(I was planning on posting this in a few weeks, but then I saw posts today that some people were done with their holiday shopping already :bowdown: )

I plan to buy a bunch stuff from Etsy this holiday season. I'm always looking for new sellers. Who are your favorite Etsy sellers? Here are mine:

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5153811 - she did the cutest custom thank you cards for our girls. They've gotten raves. She was very easy to work with through all of my design changes. I love her alphabet wall poster, I plan to get it when we move into our new house.

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5220077&section_id=5131849 - I had looked all over for infant dolls for our girls that weren't blonde/blue. This seller makes cloth, infant-safe fleece dolls in a variety of skin tones, and you can pick the color outfit for them as well. They came out perfect, and she made them super fast!

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6801490 - I bought custom diaper covers, and they are ADORABLE! And she was very responsive, and had a quick turn around time. She helped me pick out fonts (she has quite a few) and sent me a mock up so I could see what they looked like.

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=103775 - I bought a blankie for my niece, and the seller was very quick. I have to admit, I haven't seen the blanket in person, but I hear it's nice.


I'd love to find new sellers!!!

Not holiday per se, but this seller might have some cute Holiday clothes or clothes you can buy for little ones on your shopping list.

Last year I bought DD's the Pumpkin Jumper off Etsy from this seller, Blue Cuddly Designs. Elisa loved it soo much and it was made really well. She now associates the jumper with Halloween. She wants to wear it again so I am hoping it fits her again this year (it should).

I bought cute little baby minkee slippers here:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5884771
They are soooo soft and fit snug so she can't kick them off!

LOVE these leg warmers (work for babies or older kids)
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5043139
And she has free shipping right now.

Etsy is soooo dangerous for my paypal ;)

Seconding Cotton Candy Boutique, recommended by KarolyP: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5004364 Her things are beautiful, and she's great to work with. I'll probably order something from her for MIL this year. Check out her fabrics if you have a Beco ;)

This seller makes handmade glass beads and cabochons, I ordered one that I'm going to make into a pendant. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6623413&section_id=5837418

I bought some beautiful wooden animals here last year: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=14130139

I have "hearted" many more items and sellers, but don't like to blindly recommend if I haven't actually ordered.

I have to plug my friend's new Etsy shop. Although I can't say I've bought from her shop for Christmas, she's given me one of her necklaces as a Christmas gift, and it's definitely a treasured item (similar to her classic pearl necklace; I wore it for my wedding).

I've been very happy with my purchases from LittleDevilDesigns on Etsy. The girls love their pony, seahorse, and shell pendants, and she was great to work with. :)

MIL loves orchids, so I got her this:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id...ion_id=5542163 (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=97190&section_id=5542163)
she seems to like it!
I like their other products, but a night light seems unique and functional...
and you can put a photo if you want...

I bought a wristlet for myself, then for my sister once I saw she liked mine. the gadget cases look nice,too. looks like you need to order now, lol, as the seller is going on maternity leave:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id...ion_id=6454944 (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=56429&section_id=6454944)

more wristlets (bought one for myself)
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id...ion_id=5274030 (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=78675&section_id=5274030)

here's some 'reasonable' jewelry (I would consider this for sister, mother, etc)
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5433742

I bought these for each sister (2 sisters) & my mother- car litter bag (you can find other ones by other sellers, but she's the pioneer, lol):
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=21416

for my niece: cute, handmade backpack- you can even order a custom (until Dec 1)!
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=40198

I love giving key-fob wristlets to co-workers, kids' teachers, etc, AND I happen to love the fabric button pony tail holders (for myself! I may give some to teachers, etc this year)-I have bought from here:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5141599

Bought a personalized cape for DS a couple of years ago, and I was (and am) very pleased by it.

Bought from seller Hanami an orchid pendant for a gift. I am drooling for something for myself, but it is a little more than I am willing to spend currently.

And, of course, my photo necklace from Missy's DH (sorry, can't remember the link). IIRC, it was dancing otter or similar?

I just bought two kid mugs (butterfly & pickup truck) from this seller today:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/MoorefieldPottery

I haven't purchased from her before, but her feedback is good. I'll be sure to post back after I receive my order.

I've also ordered baby jewelry from http://hyenacart.com/pinklemonade/ (she has an etsy shop, but no jewelry at etsy right now) - she's wonderful. :)

I have purchased vinyl wall art from http://www.etsy.com/shop/mytreehousetreasures and I am very happy with her.
This tree is wonderful....for sure going on the wall when the playroom is painted http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=33478710

Everyday clippies is great, too.

I just order custom party favors from this seller http://www.etsy.com/shop/BrookeFRECKLES?section_id=5726174

She created favors that match the party theme and packaged them for a great price.

She also has adorable children's clothing. I haven't purchased any of it though.

Just posting back that my order came yesterday and the mugs are adorable. DH didn't know they were coming and liked them too. The glazing is perfect and they seem really well made and sturdy (though I wouldn't let kids use them unsupervised, simply because broken pottery is sharp!). No communication or shipping notification from the seller, but she shipped immediately (11/6) and everything was well packaged. No delivery confirmation on the package, which is unusual IME. I wouldn't hesitate to order from her again!

For boys, mine still love their capes from superflykidz. A personalized bath towel is great (we use ours constantly), perhaps with a football, baseball or even a few balls embroidered with his name. I think that Corie has a bath towel seller that she likes (see previous etsy threads). Personalized robe? Sleep pants with a personalized t-shirt? No suggestions for sellers for those items, but I bet you could find someone by doing a search.

and I haven't bought from here, but how about a boy's batik shirt? I have this site as a favorite

I do! I've bought several personalized hooded bath towels from her.

This link shows my last order. It was for a set of twins, boy & girl. :)
