There's a site on the internet called Etsy.com which was founded in 2005. The site allows people to sell their handmade products online in order to make a living off their craft without having to open a shop or start their own website. Since it began, Etsy has taken off with a vengeance and currently features a huge variety of products including ceramics, hand-engraved jewelry and even handmade toys for the little ones. The best part is that you can find items at a great price and a lot of Etsy shop owners will customize items to your desired color, size, etc.
A great idea for Moms and Grandmas who love to cook and entertain is the Jadewink shop's embroidered kitchen towels. The Mom and Daughter team do all the work themselves on an embroidery machine and Mom has even written two books on her creative sewing. The towels are colorful and the embroidery is elaborate and neat. They wash well and are priced very reasonably. To help your loved one cook up their traditional holiday treats you can gift a set of custom measuring spoons from the Jbox shop. Handmade beads and hardware can be customized with specific colors and styles. Whether for decoration or for use, these measuring spoons will definitely be a hit.
Don't forget to throw in a handmade candle with any gift from the Bungalo Etsy shop. Owner, Tiffany, enjoys the therapeutic process of making candles and uses only soy based products so her candles are safe for the environment. There's scents for every season and if you need a year 'round idea, the Breakfast at Tiffany's candle is fresh and delightful!
A great way to help organize kitchen clutter for the females in your life is through the SheraeVinylStudio shop. This creative shop owner got her start as a stay at home mom who painted quotes and murals on friend's and neighbor's walls for a fee. When this became tedious she bought her own equipment and started making vinyl dry erase boards and calendars. The products come out great and you won't pay as much as you would for other reusable products through online companies. Products can be customizable with last names, quotes and colors. Glass blocks, ornaments and frames are all available at the SheraeVinylStudio Etsy shop as well.
It can be tough to shop for kids these days since their main interest is often in electronic toys and video games which can break the bank if you're not careful. Be sure not to duplicate a gift for the little ones this year by purchasing a pocket game from the GrowSmartGames shop on Etsy.com. These dry erase surfaced toys provide kids with a great way to occupy their time in the car, at home, during a busy wait at a Dr's office or while visiting on the holidays and they're very inexpensive. The best part is they can be reused. Each pocket game features a number of different games like Tic Tac Toe, Dots and Boxes, etc. I Spy games are also available.
Another Mom and Daughter duo creates hand knitted finger puppets in a variety of charecters and colors. They're excellently crafted, and will put a smile on any little one's face this holiday season. A finger puppet set can be customized and personalized to any consumer's desire and the creators welcome this challenge and new idea. You can check out the variety of puppets at the WeeKnit Etsy shop.
Dorrie at dfrdesign's shop gives a creative option for hard to shop for men. Her prints are colorful and unique and the Yankee Stadium print will please any fan's obsession! The paper is high quality, colors are vibrant and are packaged safely so the prints arrive on time and safely. A variety of sizes are available as well and all fit well in whatever frame you pick up.
Whatever you choose, Etsy.com offers a huge variety of products from flexible creators who will ensure you're happy with your purchase and that it gets to you as efficiently as possible (Keep in mind when shopping that these products are handmade so if you need them by a certain date- check first!)
