Truth is, there is no other place I’d rather leave my money at in exchange for products than Esty. You won’t ever see me shopping at the malls (I literally can’t stand them and especially during holidays – it’s pure madness), but you can find me ordering and pinning handmade things at Etsy. Which I hope will stay the way it is – just regular gifted folks selling their products without going into mass production.
Here is my latest purchase:
I couldn’t find more perfect, minimalistic and meaningful “V” necklace for myself that I found at this store. The shipping and handling was impeccable and the packaging it came in makes this a perfect holiday gift.So with holiday season coming up, I urge you, my dear readers, to get your gifts at Etsy (of course if you have time to make your own – that’s even better) but if you have resources to shop for something unique, Etsy is the way to go.
Let’s support artisans and their efforts, rather than spending our hard earned money on fancy brands and meaningless labels.
Just a suggestion.
I wholeheartedly agree with ditching malls, brands, bargains (yes, I mean WalMart and Costco - those soulcrushing behemoths of mass-produced atrocities). I also hope that Etsy will stay true to its priciples. For now I am definitely a fan! ~M
