Happy Birthday To Me, Happy Birthday To Me…
Can you guess what today is? Come on, can you?
🙂
Today I am spending my birthday with my wonderful family. Yes, that means today I will be taking a break from the cutting and bending and finishing and creating. Well, maybe. Hehe.
Since I’m in a birthday mood though, I thought I would post a little note about birthday presents. Ah, birthday presents. Fun to give, fun to get, yet sometimes impossible to pick out! I know I have often spent hours searching through the internet and through stores, looking for that perfect item. I have googled “perfect gifts for your best friend” and “birthday presents for grandma,” even “what the heck can I get my mother for her birthday?!” And the thing is, unlike other holidays, birthdays come many times a year and often seem to come out of nowhere, making the whole gift finding process even more difficult!
Well, I’m now here to help out the rest of you who are out there googling gifts and coming up with Cheese of the Month Club and Shower Gel. Not that those aren’t fantastic gifts, I’m just going to offer an alternative. Here it is:
Etsy is the perfect place to find a gift for just about anyone. Not that you won’t spend hours searching through various shops, but it won’t be from lack of ideas. Etsy is addictive. But you are sure to find something!
Need a cute gift for a special little girl? Head over to ClackamasCrochetChic’s Etsy Shop and check out her absolutely adorable crocheted hats. How cute is this?
Know someone who loves giraffes as much as I do? Then Betty the Giraffe is perfect! Go to skunkboycreature’s Etsy shop to visit Betty and all of her too-cute creature friends!
I know I always have a hard time shopping for men. But now that I’ve found Etsy, piece of cake! There are a wide variety of excellent handmade gifts for guys, from scarves to cufflinks! And the best part is that there are so many unique items to choose from. Take these steampunk cufflinks from qacreate’s Etsy shop:
And I think you all know where you can go to shop for some thoughtfully designed and handcrafted jewelry. 😉
I could go on and on with the suggestions, but I’ll let you see for yourself! Etsy even has a great tool specifically to help you in your search! The Etsy Gift Guides! On the Gift Guides page you will find a variety of ways to search for that perfect handmade gift. The “Featured” section offers great selections from “Under $20” to “Environmentally Friendly.” You can also search by gift recipient. There are gift guides for him, her, mom, dad, teens, and even coworkers!
In conclusion, Etsy is the perfect place to find the perfect gift. After all, nothing is more thoughtful than handmade (even if you didn’t hand-make it yourself)! So head over to Etsy and start your search!
As for me, I’m off to celebrate! As always, happy shopping!
Love,
Savannah Renée
