Etsy
Etsy is a great place to find clothes, accessories, stuff for your house and gifts. If you haven’t been there, I highly recommend that you visit and check out some of their categories.
This is a wonderful forum for independent artists and crafters to share their gifts with the world.
Check out the items by 2ReVert. Awesome jewelery made out of recycled skateboards!
Or the beautiful hand-knit items from EterKnity.
OR…this boss vinyl octopus graphic for your toilet from Vital Industries!
That’s the cool thing about Etsy. Not only are you supporting independent artists, but you are going to find things you can’t find at Wal-Mart. Plus a lot of the products are made with organics, recyclables, and other eco-friendly materials.
