Savy & Elle Christmas Inspo List

A Handmade Christmas to Treasure

Every December, there’s a moment when it all begins to feel real - the first twinkle of fairy lights, the smell of something festive baking, the quiet excitement of knowing Christmas is just around the corner.

For me, as the maker behind Savy & Elle, that moment happens at the workbench. Rolls of Liberty fabric are laid out, velvet ribbons neatly coiled, and the soft hum of the sewing machine fills the air. Each piece, from a personalised stocking to a cheeky felt pudding - begins with the same thought: how can I make someone’s Christmas morning feel magical?

This collection is my answer. Beautifully handcrafted, deeply nostalgic, and made to be loved for a lifetime, the Savy & Elle Christmas Collection is all about slowing down, cherishing and finding joy in the details. Let’s explore the collection...

Personalised Christmas Sacks

If there’s one thing guaranteed to bring back the wonder of Christmas morning, it’s waking up on Christmas morning to something that’s yours and yours alone.

My Personalised Christmas Sacks are made from timeless striped cotton and finished with a Liberty of London appliqué initial letter and ribbon tie. They’re generous, reusable, and designed to become part of the family tradition: something that reappears every year, perhaps even a little creased from being loved.

Perfect for: children with wild imaginations, couples celebrating their first Christmas together, or anyone who still feels the magic of Christmas morning.

Each sack I make is a reminder that Christmas doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be personal.

Luxury Personalised Christmas Stockings

Soft, rich velvet with a Liberty of London cuff and paired with an appliqué initial - simple, timeless, and so beautifully tactile.

These stockings are designed to hang proudly by the fireplace or staircase (or even laid at the end of a bed!) to be filled with small tokens and big memories. Handmade to order, they’re heirloom pieces that grow with you through every Christmas to come.

Perfect for: grown-ups who love to keep old traditions alive, or perhaps as a unique gift for newlyweds or new families starting fresh rituals of their own.

Oversized Padded Christmas Bow 🎀

Now these are one of my favourite things to make. Forget the plastic ribbons and disposable décor! The Oversized Padded Christmas Bows are crafted from soft velvet or cotton, padded just enough to hold their shape with grace.

Each bow is a labour of love, to be reused year after year. Whether tied around a door, staircase, or wreath, it adds a quiet sort of grandeur, elegant but welcoming, like a handwritten card waiting on the doormat.

Perfect for: house-proud hosts, new homeowners, or anyone who wants to make their front door smile with something a bit different.

Merry Christmas Bunting

There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about bunting - it feels joyful before you even hang it. The Merry Christmas Bunting is handmade in Liberty fabric and finished with cotton trim, creating a cheerful banner that brings warmth to mantels, dining rooms, and it makes the perfect backdrop for those classic family photos!

Each piece is handmade to order, and every stitch is a reminder of what small businesses do best - create something meaningful and magical, with joy stitched into every seam.

Perfect for: the home that’s always full of laughter (and probably a bit of chaos!), pattern lovers, floral fanatics, crafters, I could go on!

My First Christmas Felt Bauble

For new parents, a baby’s first Christmas is one to remember - a soft blur of twinkling lights and tiny fingers pulling at wrapping paper. The My First Christmas Felt Bauble captures that moment perfectly.

Each one is handmade from Liberty fabric and soft wool felt, with space to add a name or year. These are more than just ornaments, they’re keepsakes - something you’ll hang every year and smile at, remembering how small they once were (and believe me, I know how quickly that time goes!).

Perfect for: new parents, doting grandparents, and families who love keepsakes that tell a story.

Merry Christmas Felt Baubles

Now I don’t know about you, but a tree isn’t complete without something handmade on it! (Did anyone else have a slightly battered fairy on the top of their tree?!) My Merry Christmas Felt Baubles bring a touch of nostalgia and warmth - crafted from Liberty of London fabric, soft felt, and finished with a velvet ribbon.

Each one is slightly different, just like the people they’re gifted to. That’s the charm of handmade - the quiet joy in knowing someone’s hands made this for you.

Perfect for: thoughtful stocking fillers, teacher presents, or friends you want to surprise with something that says “I saw this and thought of you.”

Figgy Pudding Felt Decorations

And finally, the piece that ALWAYS makes people smile - the Figgy Pudding Felt Decorations. Did you ever see a cheekier little thing? With their cheerful stitched faces and little felt holly leaves, they bring personality and playfulness to any tree, mantel, in fact, you could even hang them in the car! (We all know someone who loves to dangle things from their mirror!).

Each one is stitched by hand, so no two are quite the same! It’s impossible not to grin when you see them - they’re my favourite reminder that Christmas should be fun, not flawless.

Perfect for: children’s rooms, festive shelves, or anyone who loves a pudding with personality!

The Magic of Shopping Small

When you choose something handmade, you’re not just ticking off a gift list. You’re genuinely supporting someone’s dream - a real person, a real studio, and a small business that pours its heart into every order.

This Christmas, let’s shop slower, choose smaller, and celebrate the beauty of things made by hand. Because every stitch tells a story - and every story, when shared, becomes part of something bigger.
