Searching for Etsy gifts can be a little overwhelming: you know, hand-carved wooden spoons, dimmed linen towels and sand-colored steel ceramic cups lurking somewhere. But you can also end up with a full bridesmaid gift search page with this curly script “live love, laughter” adorned with them.
When it comes to shopping for groceries online, the site is intended for seekers of rough diamonds. Sports shoppers. My friends, it is a challenge I can take on. Fifteen years of savings, basically in person, but now also online, thanks to virtual real estate sales, auction houses and clothing resale sites, has led me to what I can only describe as a list of ‘ Obsessive length Etsy favorites. In honor of the holiday season, I scanned the list for some of my favorite ceramics, then added a handful of new kitchen tools, home accessories, and bedding. The result: 26 Etsy gifts everyone would have a chance to receive.
I have long resorted to the site for its plettive of comfortable sheets, wrinkled enough: there are many suppliers who sell directly from their fabric workshops in Eastern Europe, amid the linen trade. Recently, I looked around and discovered other types of kitchen textiles, such as waxed canvas tablecloths, that will face some other outdoor dinner season (and constant cleaning with an Array disinfectant . . ) and bread bags, which are wonderful gifts for this friend who won by sending you drinks of his levain trend crumb.
Handmade spoons, bowls, under the countertop: all the kitchen utensils that can be carved into wood, place them here. But from time to time, you can also locate the right homemade sandstone (and genuine stone, as in the case of mortar and hand down).
Beeswax candles, hand-woven baskets and all kinds of plant accessories for the obsessive monstera of your life: Etsy has them all. If someone you love is a common traveler, think of a gift you can regularly buy for your adventures, such as a Rwandan basket or Malian pillow.
There’s more to the place than homemade ceramic cups, but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be overlooked. If you’re looking for an exclusive cup, there’s no better position than Etsy (especially if you like this minimalist, mottled and beyond cups, Etsy also offers perfect dishes: pasta bowls, which I love for everything from salad to braised chicken, are the most sensitive on my list.
