Killer Etsy Shops for Online Holiday Shopping

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SPU chapter.

It’s the holiday season! You know what that means, time to scour the internet for potential presents. In the past I’ve definitely been that person typing in “gifts for sister” or what have you on Amazon. Not this year! I’ve decided to take my search to Etsy, where there are more unique finds and I can directly support small businesses.

Shopping online can be a great way to stay COVID-19 safe, but be sure to get a head start soon in case there are shipping delays

So, without further ado, here are some killer shops I found while digging around on Etsy!

Decor

Botanical Goods & Candles

This shop is so cute!! It is the pure embodiment of a pastel dreamland. They sell candles in all sorts of aesthetically pleasing shapes like bubble cubes, sea shells, lotus flowers, female forms, spiral tapers, and skulls! Are you kidding me?! Adorable.

Fairy Studio Crafts 

This shop is the perfect place to find a gift for your cottage core and fairy friends. There are dainty lamps, flower pillows, woven wall art, and some adorable vases! Some of the items are even 25% off for the holidays. 

Emily Kinsella Art 

Emily’s shop is full of nature-esque artsy gifts. She makes vibrant and exciting art prints, mugs, and holiday ornaments! You can even customize some of the items to make it that much more special. 

Dre Home Crafts

If you’re looking for decor that is more subdued, check out this shop! Dre Home Crafts has a variety of items like abstract body vases, mini sculptures, and candle holders. Everything has a soothing minimal and organic modern feel to it. 

Self Care/Wellness

Unbox Me Gifts

Speaking of soothing, who wouldn’t want a care package as a present? Unbox Me Gifts is one of the larger businesses on this list; they have both custom and premade care package options. These packages come with all sorts of cool stuff like candles, mugs, fuzzy socks, lotion, tea, and more!

Natural Amor

If you’re not sure you want to get a whole care package, you could purchase some stand-alone spa products for your loved ones! This shop has a warm and cozy feel, offering things like bath bombs, essential oils, soaps and lip balm.

Love is my Protest Co

Our wellness would be incomplete without the therapeutic power of writing, so this shop offers different types of journals and planners to help take care of our mental health. You could give a daily wellness journal, a couple’s journal, or a mindset growth journal! This present is thoughtful and unique.

Clothes

Don’t Give a Stitch 20 

This Etsy shop is full of subtle, but really cool merch dedicated to our queen and icon, Taylor Swift. There are really nice quality crewnecks featuring gorgeous dainty designs. This is the perfect gift for your future sister-in-law who is currently in a Red induced rage against Jake Gyllenhaal (you know who you are). 

Bee Color

Bee Color Fashion has the coziest accessories for winter time – these items would make the best stocking stuffers! They sell adorable socks with little foxes, rainbows, and winter scenes in addition to gloves, tote bags, hats, and masks. 

Disco Cowboy CO

As the name implies, this shop is super groovy! There are trendy tote bags, phone cases, sweatshirts, and more that scream gen z meets the 70’s. 

NK Pup 

If you’re like my family and love to dress your pets up, check out this adorable shop’s selection of the CUTEST doggie fits. They have all kinds of sweaters, turtle necks, and flannels in solid colors and the sweetest patterns like stripes, strawberries, reindeer, and daisies. I am for sure getting one for my family’s little demon, opp I mean dog. 

Funny/Gag Gifts

Lay Layu 

Oh jeez, this shop is hilarious. They sell 90’s style gothic tees with modern day celebrities and characters on them. They have tees with Pitbull, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Edward from Twilight. Are you reading this mom, Edward from twilight (hint hint) !?!

Soft Skin Bubbly Sins 

A creative and perfectly put name for a shop selling the absolute weirdest and creepiest bath bombs. There are bath bombs of sharks spewing out blood, Pennywise the Dancing Clown, pickles, and more. Get this to mess with your siblings or roommates. 

Incredible Good 

This shop is based in Portland. Enough said. No, but seriously, this shop has a bunch of random weird stuff like a shirt saying “Born 2 Sh*t, Forced to Wipe”, ” Man I Love Frogs (MILF) merch, and patches featuring phrases like ”Shrexy”. I don’t know about you, but I want everything from this shop. 

With all of this inspiration, how could you not score with all of your gift giving this year?? No matter what kind of presents you want to give out, this list has got you covered.
