for the women on my list. Things like scarves, mittens, hats, cute soaps...you get the picture. I've found a few neat things:

...but am looking for more that are similar...such as the cupcake soap seller that is now sold out and on vacation after being featured :( The search function is overwhelming! And that is from someone that is *trained* to search. If you have any recs, I'd love it if you could share. Also, if you have any links to cool t-shirts (for the nephew) that'd be great too. TIA :)

what is your price range? have you searched thru the other recent etsy threads? i recently bought these, that would be appropriate for women:

This is great - and it's in Canada!

Basically I'm looking for non-jewelry items that are under $50 or so. I've already marked tons of great jewelry from previous threads :) thanks to everyone here, and I am especially on the lookout for something for my SIL who doesn't wear jewelry, makeup, read much or cook! (not that those are bad things, they just makes present-buying a little harder). Winter accessories are always good given our climate, but the lunchbag idea is awesome - thanks Lori!

I love the fabric options that she offers for the lunch bags! I was considering it as we need a bigger cooler bag for toting bottles and breastmilk when we go out.

I looked at scarfs on etsy for you, but as a crocheter (and my mom knits), I'm pretty picky, and I admit that I'm a yarn snob. This looks nice, and alpaca is soooo soft:

A friend of mine owns this shop. I have given her note cards as gifts many times. She is really talented and the photos do not do her cards justice:

I don't have personal experiences with all of these sellers but here are a few things I have in my favorites for gifts (or for me :loveeyes:).

Little clutches and wristlets:

Ooooh - guys, those are all great ideas! Thanks so much :) I am, of course, now tempted to buy some of these for myself ;) (my usual problem with Etsy), but I should be able to get the shopping finished up now.

This is a friend of mine's etsy page. She is even having a 30% off sale. Her stuff is beautiful.
