Surfing around the site promises the discovery of products you never thought existed or that anyone was creating. Something I found to be a great idea that is useful and affordable is Bebeloosh mini snack bags. They are made of recycled hemp and organic cotton. Each bag fastens closed and there are a variety of designs available. This is a great product that will help the environment by saving on the use of plastic Ziploc bags, plastic wrap, or Tupperware containers. It also saves money by reducing the occurrence of purchasing 'on the go' containers. The bags can be washed in the washing machine and they hold up very well or you can wash them and hang dry them. The shape and make prevents any large buildup of crumbs in the bottom so a quick shake is enough cleaning before the next use.
Dress you and your little one in style and make others smile with katyANDzucchini designs on Etsy. They have a variety of onesies for babies, tshirts for adults, scarves and more for a very affordable price. What I like the best of their products is the quality of the fabric is really nice. It washes well, wears well and looks vibrant after many wears and washings; especially the printed design which can often fade or start to chip away with a lot of other products. At izzyluv's Etsy shop you'll find some really great knitted creations like hats with your child's favorite charecters on them like Elmo, Spiderman, Grover and even Watermelon and Pooh themes. The stitches are flawless and they have a great fit. They stretch enough to fit your little one's head snuggly but there are no loose spots. The colors are great as well. Another adorable shop is the turtleandrye shop where the tickled pink cupcake onesie is absolutely one of the most adorable things you could dress a little girl up in and the toddler tshirts are really unique and well made. The designs are very well thought out and a loving mom who has donated much of her time and creations to her local Children's Hospital in honor of her brave daughter creates each and every one with love and care. The sock monkeys she creates are all colorful and well made- you won't regret purchasing something from this shop (Or a few things!) Last but not least you can make sure your little one stays warm and cozy in the winter months by shopping at the Cheeki Monkee store (knitbabylady) where you can get super cute knit creations like a monkey hat attached to a matching scarf or animal themed hats and mittens with eyes on them. These are great and my son actually kept his mittens on for once!
If you need some unique children's gifts or you're just looking for something for your own little one that's different from what you'll find at a toy store head over to the Ever After Design Studio Etsy shop (everafterdesign6). Personalized lap desks and storage containers, personalized prints and hand painted step stools all reside in this shop run by Lindsey who began her creative journey when she designed a logo for her own wedding and her niece is her inspiration for her children's gifts. Prices are very affordable. Check out the earnestefforts etsy shop for safe baby products like handmade wooden rattles and spirit shakers. They are extremely well made and you'll trust their quality. Their prices are very affordable and they've been around quite a long time. You can find handcrafted wooden toys at happysquashtoys for kids of all ages. Wooden animals on wheels or a wooden ladybug tic tac toe game are great quality and you know the child receiving the gift will have nothing like it! Another unique gift is a felt story board such as the one you can buy at the Rorygirl Etsy shop. A variety of felt pieces can go along with the storyboard and coincide with your child's favorite stories or rhymes. You can even create your own! This is a great alternative (And educational) to the battery operated toys you'll find everywhere. Prices are very reasonable and great quality.
Every toddler loves to pretend they are just like their mommy so why not stock up the kitchen with some play food that your little guy or girl can use to 'make dinner' with mommy? For a change from the plastic food you can find at toy stores you can get handmade play food from shops like The Birch Perch. The banana and the T Bone steak are so cute you'll find yourself playing with them as well! At Sam McLean Designs (mclean2612) you'll find unique play food you can't find anywhere else like the sushi rolls and whole sliced pizza. A stay at home mom makes these toys from her home in Australiaand focuses her work on her two kids and what they enjoy. Karenswimmer's Etsy shop also makes some very different toy food items such as the dish of berries and cream and the hamburger with the works will leave you a little hungry yourself! Slap on a children's apron from the Daffodillies shop and your little chef will take off with their own creations! Prints come in a variety of choices and include many popular character themes. The detail of these aprons is great for the price and each one is handmade by a mom and her two daughters who use the shop as a way to spend quality time together.
If you have a little one who's starting to hit that magic age where potty training is just beginning make it easy on yourself with whizbeff's potty training pants. These pants will keep your little one's legs cozy while giving them access to using the potty on their own. Us moms and dads can relate to the constant removal of diapers and outfits to give the potty a shot. A variety of other sweater pants and wearable towels are available, prices are reasonable and the shop owner is very helpful and extremely fast in her turnaround time.
For the yoga lovers you'll have no problem picking something out at Lindsay Satchell Designs' shop. Hand painted note cards and prints are high quality and will look amazing in any room of your home. People will be impressed when they receive a note from you on one of these cards. The paper quality (As well as the canvas quality) is great and the colors are vibrant and lines are distinct. You couldn't ask for more with a handmade product like this.
Don't forget about our furry friends when you embark on your next Etsy shopping spree. The Rescue Paws Shoppe sells beautiful handmade collars and leashes for your pet. The collars are crafted with care and are far better than any product you will find in a local pet supply store. They hold up to the wear and tear of playtime and each one is equipped with a safety latch and bell. A ton of designs are available and they're super affordable so you don't have to worry about dressing your whole family of furbabies up in them! You can feel good about your purchase as well because a portion of the sales go to rescue groups.
If you need to invite your loved ones over for a get together, drop a thank you note in the mail or even if you need some stylish and unique wedding invitations you have to take a look at Juliana Bibas' Etsy shop. These handmade creations are so beautiful and perfectly put together your guests will be waiting to see what your actual event has in store! The wedding invitations are gorgeous and are definitely not something you'll get from a wedding boutique or party supply store. Nobody you know will have these hot creations! Prices are fair as well. You can also send out a note or thank you made by the This Is It Creations shop. The variety of papers and products is really great and you can even pick up a journal or piece of jewelry while you shop here. 5% of the profits are donated to animal-welfare groups as well.
When your event rolls around serve some of your tasty creations on one of the trays from Tapas Trays. These are definitely a conversation starter. The bold colors of these trays and the quality of them are fantastic and you can serve a wide variety of snacks on them. Jill at GlazedOver makes really great pottery dishes that are great for parties or for everyday use. At our house we love the mini dipping bowls and even our two year old gets in the fun of dipping in the various bowls. The colors are great and they even withstand the power of our dishwasher when they get too messy.
