National Bakers-Crafters-Makers Day celebrates the creative individuals who bring unique, handmade items into our lives.

These creators pour their time, energy, and passion into crafting goods that stand apart from mass-produced products.

Their dedication often means working through holidays and personal time to fulfill orders and bring joy to others. This day acknowledges their hard work and the personal sacrifices they make to share their talents with the world.

Handmade products offer more than just utility; they carry the personal touch and individuality of their makers.

Each item reflects the creator’s skill and creativity, providing consumers with unique alternatives to factory-made goods.

Supporting these artisans not only helps sustain their livelihoods but also enriches our communities with diverse, heartfelt creations.

National Bakers-Crafters-Makers Day serves as a reminder to value and support the individuals who choose to create by hand, adding beauty and uniqueness to our everyday lives.

History of National Bakers-Crafters-Makers Day

National Bakers-Crafters-Makers Day started in 2020. Sue Monhait, founder of Gift Biz Unwrapped, created it to honor people who build businesses around handmade products.

She knew the pressure and time it takes to create items by hand, especially during the holiday season. Sue wanted to set aside one day to recognize these creators and the heart they put into their work.

Gift Biz Unwrapped is based in Highland Park, Illinois. The company supports people, mainly women, who sell baked goods, crafts, and other handmade items. Sue provides them with tools, podcasts, and guidance to help grow their businesses.

Through this support, many have learned how to balance creative work with the daily challenges of running a small business.

This day reminds us to look beyond store shelves and support real people doing real work. Bakers, crafters, and makers often work long hours, missing out on holidays and rest.

National Bakers-Crafters-Makers Day brings attention to their efforts and encourages us to say thank you. Whether through a kind message, a purchase, or a simple shout-out, we can all take a moment to support the handmade community.

That support makes a real difference in their lives.
