🍂 Fall 2025 Trends: Cozy Gifts, Textures, and Handmade Touches

Fall is officially here, and with it comes a shift toward cozy comfort, rich colors, and thoughtful gifting. At Handmade in the Sandhills, we love how these seasonal trends line up perfectly with what our makers are creating. Here’s a look at what’s trending this fall—and how you can shop it locally at sandhillsmakers.com.

🧶 Cozy Textures & Fabrics

Fall is all about comfort, and nothing says cozy like handcrafted textures. This season, people are gravitating toward:

• Chunky crochet and knit – perfect for plushies, throws, and accessories.

• Handsewn details – from book sleeves to phone cases, fabric goods are as functional as they are beautiful.

• Natural fabrics – cotton, wool, and leather remain staples for fall style and durability.

👉 Shop Kayla Hougnon’s handsewn bags, sleeves, and plushies for a touch of that cozy fall texture.

🌈 Seasonal Colors & Vibes

Trending palettes lean into warm neutrals, jewel tones, and autumn-inspired hues: think deep burgundy, burnt orange, golden yellow, and earthy browns. Pops of teal and emerald add freshness and pair beautifully with wood and leather accents.

👉 Shanda’s suncatchers and Sara G. Jewelry’s leather earrings are the perfect way to add a little seasonal color to your wardrobe or home.

🎁 Thoughtful Holiday Shopping

One of the biggest fall trends is shopping early for the holidays. Shoppers are looking for unique, one-of-a-kind gifts that feel personal. Handcrafted goods are leading the way, because they tell a story and support small businesses.

👉 Paul Dunbar’s hand-turned wooden bowls or Liliana Conaway’s tallow skincare products make excellent gifts that are both practical and memorable.

🕯 Natural & Handmade Self-Care

Fall is also a time when people embrace slowing down and creating cozy rituals. Self-care gifts like candles, balms, and lotions are trending high on gift lists. Products made with natural, local ingredients are especially popular.

👉 Liliana’s Manuka Honey Tallow Chapstick or Baby Bum Cream are small, meaningful items that fit this trend beautifully.

✨ Why Handmade Fits the Trends Perfectly

Fall trends this year are less about mass-produced fashion and more about intentional, handmade living. Whether you’re gifting, decorating, or treating yourself, handmade goods offer:

• Quality craftsmanship

• Seasonal textures and colors

• Sustainability and local support

• One-of-a-kind beauty

At Handmade in the Sandhills, every product connects you to the story of a maker in our community. That makes each purchase extra special.
