Heard of Etsy? If you haven’t gone to the bathroom in a while I suggest you do because you may just pee your pants with excitement! Well, just go anyway because once you start browsing on Etsy you could be there for a bit.
Etsy is an online marketplace where crafters and designers from all over sell their wares. We are not just talking crocheted baby blankets. Endless amounts of unique items from talented people that love their craft. When you purchase something from Etsy as a present I guarantee the response will be “Oh my gosh! I love it! Where did you get it?”
They have an app too and trust me, it’s as addicting as Pinterest. But the best part is here you can just buy the stuff instead of dreaming you might actually make that crayon wreath for your kid’s teacher one day. As birthdays and holidays approach, think about buying on Etsy where you have the option to buy local, homemade and upcycled goods! Did I mention they have gift cards?
Here are a few picks that I collected just for you mommas out there…
1. Tea Party Pink Cut out Digital Custom Invitation Card Printable $12 2. Bubblegum Beaded Necklace $22 3. Turkey Baby Hat $34 4. Book Sling (customizable fabric) $30 5. Florida Gator’s Man Cave Sign $25 6. Mother 3 Three Children Necklace $110 7. University of Florida Gators Game Day Tank Dress Upcycled T-Shirts $47.50 8. Mason Jar Wall Organizer $30
A few tips before you start shopping:
- There isn’t the “Oh, crap I forgot about Allie’s birthday on Saturday!” overnight shipping kind of thing. You need to allow for at least 1-2 weeks to get your item. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
- Secondly, if you see a piece but wish it had a little something added to it or in a different color just message the seller. They love to create custom pieces and I’ve found that they are more than willing to accommodate your wishes. Don’t forget to leave them great feedback too!

I love Etsy. I have two Etsy shops and I am an Etsy shopper. I always search local Etsy artisans first to try to find what I want though.

Etsy is awesome! You really can get anything your heart desires! And if you don’t see exactly what you need, chances are someone will be able to make it for you.
I recently opened a shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/WeildHairAccessories
@Jodi… I have been familiar with your work for a while and always LOVED it but this was my first time visiting your Etsy shop. Super cute… just as expected!
I LOVE etsy. I’ve had my shop there for nearly two years now. I sell toddler and infant toys. http://thelittlestlearners.etsy.com
@Jessica – Very sweet shop. If my 4 year old was younger, I would have wanted her to have one of everything!
