Etsy Love: Holiday Gift Guide

 I don't know about y'all, but I've been spending ALOT of time perusing Etsy doing some early Christmas shopping.  I'm thankful I started early this year because many of these fantastic Etsy shops are already on a 3-4 week wait!  I figured I better get an Etsy Love post out to you all asap.

 So here it is folks, Etsy Love:  Holiday Gift Guide edition!

The Shabby Peach

**Offering 25% off to my readers, use code Shabby25 at checkout**
(Anna's shop is on temporary leave, however plug your email in to receive an update as soon as she reopens her shop)

 

I'm featuring The Shabby Peach's adorable bubble rompers.
I mean, hello, they had me at bubble rompers....

 

I wanted her to get as much use out of it this summer, so we went with an 18 month versus 12.  If you're little one has some extra cushion to love, size up.  The quality is par none!! It held up phenomenal in the wash as it's made out of a nice, thick 100% cotton.  I'm telling y'all, you have to grab one of these for the little in your life!! Perfect Christmas present for your cutie to wear next spring & summer.  Sidenote, if you're not into the bubble romper thing, she has a fantastic selection full of adorableness.

 So head on over to her shop, stock up on those holiday gifts & use the code Shabby25 at checkout. 

 Your welcome.

Now, heading in an entirely different direction. Headbands.


I don't know about you, but when I gear up to hit the gym for a nice run, I LOVE throwing on a fun headband! I'm also super particular about the bands I wear.  they have to be comfortable, first and foremost, as well as have the capability to soak up the sweat.  These are super unique as they are made of a lightweight spandex material that is extremely absorbent! When you get home from the gym, you simply wash out in your sink and lay out to dry.  Michelle has a great eye for  spunky, one of a kind designs and has a TON of fantastic options to choose from. She's also sweet as pie.
She has donated a headband for me to give away to my readers!


Enter below by leaving a comment as to what keeps you motivated to GYM UP throughout the week!
Winner will be selected on Monday, November 30th.

Hippie Runner Headbands

**All headbands are BOGO right now!**
 

Keeping with the headband theme, Hippie Runner speaks my love language with her designs.

She had me at...."Will Run for Wine."

 

 

 

 

 

Her bands are ALL 4" spandex and can be folded over for different looks.  What sets Hippie Runner's apart from the rest are her 'push the boundary' slogans which truly make each and ever band one of a kind.  If you've been trying to come up with a one of a kind gift for your active loved one, search no more.  These bands are amazing!!

Etsy Love: March Edition

I just

CAN'T

EVEN

handle the cuteness of this Easter basket.

 

Etsy has done it again.

 

 

When it came time to start thinking about Lara's first Easter basket, I knew exactly where to go.

 

 ETSY.

 

For the record, there are a gazillion shops featuring the most adorable Easter baskets you could ever dream of!  I had almost made up my mind and then I saw this one....

 

 

This basket can be purchased from a shop called Eugenie2. 

Click here for a direct link.

In comparison to several others I loved, this basket is one of the most affordable at only $17.95.

 

Eugenie was extremely easy to work with and unlike some other embroidery shops, the font selection & thread color selection is very straight forward.  I had my basket within 7 days of purchase!!

 

 

 

 

For me, this basket was love at first sight. 

Hopefully when Lara gets a little older, she'll love it as much as I do.

 

It's made from heavy quality polyester felt, I mean heavy quality.

I was a bit concerned about durability so I have to say, I'm very impressed.  

It holds it's shape very well!

  It even folds down for easy storage.

 

 

Until Easter rolls around, I may or may not be using it for decoration.

 

 

If you haven't picked up an Easter basket for the little in your life, click here to order this cutie!

{And yes, they make it in blue}

 

 

Etsy Love: February Edition

It's time for another Etsy love sesh! 

What is it about monograms that make us all swoon?!?!  There's just something about seeing your new babies name embroidered on a tiny little onesie that just makes our hearts swell with pride. Am I right or am I right?

As I've mentioned before, my best friend is having her first baby in April. Last weekend I threw her baby shower (pictures to come!!). I just knew I had to find her the perfect monogrammed gift for her sweet little boy. 

It's no surprise I took immediately to Etsy to find the perfect gift! I was lucky to meet Angela from 3DoodleBugsEM!! 

She has the most adorable and high quality baby items available that can be embroidered with whatever your heart desires! I saw the matching gown and blanket set and just had to have it for Baby Landry. I was able to pick the thread color, the font, you name it. 

The best part, it was in my mailbox a few short days later! Angela was fantastic to work with & super responsive with all my questions.

I couldn't wait to see Jenny open it..

But most of all, I can't wait to see it on little Landry in 6 short weeks!!!!!

If ya'll are in need of adorble, monogrammed outfits for your little ones, head over to her shop!! I'm pretty sure the adorble, baby ruffle tee is calling my name!

Etsy Love: January Edition

As I mentioned in last month's "Etsy Love" post, I pretty much adore all the amazing shop owners who work hard everyday to make all the fan-damn-tastic homemade products we all have grown to love.  There are so many shops that are just too damn cool not to talk about, which was how my monthly "Etsy Love" posts were born. 

 

Here we are, month two.

 

 

For those who don't know, my beautiful mother works for Hallmark, hence my love for old school greeting cards.  She has sent me cards for just about everything that happens in life, one of the many things I love about that lady.  When I discovered all the hilarious greeting cards on Etsy a year or so ago, I've been in greeting card heaven ever since.  

 

Because of all the super creative, amazingly witty shop owners who come out with the most hilarious cards, I figured they deserve a post all on their own.  In light of my FAVORITE holiday that is just right around the corner, I bring to you my Valentine faves!
