In recent years, Etsy has received lots of backlash for taking money from the artists that sell on the platform. Despite criticism surrounding the platform itself, it’s still important to support small businesses that sell their products on Etsy. In this article, I will showcase five of my favorite shops that I recommend supporting!

• beesstyles

If you’re a fan of the pop artist Harry Styles, beesstyles is the shop for you! They sell Christmas tree ornaments and Harry-inspired apparel such as t-shirts and crewnecks. Not only that, but they also sell miniature versions of select apparel for Build-a-Bear stuffed animals!

• MagicalByMarissa

MagicalByMarissa offers a variety of items such as enamel pins, stickers, earrings, and more! My personal favorite item of theirs is the engraved Apple Watch band. You can get one customized to your liking or select one of the pre-existing designs. Another cool aspect of this shop is that they offer a tattoo pass if you’re interested in getting one of their designs turned into a tattoo. This allows you to still monetarily support the artist for the time it took them to create the design!

• Pinadelphia

Are you a Philly sports fan who wants to proudly represent your favorite teams? Pinadelphia is the perfect place to find Philly-related stickers, lapel pins, and embroidered patches! If you’re looking for a unique gift for a friend or family member who is also a Philly sports fan, I would definitely recommend checking out this shop!!

• Beadaboutique

Expressing yourself through jewelry has become more popular among young people in recent years. If you’re looking for unique, handcrafted jewelry for yourself or someone else, Beadaboutique has it all! From necklaces to rings to keychains, this shop has a large selection of silver, gold, and crystal jewelry for a very affordable price. Not only that, but you have the option of personalizing each piece with different materials and crystals!

• chloescrystalsnco

Similar to Beadaboutique, chloescrystalsnco offers handmade necklaces, earrings, and rings. If you enjoy listening to Taylor Swift and are looking for subtle jewelry to show your support, chloescrystalsnco is the place for you! They offer Taylor-inspired jewelry, along with other pieces that are perfect for minimalists.
