I mentioned earlier that slowing down is important during this time leading up to Christmas Day. I firmly believe that. It is time to slow down and wait. You can avoid the craziness of the Christmas shopping rush by supporting small businesses. You can also slow down and avoid the rush by shopping online. There’s minimal stress and it really doesn’t take that much time at all. As a service to you, I’ve come up with a few Christmas gift ideas from Darn Good Yarn that I’m considering giving to Aly.

The great thing about Darn Good Yarn is that every purchase helps support women around the world. Darn Good Yarn supports sustainable and fair jobs around the globe through ethical sourcing, and working with producers and organizations that have similar goals. They’re pretty well-known for their yarn, craft kits, and upcycled sari skirts. Here’s

1. No Drama Llama Beanie

East Central Indiana winters get pretty cold and dreary. A beanie like this one would make the long trek to and from what few in-person classes she’ll have this winter a little less miserable. Shoot, it might even put a smile on her face from time to time.

Besides, who doesn’t like llamas?

2. Fleece lined wool socks

Wool socks are one of many great Christmas gift ideas you can find at Darn Good Yarn.

I’m a sucker for unique socks. These wool socks just might be a Christmas gift idea that is spoken with my love language.

3. Boho Sling Crossbody Bag

I’ll be honest. I don’t know much about bags like these. But these crossbody bags look pretty cool to me and it sure seems like it would hold a whole bunch of stuff! Plus, these bags were handmade in the Himalayas. Each color, sequin, stitch and embellishment reflects the culture and rich tradition of the region.
