Gift Guide: Stuffie Lovers

I love crocheting amigurumi and bringing sweet dolls and animals to life!  If you are looking for a special toy for a loved one, here is a round-up of beautiful handcrafted works of art made by Etsy artisans!

  • Bubbles and Bongo: Erinna and Rosemary are an amazingly talented mother-daughter duo from Australia who make beautiful crocheted and cloth dolls.  They both have such great attention to detail with impeccable craftsmanship.  The Cinderella Doll has gorgeous hair and I love how the bottom part of her dress is made of tulle!  The cloth doll (”Little Miss Murasaki”) has such a fun and whimsical combination of colours and patterns.  I personally own one of their cloth dolls, and it is exquisite- I’ll be blogging about it in the future and showing her off!  Take a peek around their store to see all their gorgeous dolls HERE!
  • Minis by Vane: I’ve been following Vanessa’s work on Instagram, and she makes the most beautiful animals from wool felt.  Isn’t this little reindeer stunning?  I love how she incorporates fabric too!  Vanessa has bunnies, monkeys, raccoons and more in her store- check them all out HERE!
  • Design by Tati: Isn’t the Tat Woodland Bear Cub so sweet?   Tatiana handcrafts her animals using 100% natural fibers, and I love the vintage look of them!  Her store is also full of whimsical animals such as hedgehogs, elephants and foxes- check them out HERE!

I used to have a teddy bear collection growing up and now as an adult, I truly appreciate handcrafted dolls and animals and how much time and love go into making each one!  Any of the above toys would make such a special addition to a stuffie lover’s collection!  You can search for more handmade stuffies on Etsy HERE and also their holiday hub HERE!
