Hector Handmade

Such a cute shop and my 5 year old was so proud of the necklace he made - thanks to the shop owner for being helpful and patient! Beautiful hand crafted items (paintings, ornaments, soaps, jewelry, home goods). Highly recommend!

Hector Handmade is a must stop whenever I’m in the area. I’m biased as I grew up with owners Jesse and Jenny- but it really is the best. All of the items are made within a small radius of Hector (~30ish miles) and curated with care. There’s a bead bar to make your own jewelry and they are always sourcing new artists. There is something for every price point so it’s a great spot to check off gifts large and small. The owners are also local so they’ll have lots of suggestions for visiting the area and checking out cool places. One of my favorite little items to pick up are small pieces of art for under $10, Jennys watercolor jewelry and ornaments, and the acorn ornaments made with acorn caps and different scraps of fabric.

Jenny is a sweetheart. This adorable gift shop in a 1930s gas station building couldn't be any cuter. Beautiful local handmade gifts including wood, pottery, visual art and a bead bar. My friend and I had a wonderful time making a beautiful pair of earrings and a necklace. Worth stopping in and browsing! Also bought cool visual art star wars for my grandson!
