Handmade Heirloom Blankets Mission

Artfully Unique Gifts exists to wrap the world in comfort, connection, and purpose—one handmade heirloom at a time.

We create luxuriously soft, snuggle-worthy blankets and artisan-crafted jewelry and accessories that feel like a warm hug and a love note all in one.

For those who treasure meaning over mass production, our pieces become future heirlooms—joyfully gifted, lovingly kept, and proudly passed down.

And because giving should feel good inside and out, a portion of every purchase helps support the fight against human trafficking—proving that cozy can also be powerful.

Meet the Maker - Cathy

She’s the warm heart and witty brain behind Artfully Unique Gifts - a solo force of handmade magic operating out of a studio that's basically the textile version of a five-star spa. With over 30 years of crafting under her belt and probably a crochet hook in her hand, she turns yarn, denim, and thread into cozy, compliment-worthy treasures.

Cathy’s mission? To banish the “frumpy handmade” myth and replace it with high-quality, stylish keepsakes that make customers feel seen, special, and maybe even a little smug when their friends ask, “Where’d you get that?!”

She’s all heart and hustle — designing dreamy products with joy, while wrestling the less-fun beasts of online business like SEO, admin tasks, and Shopify gremlins. Oh, and did we mention she’s aiming to donate 20% of profits to help end human trafficking? Yeah. She’s not just handmade — she’s handmade with a mission.

Stitched with Love

I was 12 when my at Great Aunt taught me to crochet.  I loved the thought of making something with my own two hands; the feel of the yarn in my hands and the many colors.  My Aunt showed me some of the lovely and very old needlework that was passed down from our ancestors many years before.  I’ve been crocheting on and off over many years since then, and I still love the feel of the yarn running through my fingers, and all the beautiful and colorful fabrics I sew.

As I create, I often think of the person who may end up with the product and try to add my good thoughts and good vibrations into my work hoping some of it is retained there as part of me bringing something good to you! I hope you love my work and pass it on through the generations of your family like we have done in mine.

Thank you for browsing my shop, and I hope you find something you like here that will make you feel comfy and cozy! I truly hope you have a wonderful day!
