Welcome to the first edition of { crave + rave: gifts for...} !
To help you out with your holiday shopping, each week I'll feature gifts tailored to fit certain tastes, all sourced from that wonderful vintage and handmade resource, Etsy.
First up,
{ gifts for the wanderer }
"Destination Unknown Traveler's Mini Notebook in Wood Grain" by CampfireChic
Every good wanderer needs a place to scribble. The name of that spooky little town, the intersection where that amazing burger stand is, a lovely combination of words that stumbles into your brain. Things that simply must not be forgotten.
(I can't believe I haven't discovered this shop before! Many wonderful things to browse through.)
"FIELD Bag II - Hand Stitched Leather Satchel - Feral Empire" by feralgirl
Wanderers need a place to store things. Little bits we acquire, a good bottle of water (wandering can take quite some time, you know), a digital camera. Plus it's nice to have your hands free.
"vintage plaid scarf / tablecloth" by ManMadeSole
One never knows what mother nature might have in store when the urge to wander falls upon us. Why not tuck an oversized scarf into your handy leather satchel (see above) ? Perfect for warding off sudden chilly breezes, and the odd impromptu picnic.
"Not Lost Just on An Adventure. Compass Necklace..." by ReneeLoughlin
It's easy to get turned around on a good wander. (not for me -- i'm known as 'kellimaps.') This necklace is cute and stylish, as well as vitally functional.
"Made to Order Custom Soft Leather Winter Mukluks in a Variety of Color/Style Options" by spirocreations
I'm all for fancy shoes. I really am. But when it comes down to wandering, I prefer my toes to be safely encased in a good pair of boots. And these are custom made for your dear wanderer's own feet! How personal and sweet is that?
{ do you have any wanderers in your life? }
Psssst! -- be sure to grab my "handmade for holidays" button, if you plan on joining me in my pledge this season!

Kisses,sweetie
Ps: I am hosting a sweet GIVEAWAY today, please join in!

Lovely lovely gifts! My boy is about to wander off to New Zealand, he'd probably look silly in the boots, though. I'll have to get them for myself. Yes, that's definitely the thing to do!

Yah the boots are awesome! I have several wanderers in my life...and if I could find them...I'd give them one of these lovely gifts:)
