Warm and Fuzzy
Holiday shopping can become overwhelming and stressful. There are a lot of options out there, and as it usually happens the exact items I want seem to become unavailable. I do admit I am a last minute shopper, maybe I find a thrill in the hunt for a perfect present. This is when I know I need to take a breather and stop to realize that the point of purchasing handmade items is more important than ever. In today’s world of consumerism the big brand companies have their customer, but what about those that work hard to bring you quality work that is also good for you and the planet. Have you checked out Etsy lately? Supporting your local (meaning made in the USA) designers and craft makers is more important than ever, especially during the holiday season. Your loved ones will know they are truly receving a gift made with love and care. Talk about exclusive, as a lot of items on Etsy are custom made or one of a kind.
