| Mr & Mrs Stockings as unique Wedding gifts |
I am Natasha and my store is Stalking the Wild Snark. It is named after a Lewis Carroll poem. I create a variety of items from paper goods to earrings and even doormats, but every item is either nautically-inspired, recycled, or both. My 'signature' items are crafted from traditional maritime knots. As a former tall ship sailor, these knots are near and dear to me - I hope to keep this dying art alive. My Etsy store says it was started in April, but I didn't list any items until June 2012, so I'm still pretty new to this.
My favorite Christmas traditions are opening one present on Christmas Eve and actually celebrating the 12 days of Christmas all the way through to Epiphany.
I love Good Kind Wenceslas.
A five--piece set of aluminum core, stainless steel clad cookware.
A battery-operated, belt fed Nerf machine gun. At least, I thought it was pretty cool.
Our names are Brenda and Alea, and we're a mother/daughter team. I (the daughter) started making beaded jewelry, as a hobby, in 2004. My mother also picked up the hobby in 2007, with my instruction. In 2009, I enrolled in a classes with a professional metalsmith, to expand my skills. Finally, in 2010, my mother and I decided to start selling our designs, so together, we launched A List Designs
During the holidays, we usually bake cookies, drive around looking at Christmas lights, and donate to one of the local Angel Trees. Then, on Christmas day, we exchanged presents, relax, watch A Christmas Story, and enjoy a big holiday dinner.

I like Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas. My mother is a bit more traditional and prefers "Joy to the World."
I was in dire need of a washer/dryer for a long time, so I can't even express how elated I was when I received one a couple of years ago. My mother received a Nook last year, so now she makes time for reading everyday, which is one of her favorite hobbies.
Both my Mother and I make notes all year long, when people mention the things they want. There's nothing more exciting than seeing the surprise and joy on someone's face when they realize you were listening. :)

| Personalized Friendship bracelet |
I'm Isobel from Seri Marea Jewellery - as the name would suggest, I sell jewellery, with a particular focus on friendship bracelets, particularly custom-made bracelets. I think they'd make great stocking stuffers, as they have a lovely personal touch without being too expensive!
At home with my parents and sister- presents, big Christmas lunch, and lots of Christmas TV!

| Leather Wrap Bracelet |
I love all the most traditional hymns- Once in Royal David's City, We Three Kings etc.
Tough one! It would have to be something from my mum- she always buys me beautiful clothes!
I tend to panic-buy presents, but I've managed to buy a few people spot-on books that I know they absolutely love! Obviously I'd like to say my bracelets are the best present I've ever given, but this is actually my first Christmas since I started Seri Marea jewellery!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas brings it home for me.
Clay. I recently gave up art, but was given some clay, and I fell in love all over again.
I gave and installed excise equipment for my grandma, who broke her leg, it helped rehabilitate her leg.
