Unique Handmade Crochet Gifts & Stationery
Looking for a gift that makes people smile? I turn soft cotton yarn into tiny, functional treasures for your desk and home. Every piece here is handmade by me in Bangalore.
Here is a flip-through of my most unique creation: the 2024 crochet desktop calendar. Each month features a different adorable handmade applique, which can be reused as a bookmark or craft embellishment later.
A look at the first four months of my crochet calendar, featuring balloons, hearts, a cute character, and butterflies. It's a delightful way to mark the passing of time.
The middle months of the year, from May to August, feature a sun, a rainbow, clouds, and sunflowers on my handmade desk calendar.
The final four months of my crochet calendar, featuring daisies, a ghost for Halloween, a cactus, and a snowflake for December. It's a gift that keeps on giving all year long.
What is this little guy? It's a sunny-side-up fridge magnet. This video shows off one of my quirkiest creations, a fun and unexpected piece of decor for your kitchen.
About this collection
My crochet desktop calendars are designed to live on after the year is done. Each month features a unique, handcrafted applique, like a sunflower or a little ghost, that detaches easily to become a reusable bookmark or a cute embellishment for your craft projects.
Why Choose Handmade Stationery?
In a world of mass-produced plastic, there is something special about holding a gift made from soft cotton yarn. I design these pieces to be both functional and fun, bringing a bit of 'desi' charm to your workspace. Whether it is a sunny-side-up egg magnet to brighten your fridge or a 12-piece calendar set for your desk, my goal is to create objects that add personality to your daily routine.
The Quality of My Craft
Every item listed here is made from 100% cotton yarn. I choose this material specifically for its durability and texture. It holds shape well, resists pilling, and feels gentle to the touch. When you order a piece from me, you are getting something that has been washed, stiffened where necessary, and checked by hand to ensure it meets the quality I’d expect in my own home.
Customization is Key
One of the best parts of working with yarn is the flexibility it offers. If you see a design you like but want it in a different color palette, or if you have a completely new idea for a gift, just let me know. I love taking on challenges, so feel free to share your vision and we can build something custom together.
