It’s that time of year! Dust off your Christmas decorations, pick out the perfect tree and get everyone a gift. Perhaps you have a Secret Santa to buy for and have no idea what to choose. Well, put the picky people aside and gift your person a 144 Collection piece that guarantees they will love you and their gift for years to come. So, whether that be a stocking stuffer coin purse or a wristlet just big enough to hold all the gift cards, we’ve got thoughtful handmade gifts for you.




If the person you’re giving a gift to has no staple bags, check out this wristlet. With a whimsical design, this wristlet is bound to brighten anyone’s day. With two buttoned front pockets, they can put their quick items in the front while keeping all the important items on the inside. Give the gift that says “let’s take a trip to the botanical garden.”
