Gift Guide » Top Ten Found @ Etsy
1Papaver Verte Nesting Bowls$115
This trio of crocheted wool/mohair felted nesting bowls has all the subtle details of great craftsmanship. I just love the Papaver Vert label sewn on the rim of the littlest one! These are made to order (allow 1 week for production before shipping) so if you want a set in time for the holidays, best snag one now! The bowls come packed in a lovely little round cork-ish box with matching stitching around the rim! Scrumptious!Get it here!
2Nikta’s 7 Loop Scarf / Necklace$110
Wowza! Seven scarves in one? A color bonanza? What more could go right? The seven scarves (brown taupe, jeans blue, yellow, cream, green, coral, and purple) from Nitka’s shop are not attached so you can wear the shebang or deconstruct for more, um, subtle dress codes. It gets better: the serpentine scarves are knit using soft, cotton yarn so no itchy side-effects and easy to launder! Win-win.Get it here!
3Berkley Illustration’s Jackrabbit Print$10
Of course jackrabbits wear 3-piece suits! Head over to Berkley Illustration’s Etsy shop for the whole circus of finely-dressed critters. Choose from a very military tiger, an old-school meerkat pilot, lady rabbit all dolled up for tea, a wild west t-rex, and a rather depressed business Elephant – just to name a few. The prints are available in 5″ x 7″ ($10) or 8″ x 10″ ($18) – a perfect little gift framed or unframed!Get it here!
4Pretty Random Objects$55
I’ve been drooling over Pretty Random Objects’ collection of ceramics for years now and finally have the chance to share the cuteness! Their online shop is constantly being updated, so if you like what you see, best snag it before it’s gone. Pastel hues and adorable bunny, bear, and bird characters are the norm in this collection of vases, ornaments, planters, and more!Get it here!
5Monkeys Always Look Baby Toes Hanging Succulent$75
Ever since YZ’s & my wedding earlier this month (for which my brother and I planted the most beautiful succulent centerpieces) I’ve been obsessed with this odd family of plants. Monkeys Always Look’s hanging Baby Toes succulent terrariums would be a welcome addition to our plant-filled house. For just $34, this lovely piece would be great for a well-deserving neighbor… Hurry, just 6 in stock!Get it here!
6KnitKnit’s Knitted Power Cord$44
You always need one of these at the most unlikely times. So, meanwhile, you might as well don the little orange power chord as scarf or belt or tie. Now, I can’t guarantee the actual utility of this knitted necessity, but this 6-foot chord has so many other uses, no? I think it’s ridonkulously cute and, for $40, the good type of gift for the free-spirited artist that needs nothing. Head over to KnitKnit’s Etsy store for more colors and styles!Get it here!
7Jolby’s “What Makes William” Nesting Dolls$350
There’s nothing quite like receiving an original art piece as a gift. The preciousness of it always makes me giddy. Mix that joy with one of my favorite folk objects (nesting matryoshka dolls) and you’ve got yourself an uber-gift. This quintet from Jolby’s Etsy shop is called “What Makes William” for some very anatomical reasons: “Each doll represents a different piece of William. Orange: Large doll of William. Blue: Water for his birthplace of Seaside mixed with music notes. Green: Leaves for his destination of Treetop Village. Purple: Creepy vines from the Outskirts. Yellow: William’s soul.” Love it.Get it here!
8Alyssa Ettinger Mason Jar Lantern$39
As I mentioned, I have a weak spot for jars, of which perhaps my favorite is the mason. Gin and juice in the summer, hot toddy in the winter, jam pot when mom comes to visit. Alyssa Ettinger’s hand-cast porcelain mason jar lanterns capture the nostalgia that the glass vessels carry. For use indoors or out with a nifty wire handle for hanging. Check out Alyssa’s shop for other ephemeral porcelain goods!Get it here!
9Spell It Out Designs’ Chalkboard Decals$21
So, vinyl wall stickers have been all the rage for a while now but never have I seen a vinyl sticker chalkboard! How smart! What’s more, these elegant Victorian frame-inspired shapes lifts the grade-school tool to a whole new level of chic! There are just gobs of styles and sizes to choose from at Spell It Out Design with a few whiteboard models as well. Digging the decor in the product snaps!Get it here!
10Cicada Studio’s Chamomile and Lavender Sachet 4-Pack$18
Who doesn’t like smelling good? Tell me?! WHO!? This perfect stocking stuffer from Cicada Studio will be sure to make tees, undies, and the like smelling of a spring meadow full of lavender and chamomile. “They measure around 2 3/4″ x 5″ and will tuck neatly into drawers, a purse, in a bowl… I have a friend who keeps them on her desk at work for a little whiff of aromatherapy during the day.”Get it here!
