Etsy

So I found this website a few months back called www.etsy.com where people sell things handmade. A friend of mine from college sells things that she crochets through this website. Actually, she had sent me one of her handmade items as a baby gift for my daughter. Here's Gracie wearing the hat:



Through this website you can search for things that people have made, or sometimes you can reequest custom-made items. I've been looking on it lately for some baby shower gifts. You're sure to find something unique, so the chances of getting someone something that they already have is near impossible. I found some really cute gift sets of silk-screened onesies and leg warmers at this site through etsy.com -lowlepop.etsy.com , and another gift set at this one: handmadejig.etsy.com

Now, I know that a lot of these things are a little pricey, but, they are handmade and one of a kind. Walmart and Target may have better prices, but I can rest assured that the things aren't made in a sweatshop and the profits are going directly to the makers.

My friend who made the hat, by the way, sells her items at justforbe.etsy.com. I think her items are affordable and very adorable.
