If not, you totally should!!
With Christmas just around the corner (collective screams heard from the audience), I highly encourage you to check out Etsy - it's like Ebay for homemade items. A large percentage of Etsy sellers are Moms, so by purchasing something from them, you're supporting a mom and her business. And you get something super cute that's homemade (or vintage), likely cheaper than anything similar in a retail store, and infinitely more thoughtful.
Here's a few of my favorite Etsy sellers, along with my favorite holiday gift idea from their store. Happy shopping!!
Sweet Papery has the most beautiful stamps, labels, monograms, etc. Wonderful gift for just about anyone!
I love the handmade bowls and wall plaques done by Elm Studios
Wanna do good for Christmas? Then purchase something from Water4Christmas...all proceeds from the sale of their items go towards building fresh water wells in West Africa.
Love to give clothes to your nieces/granddaughters/cousins, etc? How about a one of a kind, super cute skirt from Pixilane this year?!
Gock's Frocks has some, too!
Got a photography buff on your list? These prints from Jacquelyn Lee are gorgeous!
She also does really funky letter canvases that you could use to spell out anything you want.
Basically, what I'm sayin' is, head on over to Etsy - you'll be amazed at the many creative gift ideas you'll stumble upon. There's bound to be something for everyone on your list!
(I'll continue to post great finds as I come across them, too, so check back here for even more ideas!)
You are an amazing photographer, Stacy! Great website too, by the way. =)
