Michigan Makers Holiday Guide 2020

The moment Halloween ended, I transform into my usual Elf self, creating gifting lists for my family, gift guides to share on the blog and kicking off my holiday shopping, and first I bring you some great makers and artists in the state to check out!

There are so many Michigan makers, creatives, designers and business owners who create such great products and I wanted to highlight just a few here. From items I’ve bought for myself, gifted to friends and family or on my shopping list for 2020, read on for details on Michigan makers to shop for the holidays.

Detroit Rose candles look chic and smell delightful (love the campfire candle!)

The sweetest hand printed notecards by Gwen Frostic from northern Michigan.

The Lip Bar lip glosses make great stocking stuffers. I have the lip gloss in color baddie and all the colors are highly pigmented and the gloss isn’t sticky at all.

GRAMMAR jewelry–I own the Linda dangle earrings in terra cotta and they’re the perfect statement piece (plus they’re all super lightweight.) My next pair? I’m eying the Carli earrings in black or white!

Debbie Carlos’ ilog bowl is my favorite decor piece in my living room (but it’s a bowl so you can use it for eating too!) And next I want the Pedrolino moods mug.

Brightly Twisted comfort pullovers are so so soft and beautifully dyed. I have two sweatshirts by the label and they’re still soft, bright and make for chic lounging.

Pick up a cute print like this one or this one by Worthwhile Paper as a gift (even for yourself!)

Ilera Apothecary has skincare products on my list to try for myself  like the revitalizing night oil and rose toner. Plus these products are super affordable.

Body oils make a great gift too and I personally love them especially in the dry winter. Try Alchemy’s nourishing rose and patchouli oil . I’m also interested in the pocket size perfumes, priced from $10-$15.
