So it's December 22 today and if you're like someone I know (heh-hem...
honeykins...) you're leaving it to the last minute to buy Christmas gifts, but don't despair! Here are three things via
Etsy you can do to get your gift in time!
Shop Local
We've all heard it before -
shop local! Well you can do that on Etsy too! Most times when it comes to shopping on Etsy it's best to order things about a month in advance so that artists can create your item and ship it so you get it in time. However if you search using the local function in the bottom lefthand corner of the page (
after you enter your item search on the main page), you can potentially find something in your town or city that's already made. Artists may be open to a pick-up rather than having your item delivered through the mail. Try it!
Print it
There are
tons of vendors on Etsy who offer instant download for things like posters, gift cards and other crafty items. I've used this before for the kids' birthdays with
birthday bunting and
cupcake toppers. You can either print your item at home or send it off to print at your local print shop. Print your poster, buy a frame and voila! You have a sweet gift to give your loved one.
Gift card it
Finally, Etsy offers
gift cards of course which are super easy to use. Just click, pay, print and give!
So there you have it! A last minute Etsy gift guide. Happy Holidays!
