Gift Guide: Unique Christmas Gift Ideas for Ocean Lovers, Cruisers and Sailors

This Christmas Gift Guide features unique, affordable holiday gifts for anyone who loves the ocean. The gift ideas I’ve included here are all handmade items from fellow ArtFire artisans, along with a couple of our own pieces.

Since joining the ArtFire.com marketplace in July, I’ve had the great pleasure of discovering many talented artisans and learning a bit about them and their work. The handmade items you see here are from some of my favorite ArtFire studios.

All of these creative individuals are passionate about their work and about supporting the “handmade movement”. I hope you enjoy looking through this small sampling of ocean-related gift ideas and that you’ll visit the studios of these wonderfully talented people. Mass-produced items are SO un-cool when there are amazing, affordable alternatives made one at a time with TLC and attention to every detail.

Cheers and Happy Shopping!!  : )
