This year for Christmas gift-giving many people are trying to stop the commercialism and go handmade. Giving a gift made by hand doesn’t mean you have to make it with your own hands. Feel free to patronize artists and craftspeople and enjoy more of your precious holiday time, knowing you are helping artists and avoiding the commercialism trap.

I have added 5 new books to my Etsy store. Blank books make terrific gifts for almost anyone on your list. Some are made with handmade paste paper and hand-marbled paper. Enjoy!

I am also available to make custom books. If you have someone on your list with a particular passion or interest, I can create a one-of-a-kind book that they will love. Contact me at anna at annahawthorne dot com for details and pricing and we can get started on it today!
