Holiday Shopping with the CT Etsy Team

Kirstie of the Connecticut Etsy Team has created a gift guide for the holiday season. It came out really nice! Click here to check it out!

Holiday List

I'm going to try and do the majority of my holiday shopping on Etsy this year. I'd rather support individual artists and artisans than some big corporation.

It's always so hard to find the right gift for everyone on your list. But that's what I love about etsy... there's something for everyone on there!

For the music lover...


This fun, screen printed shirt is from Salmon Street Studio for $26.

For the dashcund lover...

This little cutie is $13 from the Ginger Card Co., and is made from EcoSpun felt, which is recycled from plastic bottles!

For the crafty one...

Woolpets offers several DIY kits for needlefelting. The one above is $18, but others vary in price between $16 and $20. And it's great for the bird lover, too!


Not sure what to give...

Who couldn't use a pretty bowl for company? Pottery is a great option when you're not sure what they'll really want for Christmas. This lovely heart bowl is $20 from Red Hot Pottery and is food, dishwasher and microwave safe!

For the die-hard journalist...


This lovely photo from MKC Photography gives a up-close look at the keys of a vintage Remington typewriter. Available in multiple sizes, this listing is for an 8x10 matted photograph for $25.

For the coworkers...

Morgan Street Soap offers delicious-looking cold process soaps, at just the right price. For $5.50 a slice, this little piece of heaven is a great option to show coworkers you're thinking about them this holiday, too.

Cards Help Bunnies :)

I'm still trying to get a grip on my inbox, and while weeding it out today, I came upon an update from Cats, Rabbits and More.

The San Luis Obispo Buns Urgently Needing Shelter (SLOBUNS) rescue group in Central California has created five greeting cards featuring rescued rabbits, with 100 percent of the proceeds going back to SLOBUNS.


That lovely little lop is one of the featured cards on the Web site. Each 5x7 card is $3.50. What a cute idea for holiday gifts!
