All week, I’ve been talking about holiday gifts… After all, the holiday season is now in full swing!
I know Etsy’s been around for a while now, but in the last year I have really started doing some shopping on Etsy. And, I can’t get enough! So, for this week’s Friday Favorites, I thought I’d share a few more gift ideas… And, they’re all available on Etsy.
And… Stay tuned at the end of this post for another great giveaway!
For the Bloggers and Social Media Enthusiasts… There are all sorts of fun personalized gifts for the social media gurus on your list.
- For the Twitter-addicted on your list (and, I am certainly in need of Tweeters Anonymous), you can’t go wrong with a gift personalized with his or her Twitter handle. I love this personalized keychain from Glassy Chic Boutique and this cute personalized Follow Me necklace from Punky Jane.
- Even though much of my communication is done online these days, I still love fun stationery. It seems I’m always looking for cute note cards to add to a package or a gift. I am a big fan of personalized cards, and I am especially loving these personalized Twitter mini notecards from Armato Design and Press.
- Want to personalize your own gift tags and cards? A personalized stamp is perfect for a personal and homemade touch with sophisticated flare. I think I may have to order one of these personalized stamps from lettergirl.
For the Bakers… Here are some fun ideas for anyone on your list who loves to bake.
- Ladies with a sweet tooth will love to indulge in these sweet-inspired beauty products from Sugared Beauty (an Etsy seller I actually discovered at a local farmer’s market!)… My personal favorites include the white chocolate truffle lip balm and the cocoa butter lotion bar (paraben free!). You can’t go wrong with chocolate cake sugar scrub… Calorie free!
- Every good baker has a whisk (or 10) in their kitchen. I know the whisk is certainly a favorite of mine! Why not give them another whisk or two to add to the collection? I have given this sterling silver wire whisk necklace from ExoDesign as a gift in the past, and it’s always a hit (I also have one myself!). You can also get matching whisk earrings, too!
- There are a lot of bakers with furry sous chefs that would love anything that combines dogs and cupcakes. May sound a bit silly, but if you take a look at this cute Yellow Dog Baking Company illustration from Gemini Studio, I think you’ll see what I mean. Not a labrador owner? There are also dachsund, pug, beagle, and basset versions (just to name a few).
For the Art Lovers… Picking out the perfect photo or artwork for a friend can be the perfect gift. Here are a few of the things that I am loving!
- I have fallen in love with food photography, and I know I am not alone! The food photo lovers out there will love a print of a mouthwatering food photo. Need some inspiration? You will find lots of stunning photos from honey & jam photography or A Thought for Food, two of my personal favorites!
- Are you looking for some personalized art? Look no further than Kudos Kitchen Art by Renee. She has a great assortment of hand painted glassware, mugs, bowls, and tiles. I ordered some guitar themed tiles from Renee for my hubby’s birthday, and I couldn’t have been happier with them… She does amazing work!
- If you’re looking for something a bit more modern, be sure to check out these fun Kitchen Art Prints from Oodles of Color. The tough part will be deciding which three prints to include in your set! No room for a set of three? You can buy a single print, too.

As promised, I also have a great giveaway for you today! I mentioned above that I met Sarah from Sugared Beauty at a local farmer’s market. And, as soon as I did, I knew that I wanted to collaborate with her. She really has some amazing beauty products, and they are all natural, which I love!

My favorite dessert is probably chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, I love all these great gifts you have shared!
My favorite dessert? Really? It’s SO hard to pick just one! Cheesecake, carrot cake, tiramisu, anything CHOCOLATE!
Favorite dessert hmm? So hard to choose but I think my French Silk Pie with a graham cracker/pecan crust is it. I could literally eat the whole thing!
And I tweeted your giveaway Jen; those products look fabulous. Come on over and get in on mine too. Last day. $5 value (well if you don’t count my time lovingly making it!). But simply the best thing for your wooden kitchen ‘stuff.’
My favorite dessert — pecan pie!
Such fun and pretty gift ideas! Love them!
I’ll say pumpkin pie is my favorite today!

That’s like choosing a favorite child. Um, whatever one I’m shoving in my mouth at that moment! Let’s say chocolate cake.
Yum… my favorite dessert is cheesecake!
I tweeted! :)
My all time favorite is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. But I don’t think there’s a sweet I don’t like. Thanks for the giveaway. Happy Holidays!
Homemade chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream!
My favorite dessert would have to be ice cream, specifically Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
My fav dessert is a gooey, homemade cinnamon roll :)

I love secret breakfast ice cream by humphry slocombe. Vanilla ice cream with whiskey and cornflakes :)
You can’t go wrong with warm chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk.
Favorite dessert? No, can’t do it. Don’t make me choose. OK, if I have to. Hummingbird cake (with cream cheese frosting, natch). Maybe.
My favorite dessert is creme brulee!
My favorite dessert is Chocolate Pecan Pie!
I love brownies. Thanks for the chance to enter.
I love some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies!!
My favorite dessert is the most amazing chocolate cake…I was lucky enough to snag the recipe from a friend’s mom. It includes a cup of coffee as an ingredient so it tastes so rich!
My favorite dessert is anything chocolate. I absolutely love Sugared Beauty!
Creme brule!
I just want to say that I love love love that whisk necklace! It’s one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!! :-)
Oh and as for my favorite dessert, I’m not sure I can choose one. I’ll just say chocolate chip jam bars for now since that’s what I’m in the mood for!
Right now Christmas cookies are my favorite dessert! Any kind :)
What a difficult question! I think it’s currently the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake that I made for my birthday this year.
My favorite dessert is fruit sorbet or anything with chocolate.
