Great Handmade Gifts on Etsy!

I’m a HUGE fan of Etsy.com and I actually prefer to buy handmade gifts over manufactured anyway. I’m all for supporting the little guys. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I can’t visit Etsy.com without spending at least an hour there searching anything and everything and adding six zillion and one more items to my favorites list.

I stopped by Etsy yesterday and got lots of great gift ideas. Here’s a smattering of items from some of my favorite Etsy gals. Head on over and show ‘em some love.

My dear friend (and fellow shopping expert) Magno launched her Etsy shop over a hear and a half ago and she just keeps out-doing herself. My favorite this season? Her Fine Silver and Wool Felt Acorn Pendant. How did she know I was nuts for acorns?! Magno has lots of goodies on her site that you will adore. Trust me on this one. Last I heard she was offering 25% off and FREE SHIPPING. Head on over and see if you can still get in on that deal.

My favorite necklace in the whole wide world (for this week, anyway ), the Bright Cute as a Button Sterling Silver Necklace, made by Luxe Deluxe who ships from Edinburgh! Firmly establishing my stance that everything wonderful comes from Scotland. It was a gift to myself and that makes me happy. I get loads of compliments on it and it makes a great gift. Check out the other greatness on Luxe Deluxe’s Etsy Site – you’re sure to find something wonderful! FREE SHIPPING on $75+

I just discovered this last shop yesterday and as soon as my order was paid for, she sent me a lovely personal email. That’s the kind of stuff i like from Etsy. The personal touch. This here Owly-flavored coffee sleeve is on my wishlist for sure. Nope, I didn’t pick it up for myself (we have a strict no shopping for yourself during the holidays policy in this family), I did get another one, but I can’t share it because that would ruin the surprise. Coffee sleeves are a great idea (I’m surprised Starbucks doesn’t sell ‘em) and one simple thing that you can do to save a tree (and your hands from hot coffee!). There are tons of colors. Get three for the people on your wishlist and get the 4th FREE!
