Think Etsy for Christmas!

Well, it's that time of year again! Pomegranates are in the grocery stores (sorry, I'm hungry:D), and people are getting their Christmas music out! One of my absolute favorite websites to browse around is Etsy. Of course, I do have an Etsy site with jewelry that I sell and there is a link to that on the side of the page... BUT this post is to share some unique gift ideas I found from other shops while browsing! If you've never visited Etsy I really recommend doing it and browsing around for yourself. You really can find some treasures!

For the one who loves drinking tea:
Herbal Tea Kit with DIY Teabags and Recipes
Owl Tea Bag Holders
Watermelon Peach Mango Tea

For lovers of yummy smells:
Tropical Soy Candles
Wood Incense Burner Holders
Aromatherapy Travel Size Scrubs
Elf Sweat Perfume Stix

For the chocolate lover:
Chocolate Petals Exfoliating Lip Butter
Chocolate Espresso Cake Truffles
Half Pound of Peppermint Bark

For the Accessory Lover:
Cashmere Flower Wrist Warmers
Spaghetti Scarf
Leather Rose Flower Wrap
Asymmetrical Teal Dangle Earrings
Antique Gold Pendant Necklace

For now that's all... but I really love browsing Etsy, so there may be a couple more posts like this before Christmas! Have a wonderful and blessed day:)

Cargoh: A new Etsy?

While browsing through the Etsy forums tonight I came across an interesting thread discussing http://www.cargoh.com People were talking about this being the next Etsy and how they thought it would do well, so I decided to take a look! Once I got there I fell in love with the site! It has the same idea as Etsy, in that it's a place for artists and handcrafters to sell their wares. I love the way they have their categories set up, and it has a more modern feel than Etsy which seems like it fits me better. On a whim I decided to make a shop there and then I was amazed at the options they have! I won't get into an intense comparison because that would be boring! But let's just say that Cargoh offers A LOT more options to evaluate my store and my sales. So, fellow Etsians... I encourage you to check it out! Fellow online shoppers, I also encourage you to check it out! It's amazing to see some of the things people make, and how creative the human brain can be!
