Favorites Gift Ideas from Etsy

November 2nd, 2010

We’ve been busy getting ready for the holidays, trying to plan ahead with presents and decorations to limit the last minute scrambling that inevitably happens each December. This year instead of our typical Week of Design, we’re talking about holiday gifts, presenting items we love and recommend, as well as items from our wishlists for fun splurge items.

I’m a big fan of Etsy. I love that the money from sales go directly to the artists. I love the idea that art can be affordable. I love the idea of art being accessible. I love the diversity of artists selling their wares. I love browsing the site, adding new favorites, and day dreaming of things to buy. Here are some items that I think are splurge-worthy.

Artwork and Posters I Heart Lust After:

Choose Joy, Keep Calm and Conjure a Patronus Charm, and Kitchen Conversions

Lake Waters, Leap 33, and So Cozy

One of a Kind Hand Printed Tea Towels:

Block Printed Organic Cotton Mason Jar Towel and Set of 4 Seasons Tea Towels

Lovely Jewelery:

Blue Topaz Trio and Monet Gemstone Sterling Stacking Rings

Favorite Shops:

Janet Hill Studio


Shirt Sela


Jane Mount


Element Clay Studio


Elizabeth Scott Designs – Botanical Jewelry

David bought me the above necklace for my first Mother’s Day; love it!
