I just wanted to say that I love Etsy. I have been able to find several Christmas gifts there that I think won't just be unique, but actually appreciated. And I'd much rather spend money here than at a BestBuy, Target, J. Crew, etc., etc., etc..My first time to this eBay of arts-and-crafts was not to holiday shop, however. This past summer I was over at my pal Vickie's gushing over some of her artwork and she pointed me to Etsy. Then I found some really great prints including these four by Melissa Moss: From the top left, clockwise: the arrival, I cant breathe, ipo and fruitful. This picture doesn't do them any justice; check out the links.
In terms of holidays/birthdays/whatever, they have some pretty good gift guides, too. And even if you don't really have anything you're looking to consume just yet, it's worth having a look around. I've been inspired by a lot of the handiwork -- I'm constantly amazed at what cool things people create. I'm really glad to see a site where, while they may ostensibly be hawking wares, folks are also sharing ideas. Sometimes they're nerdy ideas (but aWeSomE!), sometimes they're funny and cute and undead ideas (say what?!), and sometimes they're clever. And sometimes they're even neckties.
