Welcome back to another week of the Countdown to Christmas 2026!
It's hard to believe we're already at Week 5! The holidays seem to get a little closer every time I sit down to share another collection of handmade treasures.
One of my favorite things about this countdown is discovering all the beautiful and creative items offered by talented artists and small business owners. There's something special about finding a gift made with imagination, care, and a personal touch.
This week I've gathered ten favorites to share with you. There is a little bit of everything, from gorgeous jewelry and colorful beads to artwork, journals, and holiday gifts.
My Favorite Handmade Finds for Week 5
1. Light Sky Blue Lampwork Glass Bead — Covergirlbeads
I love the delicate sky-blue color of this handmade glass bead. The silver details give it such a lovely finish, and it would make a beautiful addition to a favorite bracelet.
2. Vintage Cameo Statement Necklace — Blonde Peach Jewelry

3. Turquoise Peace Sign Earrings — The Singing Beader
These fun earrings feature natural turquoise chips and silver-tone peace sign charms. They're a wonderful combination of color, personality, and a little retro charm.
4. Dragonfly Journal and Bookmark Gift Set — Blue Morning Expressions
Dragonflies, flowers, and a beautiful journal—what a lovely combination! This coordinated journal and bookmark set would make a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys writing, reading, or simply keeping a little notebook close by.
5. Autumn Remembered Handmade Junk Journal — Butterfly in the Attic
I'm also sharing one of my own handmade creations this week. Autumn Remembered is a one-of-a-kind junk journal created from a repurposed vintage book, filled with autumn-inspired artwork, layered papers, and little discoveries tucked throughout its pages.
This project was a labor of love, and I'm delighted to include it among this week's handmade favorites.
6. Cute Bear Keychain — Adore By Nat
Sometimes the smallest gifts bring the biggest smiles! This adorable bear keychain is such a sweet little accessory and would make a fun stocking stuffer.
7. University of Tampa Art Prints — WatercolorsNMore
These beautiful University of Tampa giclée art prints are a lovely way to celebrate a special place. Artwork makes such a meaningful gift, especially when it brings back favorite memories.
8. Hanukkah Menorah Napkins — Etsy
Holiday gatherings are even more special with beautiful table linens. These Hanukkah-themed napkins would add an elegant seasonal touch to a festive table.
9. Horses, Moon & Stars Earrings — Shadow Dog Designs
These earrings caught my eye with their combination of horses, celestial details, ceramic lampwork, and crystals. Such a creative design for someone who loves horses and unique handmade jewelry.
10. Amethyst Jewelry Gift Set — Etsy
Purple is such a beautiful color for jewelry, and this amethyst set offers a coordinated necklace, earrings, and bracelet. A lovely gift idea for someone who enjoys gemstone jewelry.
