Knit Happens- Check out these gorgeous vegan friendly knits from Etsy store Close Knit

Find the Perfect Vegan-Friendly Cute gifts this Holiday Season.


Autumn is my favourite time to find cute gifts and stocking fillers. We have a lot of birthdays in these months, and then, of course- the C word! I can already see these adorable little knits from Etsy UK shop Close Knits making great presents. 


These handmade items cost between £5 and £6, including postage and the quality of the work is obvious. 

Check out the full shop here.

These adorable mushroom bags are how I found the shop, in my never ending forage :p You'll see the closeness of the knit and the adorable hearts on the 'lid' really make these bags stand out. 


They can easily fit a lighter or lip balm/lipstick and have a handy design that allows you to quickly and effortlessly 'pinch' them out. These can be used on their own or added to a handbag or tote as a kind of charm.

For small stocking fillers, there is the Onigiri keyring to be spot on- for anyone who likes Japanese food or Kawaii items- this keyring is perfection- please note the adorable (but very subtle!) pink cheeks!!

 Erm, yeh, you may notice i have a cat and she loves to get her white hairs EVERYWHERE...so, enjoy! :P 

Get these here.

 For our book lovers, of which I know there are a few that follow this blog, there are these amazing tea bag bookmarks! :) 

The long, thin string acts as the mark whilst giving you an adorable tea bag and tag sticking out of each end!




 Following the bookmark theme, this rainbow bookmark with a cloud is large, amazing quality, vibrant and just all round stunning!  




It fits small and large books and is also just a beautiful gift for a book lover.

If you are feeling Christmassy, the shop also has a range of mini-stockings with hangers- you can use them flat, but I like to imagine it is stuffed with mini treats! (it does also fit a lip balm, if you are interested! hehe)

Find delightful knit items!




Review

I mean, honestly, when I first found the bag and saw the price, I wasn't sure what to expect. And I have been blown away.

"I have been blown away."

 For me, I think the quality speaks for itself- the 'tightness of the knit'- especially on the mushroom bags is just perfect- it means nothing falls out, there isn't much movement, the knits aren't fraying wool and don't look like they will unravel under a mere tug! 

The mushroom bag is always going to be the star item for me as I love bags! The lid is large enough that it fully covers/closes around and the fact you can also use it as a bag charm with bigger bags is amazing. The plated, strong strap isn't the longest and I can't put it over my head if I use it solely as a bag, but for one lighter or balm you wouldn't need to! I think if the strap was longer it would get tied up and wouldn't be as easy to use as a charm, so it is good as is!

The tea bag bookmark is also sturdy and I wouldn't be worried about it snapping, it is just one 'strand' but, it does the job perfectly. Overall, these handmade items are very good value and perfect stocking fillers! Purchase with confidence! 

"Purchase with Confidence."

How to spot a fake Vendula London Bag - the vegan friendly bags with style! Tips and tricks for spotting counterfeit handbags online

 "Where did you get that bag?"  Vendula London is on online and in store brand that offer unique and wonderful bags, purses and accessories. I first found them while trying to find a unique bag for a special event and have become slightly obsessed with their unique designs!  The mix of printed and stitched design on their signature shopfront style bags offer a daring, different style. With a large array of bag shapes and designs, you can easily find the style and shape that suits you. Many styles hold lots of items easily, with a surprising amount of pockets and zips. Vendula London has earned it's place alongside the many popular brands which see the life cycle of their products continue long after they are sold out or 'retired' from the shelf. Sought after bags can reach well over twice their original retail price on auction sites and Facebook groups. Styles like The Piano Bar, The Biscuit Shop, The Book Shop and The Sewing Shop are rare and popular, as well as
