i bought my wedding invites on etsy. and browse occasionally, but haven't purchased anything since!
-
As C has gotten older I am starting to turn to etsy more for things like invitations, valentines cards, and now his halloween costume. Prior to that it wasn't very frequent and even now it isn't all that frequent.
-
Not a lot...there is too much crap to sort through! I love recommendations!
-
I browse but rarely buy anything... I use it primarily to get ideas & then I DIY whatever it is myself, for cheaper!
-
Not really but I will check it out when I'm stumped for an idea. I usually head there for new born gifts though.
-
I occasionally get gifts from there, and I always order at least one thing, but usually more, when I throw parties. I actually just ordered an address stamp off etsy from a bee here! I love etsy!
-
If I need a unique gift. Been buying headbands for R lately. I just bought this onesie for her to wear on Father's Day to surprise DH.
-
I bought the decals for LO's nursery there and that was my first thing..i've been browsing all day looking for watercolors for the room
I hate that the vendors get to price their stuff though, because some people think their time is worth waaayyy more than it is. Like, no, sorry i'm not paying $115 for a 5x7 watercolor.

@Smurfette: SO cute! I got a gender neutral tshirt from Zulily that saids "who needs a superhero when you have daddy".
-
I bought my monthly stickers for LO and use it to browse for ideas more than anythin.g
-
@MrsTiz: yea, part of the reason I stopped with Etsy so much is as it's got popular pricing has gotten ridiculous!
-
Sometimes. I got DD's decals and headbands on Etsy.
-
@regberadaisy: Cute! We will have to make an OOTD thread on Sunday
-
I used to all the time. I still love to browse, but now that I'm not working, I don't buy much of anything that's not necessary!
-
@Smurfette: haha yup! We're taking him on a lunch cruise so I'm thinking of putting her in a dress for that then change into leggings and that tshirt at home.
Depends on the weather since we'll be out on the lake.
-
I turn to etsy for wedding, birthday and baptism gifts and I have loved everything I've ever bought! I also bought some onesies to announce our pregnancy to family (ended in m/c so they never got used). But one of the onesies says "made with love by dh and ash" Loooooooooooooove it!! I also bought my SIL's baby a onesie that said "worth the wait" after trying to have a baby for 2 years.
I love etsy!
-
I like etsy. I definitely go on a browsing binge and heart a bunch of stuff.
I use to buy a bunch of things a few years ago. Sadly I don’t buy that often anymore.
I think pricing is tough. Etsy is mostly hand made things. People do not get to mass produce those items in a factory, they do it by hand which takes time and energy.
I think that maybe some people actually wants to make a living doing it. So I can see why they price their item so pricey so that they can maybe make a living off of it.
-
I used it for my wedding but haven't made a purchase since. There is just so much out there, and it's too difficult to filter.
-
@runsyellowlites: ditto
We got LO's wall decals from there and DH's handspun carbon fiber wedding band (orignal band is white gold from our jeweler) which couldn't be found elsewhere, but otherwise that is about it.
-
I like to browse occasionally, but haven't yet bought anything.
-
I bought a pencil case a long time ago and yesterday I bought a camera bag insert. This way I can bring my camera everywhere and still be able to change purses
-
Very occasionally for unique or specific items. For our wedding I got my garter set and it is gorgeous. Got a calligraphy style address stamp for our new home. A few prints and party supplies.
For K, I've gotten inspirations, headbands, bibs, and most recently, gorgeous vintage dress. But usually the prices deter me from purchases. I know most are handmade and not mass produced = high prices, but I have to REALLY love it to justify prices. All those super cute baby leggings for $40 kills me! I've been trying to find cute prints to DIY some.
-
I do! It's the first place I look for gifts. I love supporting handmade and small business owners.
-
@Smurfette: That is SO cute! Trying to figure out if I can make something half that cute by Sunday now
I don't buy from there hardly ever, but I do looove to browse
-
I like to buy artwork on there, and recently I've been buying embroidered hoops from sellers I see on blogs. Otherwise, it's hard for me to justify the price when I can DIY something similar.
-
@swurlygurl: You could easily get the iron on transfers and make one. Then even sew a little bow really quick.
-
I don't buy much, but I do sometimes. Recently I got a friend a necklace with stones on it that are supposed to help with infertility, and I bought my mom a birthstone necklace for mother's day.
-
I more window shop, favorite a bunch of things and then say 'pssh, I could make that!'(or know someone who can) and don't buy. More for ideas.
