The smug messages have already hit social media, haven’t they? People who bought their Christmas presents before Easter are now announcing that they are all wrapped and they are sitting by their extravagantly decorated Christmas trees waiting for their Christmas groceries to be delivered. Oh no, there won’t be a mad rush around the shops on Christmas Eve to hunt down the last remaining Christmas cake for these guys!
Personally, I’ve hardly even thought about Christmas yet but with the big day just over 5 weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about what my loved ones might like to receive.
When it comes to Christmas shopping, Etsy has come to the rescue for me many times. For those of you who haven’t already discovered Etsy, it is an online marketplace where independent sellers of the creative variety can sell their handmade products. It’s like a virtual craft fair. There’s such a wide variety of unique handmade gifts and, of course, these are products that are simply not available on the high street.
By purchasing from Etsy you are also supporting small businesses and, if you choose to buy from sellers in your own country, you can boost your local economy too.
If you’re in need of some inspiration, Etsy even offers helpful ‘Editor’s Picks’ lists and the Activewear Style Guide is especially appropriate for yoga lovers and gym bunnies.

Here are a few of my favourite Christmas gifts for yoga lovers:
I was immediately attracted to this Yoga Mat Bag’s pretty pink/purple pattern, but it is also practical with a full length zip and a front pocket.
I had never seen silk wrap bracelets until I saw them on Etsy a year or two ago. There are lots of different versions available but this Silk Wrap Bracelet has yoga related charms, making it a perfect gift for yoga lovers.
Harem Pants are just so comfortable and these ones have such a pretty pattern too.
This Spirit Meditation Balm contains grounding Cedar wood, cleansing Ginger and uplifting Mandarin and Vetiver to help you find inner peace. It would be a lovely natural alternative to perfume too.
I really like the look of this Buddhist Prayer ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ Papercut Art. It’s simple and yet so effective.
For planner nerds like me, these Yoga Planner Stickers make a super gift. They’d be ideal to slip inside a Christmas card as a small gift for friends in your yoga class or, if you are a yoga teacher, why not give some to each of your pupils?
This Namasté Wall Sticker would enable your special someone to create a great feature wall and bring their love of all things yoga into their home décor.
I absolutely love this personalised ‘Gone To Yoga’ Rustic Sign. Simply adorable!
This unisex Namast’ay Home With My Dog T-Shirt adds a touch of humour and is the perfect gift for lovers of both dogs and yoga.
So, my fellow yoga lovers, what’s on your wish lists this year?
I absolutely love the wall stickers and the silk wrap bracelet with yoga charms — too cute 🙂
I may have to become better at Yoga just for these. Such fantastic pieces. I also love the bracelet- looks like something I could definitely wear everyday too!
All these are super cool stuff for Yoga lovers! My favorite is Harem Pants!
Ooooo so many fabulous gift ideas!!! My sister is yoga obsessed so I will be keeping a few of these suggestions in mind!
Love the stickers and also the wrap bracelet! That color is just wonderful!
Christmas shopping is so much fun and I always love gifts that are personalized based on everyone’s profile. These are some great gift ideas for yoga lovers and I am in love with that Silk Wrap Bracelet & Harem Pants right away!
I would love to have those Harem pants! Of course, since I don’t do yoga, I think they would be good for relaxing around the house, or even as sleepwear. It looks so soft and comfy. I do have some friends who do yoga and I think they’ll love the yoga mat bag.
Awesome ideas! The pants i love so much!
Those pants look so cute and also so comfortable. This reminds me I need to go back to yoga soon =)
I have been wanting a Yoga Mat bag! I love the pink and the purple one you featured! I will have to share it with my husband!

I’ve never done yoga but have always wanted to try it. I love the harem pants!
I want all of these!! Those harem pants are such a beautiful fuchsia colour and those bracelets are gorgeous! Totally agree with supporting smaller businesses on sites such as Etsy and supporting local economy is even better. Ree Love30
I am not exactly a Yoga lover but I do love that wall sticker–it says it all!
Ooh I love the Harem Pants! I don’t know why but I always assumed you can only do yoga in tight leggings or shorts.

The Harem Pants are definitely suitable for a lot of styles of yoga and they are super comfy. They are tight enough around the ankles that they won’t slide up your leg too. However, there are some yoga styles, such as Bikram, that I wouldn’t say they were appropriate for.
Yes, I want them all too, haha! There are lots of gorgeous things on Etsy and it’s good to know that we are supporting the small businesses.

This is a great list on what to buy for Yoga lovers for Christmas. I have friends who are into Yoga and looks like I will be checking out Etsy too to shop around. The paper cut art looks like a nice decor for home too. Hoping there are stocks available here in our country.
Yes, that’s really beautiful, isn’t it? I hope you enjoy browsing on Etsy and manage to get what you want 🙂
