Under $30 Gift Guide

My long time Copious followers will know that this blog post is very personal. This Gift Guide not only features Under $30 Locally-Made Gifts, but these are actual gifts my Gran and I purchased last year for our family tradition of Table Gifts. 

For decades my Gran, now called GG since she is a Great Gran, kept up this special tradition. We would open gifts on Christmas like lots of families do, but as we moved to the dining room for dinner we would be pleasantly surprised with our Table Gifts, all wrapped and sitting in the centre of the table ready for us to open. It was the best surprise that we usually had forgotten about until the moment we sat down. 

As she got older, and our family got bigger it became harder for her to source all these gifts. At the time I was moving into the Locally-Made community and I loved the idea of finding unique and thoughtful Table Gifts for my family and to help keep this fun tradition alive for the next generation. Below are all the Locally-Made Table Gifts my Gran and I found for our family last year. Shopping local is harder, but this Under $30 Gift Guide will give you ideas and keep you on budget.
