Today I will show you several items you can buy that are handmade, quality items, and they are $5 or less. Thanks for supporting small businesses and local artists!
These are just a few goodies I've found while looking through Etsy and ArtFire for handmade gifts for women $5 and under. There are tons more! I hope this selection makes you smile.
