Shopping in malls and even online can sometimes be generic and not unique. Etsy is a huge online shopping site that offers handmade and vintage items, crafts, and artist-made products that are creative and ideal for individualists looking for styles and decor that reflect their personalities.
All of its vendors are small business owners so when you shop with them, you are helping them build their businesses.
Each shop owner has a store on Etsy that is search-friendly and categorized so that it’s easy for customers to find what they need. This allows them to sell their wares without setting up booths at art or craft fairs or to build expensive shopping websites. This lowers their overhead so their small businesses will thrive.
When you shop on Etsy, you are helping these businesses survive with every purchase. But you will also find amazing items that you will love and cherish.
This page of Etsy gift recommendations is updated frequently so keep stopping by to see what’s new.
Handmade-to-Fit Linen Dress
I bought this amazing linen dress by Simpson on Etsy and it was handmade to my dimensions which aren’t exactly model-thin. It fit me perfectly and I didn’t even have to hem it because I told them I was 5’2″. I love it and the detailed work is lovely. It comes in a variety of gorgeous colors.
Stay cool in this v-neck linen blouse
This breezy blouse is simple, chic, and handmade. It is made of breathable linen and is available in tan, sage, black, and white.
Turkish Bathrobe
This stunning Turkish bathrobe is made of 100 percent pure organic cotton and is light, comfortable, and lovely. It makes a wonderful beach cover-up, or to wear around the house.

Feather Art
My sister Janet Leroy is an American Southwestern artist who paints on feathers. She, as well as many other artists, has a shop on Etsy. You can order note cards, spirit feathers, and other delicate feather art pieces. The photo below is one of her spirit feathers. She incorporates natural objects into her wildlife feather art designs that are spiritual as well as a tribute to the natural and animal world.
