Best Etsy Finds: Gift Ideas and Items for Your Home
I adore looking at products for sale on Etsy, but I rarely buy anything. This is because my preference is for buying secondhand at thrift stores. I love the thrill of the hunt and getting a good deal. However, I have occasionally turned to Etsy for things I wouldn’t have been able to find thrifting or that I couldn’t make on my own. In this post I’ll explore a few of my best Etsy finds.
Etsy is a great place to purchase unique handmade items or curated vintage finds. It’s also great to know that your purchase is supporting a small business over a large corporation. When I find a good seller on Etsy, I try to remain loyal to them. I love being able to show my support.
Best Etsy Finds: Check Out These Unique Items
This list of items that I’ve found on Etsy isn’t the longest, but each purchase has been so special. I would highly recommend these products and sellers if you are looking for the best Etsy gift ideas – or even to purchase something special for yourself.
Instagram Photo Magnets
These cute square shaped magnets are intended to let you print your Instagram photos. I first purchased them as gifts for my wedding party, but I continued to purchase them to use on my own refrigerator. I don’t have a ton of space in my living area and kitchen for family photos, so putting them on the fridge with these cute magnets is a great solution! I have photos of my husband and I getting married, us as a couple, and lots of photos of my daughter. I plan to continue adding to this collection over the years – until I run out of space!
The seller shipped these out in a timely manner and we had great communication. I highly recommend these if you’re looking for a sweet gift idea or for yourself.
Turkish Boho Pillows
I can’t say enough about these gorgeous pillows! I usually make my own pillows, but I was having trouble finding a fabric that had the right vibe. I also wanted something unique – I don’t like my décor to look like anyone else’s. Upon scouring Etsy, I stumbled across this Turkish shop that sells a wide variety of bohemian style pillows and rugs. I fell in love with these! They had such a unique pattern and were very affordable compared to buying fabric and making them myself.
I mixed and matched three different colors to bring vibrancy to my living room couch. They truly pull the entire room together! I adore them so much that I don’t even bother to swap out my pillows seasonally. To get a closer look at these gorgeous pillows, check out my maximalist living room tour.
Custom Bible Verse Handwriting Canvas
My grandmother passed away a few years ago. As a gift for my mom, we found this seller that takes your loved one’s handwritten notes and turns them into a work of art. My mom loved this gift and keeps it on display in her home. I have kept this seller in mind in case I ever want to create another keepsake like this one. My sisters and I were so pleased with the purchase!

Hot Pink Brocade Fabric
I used to purchase this hot pink brocade a Joann Fabrics, but they stopped carrying this color. Fortunately, I was able to find it on Etsy. If you enjoy sewing, be sure to check out Etsy for unique fabrics for your projects. You can find so much more variety than you would find at a fabric store!
Stained Glass Artwork
This was another gift for my mom! Her powder room is styled with lots of cobalt blue porcelain pieces, and this stained glass art was the perfect addition to hang in her window. It’s sturdy and beautiful, and the seller was a delight. I highly recommend them!
Printable Nursery Jungle Images
Etsy has a wide variety of printable images that you can purchase inexpensively. Then, you can go have them printed professionally and hang them in your home. For my daughter Alexa’s nursery, we purchased these sweet jungle-themed prints and had them printed on unmounted canvas. I then used rubber cement to attach them to thin pieces of hardboard that were cut to size. I popped them in some vintage frames for a pretty vignette in her room. This seller even gave me a bonus print for free!
Brass Asian Fan
Another great thing that you can find on Etsy are antique and vintage pieces. I was on the hunt for a brass fan because I love the look of them. I couldn’t find one in a thrift store, so I ended up finding this piece on Etsy and purchasing it. I had a great experience with this seller and would recommend him. There are so many great vintage seller on Etsy, and you can probably find exactly the piece you’re looking for if you browse the site!
