my family members!
