Not sure what to get for that special someone on your holiday gift list? Want to spoil yourself with a gift from "Santa" under your tree? We have just the thing! Things, rather - beautiful gift sets that make your holiday gift giving easy. We've added a number of lovely bath and body gift sets, such as this Oatmeal, Milk & Honey gift set:


There's a bar of our yummy Oatmeal, Milk & Honey handmade soap as well as the coordinating cozy Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Bath. There's also a bottle of delicious Cinnamon Sugar Body Lotion, and a Milk & Honey soy candle that smells oh-so-divine. All our bath and body gift sets come tucked into those sweet, fun stainless tubs, wrapped up in cellophane and tied with a pretty ribbon. There's also an Apricot Freesia gift set, a Sunshine gift set, a Lavender Relaxation gift set, and a Gentle Me Body Bliss gift set.

We also have kitchen gift sets for the cook in your life!


Each kitchen gift set comes with two potholders, two dishtowels, and a matching full apron. All items are pre-shrunk, so nothing comes out of the wash all wonky. (We hate that!) These are the same great quality as our other kitchen linens - all aprons are fully lined with adjustable neck straps and front pockets. All potholders feature hand pockets for easy gripping and a heat-resistant core. Our blue modern stars is shown above, but they're also available in our earthy green swirls.

Have a thankful home!

This has been a year of firsts for our family - first baby especially, and all the "firsts" that come along with that. TK celebrated her first Halloween by being the cutest little pumpkin ever,


and Hannah's Toybox celebrated by making some custom costumes. We are very proud to show off this handsome devil costume (much appreciated by this handsome angel):


and this period-appropriate prairie costume:


We hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween as well!

Now that November is here, we're turning our attention to Thanksgiving (and Christmas gifts, of course, but one holiday at a time, please). We have a beautiful selection of handmade, reversible table runners and placemats in our "Christmas Presents" section. Don't be fooled by the name of the section - all our holiday-themed items are in this section, and as new holidays come around, we'll be adding more. (Wouldn't it be fun to have a cute heart-patterned runner for that Valentine's dinner your cooking for your sweetie?) We also have matching napkins to complete your holiday table, and we can even craft a matching apron, potholders, and dishtowels so you really have a holiday home.


Because we're so thankful for your support, for the entire month of November we're offering ten percent off* every item in the "Christmas Presents" and "Playing House" sections of the shop. Just mention "Hannah's First Thanksgiving" in the remarks section when you place your order. As an added bonus, we're throwing in free shipping on all orders over $75, and you don't even need a coupon for that!

*Because Etsy doesn't have a way for us to apply coupons (and if they do we haven't figured it out yet), we will refund this money back to you as soon as we receive your order.

New kitchen & table linen prints!

Don't forget to order your Halloween costume by October 15! Click here for a coupon for free shipping!

New prints are up over at Hannah's Toybox! We've added some beautiful, fun new prints to our kitchen linens line (aprons and potholders). There's a fun blue modern stars print, cute cherries on a pink background, and a gorgeous green-and-brown swirl. And how about this fabulous peach floral?


We've also added new prints to our holiday table linens line. There's an elegant holly leaf swirl on an ivory background, backed in a rich holiday stripe for our reversible table runners and placemats. We also added beautiful Hannukah dreidls backed with a pretty blue snowflake print. Of course, each of these prints is available individually in our cocktail napkins and dinner napkins to complete your holiday table.


When we mentioned kitchen linens, did you think of dishtowels? So do we! Keep your eyes peeled for our lovely dishtowels, which will of course be available in all our apron prints to coordinate with your other kitchen linens.

In the beginning, there was a blog

Welcome to Hannah's Toybox!

We're just getting started so don't be alarmed about the lack of posts here or the small-ish selection over here. There will be more, and soon! In the meantime, we are excited to have set up shop on Etsy. Like, ridiculously excited. Jumping-out-of-our-skins-with-excitement excited. Not even kidding.

We plan for this blog to be little "fireside chats" about new ideas we're kicking around and how our projects are coming along. You'll get to see our new projects first and from time to time we'll offer special savings on those new projects before we put them up for sale on the Etsy site. We'll also offer coupon codes and special freebies for our loyal readers, and maybe even a giveaway or two or six. Because really, who doesn't love a giveaway?

So, you're probably wondering who "we" are. We are Pam and Erin, mother and daughter, in that order. Pam has been sewing since she was a little girl, and Erin followed in her footsteps - so much so that she currently sews on the Elna that Pam was given as a high school graduation gift! Pam currently runs a preschool and just loves her kiddos there. Erin is married to The ED and Hannah (otherwise known as The Kiddo, or TK for short), our shop's namesake, was born just four months ago. We love love love to sew, love to create, love to make things from "nothing." Pam refers to fabric stores as her personal art gallery, and The ED teases Erin about "indoctrinating" TK early since she gets hauled around to fabric and craft stores with Mama all the time.

In the works at the shop: very very soon we'll be offering costumes! Just in time for Halloween, we know, but we'll be offering them all year long. Costumes are great for kids to role-play and learn in... they're not just for dress-up anymore. If you've already checked out the shop, you've probably seen our fun aprons and potholders. We'll be adding matching dishtowels soon, as well as coordinating table linens. We'll also do the reverse for the holiday table linens - put up the coordinating kitchen linens. In the meantime, if you see something you like but you want it just a little bit different (say, a different fabric), drop us a line at hannahstoybox (at) gmail (dot) com. We can certainly accomodate custom requests, and we love making one-of-a-kind items that will be sure to please you.

Keep checking back with us, and thanks for your support!
