Etsy and the Thank You Gift

~ MaryG

How do you express your gratitude?

Usually saying “thank you” with sincerity is enough. Sending a handwritten note is always a good idea too.

In recent years, I’ve discovered some lovely options for personalized gifts on Etsy. My daughter first introduced me to it.

I got some cool monogrammed money clips for my son and my nephews, which they seem to love. I’ve purchased monogrammed leather luggage tags and I got my son a personalized leather tray for graduation, with his school’s seal. I ordered this necklace for a Cat Lady in my life.

Most recently, I ordered these all-natural handmade soaps with essential oils from a Canadian artisan on Etsy. I liked the soft, natural colors and the real wildflowers on the top of each bar. I used them as favors for people who attended my daughter’s baby shower. They were a hit. Guests enjoyed smelling all four varieties, then choosing their favorite. The personalized labels are a nice touch. (The back side of the label lists all the ingredients in each soap.)

My thoughtful daughter gave me this pretty blue crystal necklace with personalized packaging at the end of the party last weekend. It definitely made me feel appreciated. I’m wearing it today!

  2. I think Etsy is really cool. I’m always in awe of people who can create. I enjoy looking at the artwork and have bought a few.

    The soaps and oils look great. What a nice part favor for the baby shower. The personalized labels were the perfect touch.

    1. I agree, the personalized packaging is so nice! Just need to remember to order these types of gifts with enough lead time to get them made and shipped. I also like that individual artists and artisans can grow businesses on Etsy.
