For better or for worse, springtime has arrived. The chill is turning to warm, showers have become all too frequent, and everything has begun to bloom. Under normal circumstances this is one of the best times of the year. With all that has been going on around the world in the year 2020, however, things may not feel as rosy as they have in the past. The pandemic in full swing a lot of us are sheltering at home. That means, for a lot of us, work is currently on hold. No one feels the pinch more than independent workers, a category which craftsman and artists fall into. People all over turning to online shopping to help cure the boredom of quarantine and social distancing. Consider picking up some seasonal cheer by seeking out some fun and unique handmade spring gift ideas.
Why Handmade?
When it comes to seasonal décor there certainly are a lot of options out there. Sure, you could just run to the nearest big box or dollar store and pick up some stuff on the cheap. There’s nothing wrong with being thrifty, but your look will fall far short of reflecting your unique sense of style. If you take the time to really look through the options out there you will come across a lot of handmade items. Many of these do not cost much more than what you can find at your local whatever-mart.
Not only does decorating your space with handmade items give it a special feeling, it also shows that you truly care about the items you’ve curated. It shows care and concern not only for your space, but for your extended community. Remember, someone had to spend time and effort to make that beautiful knick-knack now adorning your shelf. In turn, you’ve helped support them through your purchase. During trying times like these, the smallest amount of help can make a world of difference. Even a nominal purchase of something someone else put their love and effort into creating for someone just like you.

The Benefits Of Handmade
- Be Unique: The item is still on-of-a-kind, even if the item is one of several in the same design. Only your piece has that exact wood grain pattern. No other piece has that combination of brush strokes.
- Choose Higher Quality: Craftsmen that make these items understand what they make represents them. With a personal stake in the game, artists produce pieces with a higher level of care and concern. Higher quality materials and careful labor mean your new piece of art will last far longer than any mass-produced stuff.
- Customizable It: Mass-produced items may only offer different colors or focus group created features. When something is handmade, it can nearly always be customized. From personalized colors or messages, the piece will be entirely yours.
- Go Sustainable: Handmade items have far smaller footprints than mass produced ones. This is true even if you find your product online. The materials used are local to the craftsman. They also are not made in bulk, so it is easier for them to choose more environmentally friendly materials.
- The Human Element: When you buy something crafted by hand, you are participating in one of the oldest traditions of humanity. A human has carefully considered the item, picked out the materials, and thoughtfully created a piece of art. It wasn’t some machine working off a digital template quickly churning out millions at a time. Someone has created something with their own hands which you, another human, are now enjoying.
