2018 Ultimate Handmade, DIY Gift Guide for Your Wild Child!

The last leaf is falling from our beloved “Mother Maple” tree, and we’re starting to throw an extra log on the fire. I love the internal warmth we all stoke as a family and a community this time of year. One way of sharing that light is to find or make that perfect gift. Below is my curated collection of handmade and DIY gifts for those nature-loving kids in your life.

From fairy doors and natural journals to wands and animal yoga cards, there’s something for everyone wild child.  Some of the gifts below contain affiliate links, but I have only included my favorite finds I’ve collected throughout the year. I hope something catches your eye!
