Silhouette Gift Ideas! 2020 Wish List (And Why Shopping This Year is So Different)

As I've done every year for the last several on Silhouette School, I'm sharing a Silhouette Holiday Gift Giving Guide! 

Whether you're looking for craft gift ideas for yourself or want to drop a hint or two to Santa...our 2020 Silhouette Gift Guide should be helpful. 

This year holiday shopping - for Silhouette, craft, and pretty much all other items - is going to be different. The pandemic has created a massive divide between supply and demand..which is not only impacting availability, but could also impact the traditional holiday sales.  With what's expected to be even more online shopping than in previous years, significant shipping delays are also expected.  So here's my best advice...

2019 Silhouette Gift Guide: Give (and Get) the Best Craft Supplies!

It's time for our 4th(!!!) annual Husband's Ultimate silhouette Gift Giving Guide. If you've been around Silhouette School awhile you know, every year before the holidays we put out a Silhouette gift guide. Call me an enabler, call me an elf, call me on Christmas morning when you got what you WANTED!!!

Now here's the awesome part...like last year, with the 2019 edition of the Ultimate Husbands' Silhouette Gift Giving Guide we're able to point you to our favorite retailers and also to a public Amazon Silhouette Wish List (super cool)...and we're able to keep on adding when we find more awesome stuff (like on (pre, pre, pre) Black Friday!)  

In fact I've already been sharing deals because Black Friday has seemed to turn into Black November... 

Two that are definitely worth pointing out is the brand spankin' new Build Your Own Silhouette CAMEO Bundle AND the  $299 pre Black Friday CAMEO 4 Bundle deal which is $40 off what it normally sells for. This price is BETTER than Black Friday pricing when CAMEO 4 bundles will be $30 off their regular price. So if you want this one - grab it because the deal expires Saturday, November 23 at 11:59pm est.

DIY Baby Blanket Tutorial with Silhouette CAMEO and Electric Heat Transfer Vinyl

I've been scratching my head recently trying to think of a unique baby boy gift for a friend's second baby.  I came across the baby month blankets that are gaining popularity right now - but still cool and different...and then the inspiration hit!  I love when I can take an idea and totally make it my own which is what I did with this Texas theme baby blanket!

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own.

My struggle with this project was the fact that while I had a whole set of this beautiful new (as in just released yesterday) Easyweed Electric Heat Transfer Vinyl from Expressions Vinyl...I only had 12x12" sheets in each color.  (Believe me you want all the colors - they're all stunning!  You can check out Expressions Vinyl's full selection of Siser Easyweed Electric HTV here.)
