Ok, ok… christmas is still more than a month away, but don’t you hate the feeling when you have to rush with finding the right christmas gifts because there isn’t enough time? Instead, how about buying your gifts early so that you can fully enjoy christmas time!
My habits of buying gifts have changed a lot. Since I want to cut down my consumption, I have the rule to only buy things that are useful (to the person I’m gifting) and to pay attention on how eco friendly the gifts are. Etsy is a great place to find gifts that match these criteria. Also, buying on Etsy means supporting small businesses!
Of course I also love self-made gifts for christmas, they are maybe the best ones of all. Therefor I will dedicate a whole blog post on self-made gifts soon, so look out for it.
Here is a little list with 10 great things that I found on Etsy. Maybe they are also an inspiration for your christmas gift search!
1. Planner for 2014 made from recycled paper, by REDSTARink. Simple and beautiful.

Great Gift For Dad
May 2, 2014 at 6:19 amHi From Texas The gift ideas in this list are sweet, and I can really see a lot of creative juice
was used in this story. It was good and guess what?
I think I found my cousins gift. My boy is hard to buy for because his choices
is a tad distinctive, but there are one or two prodcuts here that that
he\’ll really be grateful for. So great work!. This list was incredibly helpful as my boy has
it all lol. By the way it would be great if a newer edition of this list posted!
I\’d be something i\’d share. so many kudos
