Handmade Valentine’s Day Goodies

ThePointedHat Leave a comment

It’s that time of year again! Store shelves are covered in red and pink, filled with chocolates, stuffies, and greeting cards. Cutesy hearts and XOXOs are everywhere. And here at The Pointed Hat, it’s no different. We’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day, too!

Valentine's Day Scrunchie Gift Set - "Love is in the Hair"

We have “Love is in the Hair” scrunchie sets, that include a handmade scrunchie on an adorable ponytail card. They’re perfect for gifting classmates, friends, or your kiddos this year! Plus, they cost about the same as a mass-produced greeting card you’d find at the drug store! Why settle for a generic card most everyone will have, when you could choose a one-of-a-kind gift instead?

You can find these over at my Etsy shop: www.ThePointedHat.etsy.com

Valentine's Day Coffee Cozy Gift Set - "I Love You A Latte"

Next up on the list: these adorable cup cozy gift sets! You can choose from a variety of animals and pattern types, so you’re sure to get something your loved one will adore. And included in the set are some heart shaped chocolates, plus a card that says, “I Love You A Latte.” They’re just too cute! They’re also available at my Etsy shop, so make sure you stop by and take a look. I just can’t get over how awesome these sets came out!

So if you’re on the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift this year, look no further! These gift sets are sure to please even the pickiest of people.

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day this year? Are you making anything special for your loved ones? Tell us all about it in the comments!

The Love of a Hectic Holiday Season

ThePointedHat Leave a comment

Every year from October through December, I am much more busy than the rest of the year. Long ago, when school had started back up, I was busy reacclimating myself to the rigors of a schedule, homework, and extra-curricular activities (hello, fellow band kids!). As I got older, the end of the year became a time when I was busy at my retail job, where the Christmas rush was in full swing.

Have you ever gone shopping early on Black Friday? And did you see dozens of frazzled employees trying to keep up with a swarm of (usually grumpy) customers? I used to be one of those unfortunate employees. Yep, there I was behind a cash register at 4am, or running to “the back” to make sure a sale item was actually out of stock. Whew. I don’t miss that at all!

Thankfully now my busy season is full of crochet. Of course I have to say that I prefer this to anything that retail management had to throw at me!

Whether I’m whipping up Holiday themed goodies, gifts for my family, or gifts for YOUR family – I love the range of projects I complete around the holidays. My favorite this year was the Indoor Snowball Kit, which was a big hit over at my Etsy shop.

Is this your busiest time of year, too? How to you spend your holiday season? What’s your favorite holiday crochet project?
