Holiday Gift Guide: Handmade Gifts that Make a Difference

At Ruraq Maki, the holidays are one of our absolute favorite times. Why? They encourage us to think less about our needs and wants, and focus on those of our loved ones, and, importantly, those in need. It’s an amazing feeling that stimulated us to create this holiday gift guide for our blog, and we hope you find it helpful!

Our products truly make meaningful gifts because they so perfectly embody this spirit of giving. Not only are they beautiful and handmade, but also your gift will go beyond just the immediate receiver and help our amazing artisans. Your loved ones will get to learn about the powerful stories of our women and treasure the fact that it goes so much beyond a material possession

 

For the jewelry lover…

You know that friend of yours who wears so many accessories that she practically jingles when she walks? Surprise her with even more bling this holiday!

This combo of wire triangle beaded earrings ($12), our unique manta bracelet ($15), and a super versatile adjustable ring ($12) will have her over the moon. Not sure if she’ll like the colors of these items? No problem, head to our online store where you’ll find almost every kind of jewelry in every color imaginable.

Total cost: $39

 

For the homebody…

Okay, so not everyone likes to wear jewelry. In fact, some of us feel our best when relaxing in sweats and watching TV at home. For this person, nothing is more important than a beautiful and welcoming home environment.

Their mood will be instantly brightened with this colorful embroidered set: 1 wall hanging ($32) that can also serve as a rug or a table cover, and 2 adorable matching embroidered throw pillow cases ($30 each).

Total cost: $92

 

For the fitness addict…

What about that friend of yours who somehow always manages to make you feel lazy with the amount he or she runs around? This person is all about convenience and fitness first, but it doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate a little color in their day-to-day.

We know they’ll love this super useful bundle: our handy yoga mat strap ($34) and the weekender duffle ($35) that is the perfect gym bag.

Total cost: $69

 

 

For the globe-trotter…

Most of us love to travel here and there, but we all know those individuals who practically live out of their suitcase. When traveling, nothing is more handy than a great bag that helps keep you organized.

Energize your friend’s wanderlust with this combo of our convenient side crossbody bag ($36), the Julie weekender ($60) perfect for those short weekend trips, and our embroidered cosmetic bag to store her makeup essentials ($22).

Total cost: $118

 

For that one really indecisive friend…

Some people just like a little bit of everything and that’s totally fine. Treat your friend with some of our customers’ favorites: our Black Ayacucho tote that is the perfect catch-all bag ($42), our delicate circle frame earrings ($12), and our unique woven throw pillow case ($34).

Total cost: $88

Of course, even though we have suggested the above “bundles” with a few of our favorite picks, should you be looking for larger gifts, any single item will be a beautiful gift in and of itself. If you are shopping with a budget, why not order any of our jewelry pieces, most of which are only $12, or our colorful cosmetic bags that start at $20.
