If somebody will get this walking carpet out of my way, I’ll be able to tell you all about these amazing handmade gifts for the Princess Leia fans in your life (or for yourself, let’s be honest). From mugs to notebooks to incredible art that will wow your guests, here are some gorgeous works of art from dedicated Etsy sellers who’ve made Princess Leia their business. You may not be able to find these items locally, but you can feel good about purchasing something amazing from an artisan online.

Here are two classic Halloween costumes that combine to make something even more amazing. Princess Leia plus Day of the Dead makeup = fantastico! While I’m personally inspired to make this my costume next October 31, I’ll have to make do in the meantime with enjoying this ceramic mug with roses, guns, and skeletal Leia.

Maybe this is a little bit sacrilegious, but Leia is a pretty amazing and dignified princess (and general). Etsy seller The Eternal Flame says “If you worship Princess Leia and acknowledge her saint status in your heart, you probably need to burn this candle and praise Her name.” Every candle is unscented and you can choose between red, white, blue, green, pink, purple, orange, and yellow. Each candle uses recycled and eco-friendly packaging material.

Etsy seller Three Letter Birds makes all sorts of adorable Star Wars stocking stuffers, but this one is my favorite of her little hand-sewn notebooks. It showcases Princess Leia’s Hoth look from The Empire Strikes Back and is the perfect place for jotting down all your plans about how you’re going to overthrow the Empire and restore peace to the galaxy (when Han’s not trying to get you all riled up in the south passage). For bonus points, get some of her hand drawn Star Wars stickers to punctuate your entries.

This minimalist poster is the perfect way to artistically express your love for the sassiest princess in the galaxy. Each one is printed with Original Epson Ink on High Quality Epson Archival Paper. Etsy seller Sparkle Nest sells an incredible variety of other similarly styled posters featuring all of your favorite characters, so consider starting a gallery wall in your home to display a collection.

These are just the thing to stick your Rogue One tickets up on the fridge where you can see them; your to-do list is also a good candidate. They also work in your locker as an expression of your Star Wars love even if you don’t really need to pin anything up with them. They’re one inch in diameter so they’re the perfect mini size for any magnetic surface.

Definitely the best place to set down your glass of blue bantha milk, these Princess Leia coasters from Etsy seller Kiki Jeannes are made from upcycled ceramic tiles coated in clear lacquer. My favorite is the one referencing The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, but I kind of love them all.

This is the perfect coffee cup or tea mug for boss ladies everywhere. Of course, it works pretty well for your house too, especially if you’re the mom. Etsy seller Rcn Moonpies says it best: “Let everybody know who wears the buns in the family.” Each one is a simple ceramic mug with oil-based permanent marker, so these would be pretty easy to craft yourself if you’re feeling like DIYing.

I don’t even know what to say about this except that it exists and it is BY FAR the most unique Star Wars creation that I have ever seen in my entire life. Etsy seller Wonder Ann says “This altered Christmas decoration started its life as a tacky music box that I rescued from a local thrift shop, using clay and paint to transform tacky into tauntalizing!” Ok, Wonder Ann, you are my new best friend. This is especially true because this isn’t a one-off - Wonder Ann’s shop is filled with incredible creations like a crocheted Mary Shelley stuffie holding a precious widdle baby Frankenstein lovingly in her arms, an upcycled Obi-wan Kenobi egg cup, and oversized African-style Frankenstein comedy and tragedy masks. Go check it out and watch your wallet because WOW these are fabulous.

Each of these magnets is one-of-a-kind and features Princess Leia responding in shock, “So he’s my father too?” Each one comes in a little organza (or should I say Organa) gift bag and more can be made upon request in case you know multiple people who would love to find this in their stocking come Christmas morning.

Strong women and girls everywhere will love this anti-princess poster declaring “I don’t need rescuing!” Etsy seller Music and Art Co. has a ton of five-star reviews and people love how high quality this premium cardstock print looks on their walls.

This awesome, lightweight necklace from Shop n Squee features Princess Leia on bright pink flannel with a backing of solid black cotton cloth. The tag is heat sealed and treated to prevent fraying, and hangs on an extended gunmetal chain.

Etsy seller Loco Glam calls this a “rag doll” but it’s really work of art. This is the fourth doll from Loco Glam’s "Nerd Dream" collection. The doll is about 15 inches tall with hypoallergenic filling, worsted wool hair, and her face is handpainted. She’s dressed in a "Star Wars: A New Hope" clothes and accessories. This seller can make custom Star Wars dolls if you’ve got something else in mind, but I’m pretty much in love with the incredible details of this one. Look at that belt! That gun! That take-charge expression on her beautiful face!
