Etsy!



This website is absolutely amazing- it is an online place where people can buy and sell handmade crafts, art, decor, templates, patterns and anything homemade! I literally could spend hours on this site- most of the things that are listed on here are absolutely amazing and its unbelievable that someone even made them!

If you're into making your own crafts etc. you can actually make an account and sell your products online! Not crafty? Buy other people's amazing things! A lot of items look like something you've seen in a store- but what is great is that this stuff isn't mass produced, unique and sometimes one-of-a-kind. So neat to support someones hobby and business!

I don't even know where to tell you to begin to look but there are a million categories (If you don't know what category you want to shop for i.e. Wedding, patterns, needlework, then you can shop by colour, editor's pick or even a Shop Local section- which can be hard to find sometimes, yet here it is laid out for you :) (There's sellers in Halifax for all you current Haligonians!)

I stumbled upon a local Halifax seller who makes really cute & funny greetings card. I actually purchased a few of these at Christmas at the Forum last year. The seller is Wry & Ginger who make "Seriously funny handmade cards in original designs!". They have really cheeky cards with cute pictures (I'm biased to bunnies!) and they grabbed my attention right away. Re-think Hallmark holidays and inject some Wry & Ginger originals into your life!

For your next gift, check out etsy to support an artisan, crafter and creator of something original and beautiful!!
