Although I haven’t written about Etsy very much, I am a HUGE fan - pretty obsessed, actually. When I was writing my first blog about letterpress, I used Etsy as an almost daily source. Unfortunately, I also feel that there’s almost too much to choose from, and it can be overwhelming. But that can’t stop me - the best part about Etsy is the many unique handmade, totally crafty, often eco-friendly products for everyone in your home.

Trunkt, or “The Buyer’s Guide to Independent Art and Design,” is the best of the best of Etsy, laid out in a simplified, sophisticated way. Categories include Clothing, Accessories, Wellness, Papergoods, and can’t forget the Jewelry (I’ve linked to the kids pages). When you click on an item, you’ll go to the designer’s Etsy page, saving you a lot of time searching. I’m ordering this Volta Air Guitar by fock space for my girls who love to rock out with their uncle! Handmade from vintage fabric, and hello, $20, it may not be like the giganto Hello Kitty guitar my five-year-old has been coveting, but it will probably be played with more than once and won’t hurt when she accidentally drops in on her my her sister’s foot.

As an added bonus, Trunkt is having a $500 holiday “WishList” Shopping Spree now. Create a free WishList, make it public, and put 21 items on it by November 15th, and they’ll choose a random winner on November 16th. Believe me, it will not be difficult to fill your list! And while you’re there, check out my wishlist! You’ll find not so subtle themes of stars, boxes, cuff bracelets, and soft, cuddly things for my girls. I’m thinking of secretly emailing (yeah, right) this to my husband before he goes out and gets Barbies and books for the holidays!
