 Have you ordered items from Etsy in the past? What are you most likely to order if you win the gift card?

Check out these unique gift ideas under $25

 What is Etsy.com?

"...a new kind of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems".

 Etsy.com is an online marketplace where people can connect to buy and sell handmade and vintage items, art and craft supplies, and more. It is a great way to support local artisans while purchasing unique, quality items. You can often work with the seller to customize your orders. My biggest Etsy purchase was my wedding bouquets and boutonnieres:


Bridal Bouquet

Why should I support local small businesses?


When you buy products from small, reputable companies, you are helping to support entrepreneurship and product diversity. By supporting the people who run the companies, you are playing a part in keeping their business running. Read consumer reviews of the vendor's products to make an informed purchasing decision, and further support the small business by going back and posting a review once you have received and tested the product.

What else can you order from Etsy vendors?
  • Vintage and handcrafted jewelry
  • Clothing and accessories
  • Art and home decor
  • Toys and baby care items
  • Homemade soaps
  • Gifts, and more....

 How to enter to win:
  1. Visit Etsy.com if you haven't already, then leave a comment on this post - what type of item(s) are you most likely to order if you win the gift card?
  2. Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter the giveaway. You must complete the first two entries to unlock the remaining entries.
(If you have already completed any of the tasks, such as answering the poll or liking my fan page, you obviously won't be able to do it again, and can simply consider it a free entry.)

 Terms: By entering the giveaway, you certify that you are at least 16 years of age and have a valid email address. 

The giveaway will end at Midnight (Central Time) on Monday, December 23, 2013. The winner will be announced within 48 hours and will be contacted via email.

**Disclosure: I have not received any compensation from Etsy.com, and I am personally hosting this giveaway as a way to gain exposure. All opinions are my own.
