 TOP 10 TRENDY & UNIQUE CHRISTMAS GIFTS ETSY 2019



Andrew Schofield is one of our top artists in 2019. Born and raised in Rickmansworth, England, he managed to sell over 135 astonishing custom paintings that resulted in over 46 5-star reviews. 

His obsession and passion for art have led him to leave his professional career in engineering and devote a great amount of time to creating high-quality fine art oil paintings. 


His paintings are not like any other we have seen. It is no wonder his artwork had reached private collections and displayed in exhibitions worldwide. His intricate and impressive style have inspired so many around the world. Having won the visitor's favorite painting vote for the last 4 years in the RADAS annual exhibition, he has achieved an unequivocal success over the years.

There is one painting in particular that truly captured our hearts and attention. 

Forget about the Christmas cards which have become a thing of the past. Instead, focus on more meaningful and distinctive gifts that will turn a home into a bright and happy place filled with cherished memories.

A Robin sitting on a snow  is a rare find and has an intriguing story behind it. 

This Robin is a common visitor to the artist's garden. The artist loves to observe and sketch them while they scurry about and land on his boot. 



There is a little known fact about postmen in the United Kingdom, back in the 1880s, and why Robins have been a symbol of Christmas since then. Those Victorian postmen had been nicknamed "Robin" after the iconic birds as they wore bright red uniforms that represented royalty and the British flag. 

At Christmas, cards were delivered to loved ones by those local "Robins". One day, an artist drew an actual Robin with a card in its beak and it has become the symbol of Christmas ever since. 

The legend of Robin has been portrayed in artistic works and Christmas stories and still to this day. Today, the robin is considered by some to be Britain's favorite bird. 

This wonderful painting is very close to our heart and we would love to own it and add it to our beautiful art collection.

Zach is the next one on the list. His shop is fairly new but it seems like he is heading in the right direction. His products are absolutely amazing!

Zach is from Kentucky. He is a father of five. He states that his youngest twins have autism. You can see their pictures on his Etsy shop. How adorable they are! His family inspires him to continue making incredible items. He designs all kinds of apparel, mugs and phone cases. His designs are unique and sometimes humorous.

The idea started due to his entrepreneurial spirit. He was trying to make money but the more he worked on the designs and worked with artists the more he realized he was inspiring people to embrace their Royalty. In his own words, he means that "everyone is born a king or a queen but the world around them tries to beat them down emotionally and spiritually so much that they sometimes can't realize it."

Read that again! It's inspiring stories like this that make me want to buy from artists and treasure their handmade creations. There is something very personal and meaningful about them.

One of our favorites is this multicolored soft beanie that will sure keep you very warm in this freezing weather! 


Smile Everyday beanie comes in 2 colors with a cute pom-pom
