I am a self-described online shopping addict, and Etsy is one of my favorite sites to browse. If you are not familiar with Etsy, it is a global marketplace where individual sellers vend handmade and vintage wares. One of the reasons I love Etsy is that by purchasing items on Etsy I am supporting an individual artisan. Here are seven of my favorite shops that I have received great products and service from:

1. Zenspire Designs

Zenspire Designs is a shop located in Pittsburgh. (Yay for supporting local artisans!) The shop offers a large variety of beautifully hand-designed stickers and other wares decorated with the owner’s artwork. I currently have a few Zenspire Designs stickers on my laptop, and I receive compliments on them often.

2. Botanical Threads

I have recently become obsessed with all things embroidery. I am fascinated by the intricate details artists can make with a needle and thread. Botanical Threads is no exception. I recently purchased a unique floral embroidery shirt and it is now my favorite piece of clothing. 10/10 would recommend.

3. Small Tattoos

Etsy is full of amazing temporary tattoo vendors, but Small Tattoos stands out to me. The selection of temporary tats is small, but they are gorgeous, and are designed by an actual professional tattoo artist. The shop features dainty floral designs perfect for testing out placement for possible future tattoos and/or wearing as a fun accessory.

4. Liesel Love

Liesel Love is a shop offering handmade, high quality jewelry. Rings are custom sized and reasonably priced. If you are looking to treat yourself on some gorgeous bling, I definitely recommend this shop.

5. Fabulously Feminist

Fabulously Feminist is an Etsy shop I hold near and dear to my heart. The wide variety of prints, stickers, mugs, and apparel for sale all center around feminist ideas and always get me feeling the girl power.

6. MXL Outfitters

MXL Outfitters is a shop I love supporting because it is owned and run by a girl who started her business venture as a teenager attempting to save up for concert tickets. Her shop features fandom, pop culture, and trendy tees with an emphasis on K-Pop bands, as well as some rad feminist apparel.

7. Lennie Arifin

Lennie Arifin is an illustrator who makes adorable customized portraits. I ordered one for my boyfriend of him and I as an anniversary present. He absolutely adores it and everyone who has seen it is so impressed. Lennie’s work would make a great gift for anniversaries, Mothers’ Day, birthdays, etc.

St Vincent '18

Hello there! I am the Campus Correspondent of the Her Campus chapter at Saint Vincent College. As a senior psychology major, I've made the most of my time in undergrad and am excited for all the doors I have opening ahead of me. I can definitely thank Her Campus for giving me invaluable skills. As a future psychologist, I hope that my articles (and the chapter's) are able to make you feel empowered, motivate you to start a conversation, and be kind. As a hero of mine has said, "If you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don't prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list."- Michelle Obama. Be the change you want to see in the world, and smile. Always smile!
