Your Christmas picks from Etsy: Custom-made is the new sexy
From journals to passport covers to handbags, here’s a low-down on some of the coolest gifts that you can give to your loved ones this holiday season.
‘Tis the season to be jolly! Christmas cheer is in the air, hot chocolate is back in demand (and how!) and people have already started their personal countdowns (yes, you can admit it, nobody will judge you) towards 2019. And the only (slight) damper on the universal happy-go-lucky mood is that checklist that is reminding you to buy Christmas gifts for your near and dear ones.
The good thing is, if you are reading this right now, you are not one of the procrastinators who will have to scramble mid-December trying to make the best of a bad situation (Pssst!! Even if you do tend to leave things for last minute, take this as motivation for avoiding it this year round). Since there is time, why not go for something special for the most cherished people in your life? Something customized, not just for their needs, but also according to their personalities and quirks?
And trust us, nobody does customised better than the people on Etsy! In case you are late to the party, here’s a quick low-down on Etsy. Etsy is a global marketplace for unique and creative goods. It’s home to a universe of special, extraordinary items, from unique handcrafted pieces to vintage treasures. If you can dream it up, it’s probably on Etsy.
So, here’s a glimpse on all the cool stuff you’ll find there (and gifting ideas for the clueless).
