What do you buy on etsy?

[onetruething]

I hear people using etsy all the time, and I love the idea of supporting peoples' side hustles/small businesses.  I just never think to look there for things.So tell me, what do you buy (or sell) on etsy?

[TR]

I've gotten personalized and other unique jewelry and wall art. That might be it. It's the first place I check for personalized gifts.

[hymen]

Jewelery, shirts, art work. Usually more personalized gifts. My nieces are big into Broadway and musicals so I usually find some stuff for them there. Same with Disney related things for my SIL.

[Deleted]

Invitations, print outs, got dinosaur-shaped soap once for birthday party favors. Any time I'm looking for something just a bit more unique than what is in stores/Amazon. Have been lucky with good service every time.

[wambam]

In the past year, I bought a hand-lettered print (with Dashboard lyrics, of course), personalized jewelry and a t-shirt that says "Sad songs make me feel better"

[fivechickens]

Jewelry (earrings mostly), decor for my girls rooms, some shirts for them, and phone cases.

I have always had good experiences with them.

[dottyblue]

I love this shop for infant/toddler toys. My boys love their hand kites: www.etsy.com/shop/IndieBambinoToys

Other than that, I have bought jewelry, small gifts and wall art.

Shops I have used and would recommend:
www.etsy.com/shop/PoleStar
www.etsy.com/shop/Colorwin
www.etsy.com/shop/ColorWatercolor

I like browsing from the main page for ideas. The editors picks usually give me some good ideas for gifts; candles, cool hair accessories for my mom...

[litebright]

Cute kids shirts and winter hats, accessories/pieces for Halloween costumes, jewelry, party favors, gifts (art or artsy kitchen stuff). Occasionally something downloadable, like a calendar or organizer format or a coloring page. Etsy is often where I look for year-specific anniversary gifts for DH, too.

My DH is looking at ordering us a custom table that would come in pieces and he'd assemble.

[isabel]

I've purchased several things, mainly art prints/photos. I have a few pillow covers and just bought a changing pad cover and boppy cover because apparently nobody makes solid red covers for those things. I also want to get a return address stamp and will probably buy it there.

We get our dog a new collar every Christmas and I usually buy it there.

[candreco]

Some jewelry, return address and "from the library of" stanmps, prints and art (especially if I'm looking for something in particular), baby books for both kids (that are still basically empty), a few random gifts here and there.

[BaliHai]

Things I've bought recently: headbands/bows for DDs; baby moccasins; wall art; wall-mounted jewelry organizer; custom doll for DD1; Easter basket and personalized liners for DDs; charcoal facial soap; dresser knobs; closet dividers; swaddle blanket for DD2; self-inking address stamp; Christmas card and ornaments for my BFF; phone case; earrings; locket; nail polish.

So basically everything, ha.

[cabbagecabbage]

So far everything has been for my kids: booties, suck pads for my baby carrier, birthday party invitations.

I window shop for leather bags, jewelry, and vintage stuff. There's a lot of good and even more bad stuff.

[followyourarrow]

A lot of gifts, especially personalized ones.
Tons of things for my planner, washi and stickers.

[jellymankelly]

Lots and lots of craft supplies. Purse frames, fabric, sewing patterns, digital files for embroidery, etc.

[lobster]

I've bought Jewelry, art prints, Disney t-shirts for our vacation last year, Christmas ornaments, and hair clips. Earlier this week, I ordered a headband kit for my SIL's baby shower.

I also don't think to shop there often. It's kind of an afterthought if I don't find what I'm looking for elsewhere.

[mekia]

Mostly birthday items.

[cereal K]

I sell on Etsy - embroidered/monogrammed clothes, accessories, and home stuff.

So I buy a lot of embroidery files and designs. I've also bought jewelry, printables, kids shirts, and gifts. My most recent gift purchase was a vintage deviled egg plate for my mom.

[cuccaro]

I love Etsy! Looking through my purchases it's a pretty random assortment-- invitations, vintage copper pot, fairy wings for Halloween, Christmas ornaments, vintage rug, German glass glitter, self-inking address stamp, waterproof sippy-cup labels, handmade baby clothes, party décor, crib bedding, art, vintage chandelier, and a crystal wedding dress sash.

I'm currently searching for a children's tea set and a kitchen towel to have my MIL's empanada recipe printed on as a gift.

[thebreakfastclub]

Honestly, nothing. I don't have any need or interest in jewelry, art, giftables, etc.

[Captain Catnip]

I've bought a ring made from a coin, handmade wooden beer stein, hair thing for My wedding a million years ago, a hand blown glass pipe shaped like a snail (FOR TOBACCO USE ONLY,) yarn... Probably more stuff over the years.

[eb777888]

I just bought six watercolors for my living room! Shipping today, actually (the shop is ColorWaterColor). Before that, only jewelry but a lot of it. Linkel Designs is my favorite Etsy shop.

[Aloe Vera]

I've bought wall art from a painter.

[eb777888]

Oh, and some homemade lotions that came  two months late, lol.
