Awesome Etsy Gift Ideas

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to really start gearing up for Christmas! We are working on decorating our tree and mantel this week. I have been itching to put up our Christmas decorations, but we always wait until after Thanksgiving because we #respectthebird :) 

I just started my holiday shopping this week (got some great deals on cyber Monday!) and still working on crossing off my list. I found some really cute ideas on Etsy recently that I just have to share! There are so many great personalized gift ideas, but these were my favorite and are on the top of my wish list too. 

| O N E | I'm going to need this doormat! I heart Joanna Gaines and pretty much the only person that rings our doorbell these days is the Amazon Prime package delivery man... (*note: this door mat is now shipping after Christmas, but still would make a great gift!)

| T W O | How fun would it be to have this letter board set in your house? It comes with a complete set of white letters so you can change up the message as much as you want! Leave your hubby a funny quote everyday or tell your kids to clean up in a subtle way.

| T H R E E | It's no secret that I'm a sucker for a cute, graphic mug. This one says it all with a pretty font too!

| F O U R | I'm also a sucker for graphic tees and sweatshirts and I love the bluntness of this one! Perfect for that funny (but, slightly whiny) girl in your life! 

| F I V E | If you need a gift idea for that funny guy in your life, this shirt would be perfect! I also love this version that I would wear myself!

| S I X | For that friend or family member that loves the city life, this pillow would be a great gift for their home.

| S E V E N | My friend Jen from Colorado makes these adorable personalized, hand painted peg doll ornaments! What a great gift for a grandparent or family member! She also sells hand painted peg doll nativity sets on her shop (The Polka Dot Peg) as well. I recently received my nativity set and I adore it! It's the perfect set to have out when you have small children. I don't worry about Camden playing with it either, which is so nice! 

I am so excited to display this nativity set every year!

Flowers + Photography

I have found 2 new loves in my life...Flowers and Photography! I wanted to share with you a few photos I took of a pink and white carnation bouquet I created recently. There is something so simple and pretty about a bunch of fluffy carnations...



 

I found these pretties at the grocery store and started arranging them in a vase. I realized how pretty they would be as a bouquet so I gave it a try! I grabbed some pretty pink tulle and tied the stems together and boom! Pretty little pink fluffy carnation bouquet success!

 

I also took some snap shots of my new Etsy shop item using the pretty bouquet as a backdrop.

 

 

 

Who doesn't want a pretty striped straw to drink from on their Bachelorette Party? Now available on my Etsy shop, I have gold/white, pink/white and black/white striped straws flagged with "THE Bachelorette" and "Final Fling".

 

 

I am so excited to announce that I made my first sale last week! I am hoping to add even more Lovely goodness to the shop very soon!

On top of that, her shop is full of wonderful, sparkly, confetti decorated items such as this sparkly hanger that would be a perfect bridesmaid gift, no? Or this adorable little gold polka dot dish that would be a perfect catch all for your jewelry or lip glosses.
