How to find amazing, unusual Gifts to give

What happens when you get a bunch of creative people to band together and sell their stuff on a website? Interesting, unusual and very imaginative bargains!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Internet connection
• This URL: etsy.com
• PayPal account

1. 
    

   Go to www.etsy.com. Choose a category under "Ways to Shop" on the left side of the screen.

2. 
    

   Feeling a little adventurous? From the main home screen, go to "Buy" (along the top) and then choose "Pounce" (third choice down).

3. 
    

   Some Undiscovered items I found: A beautiful glass bead bracelet for $8.00 by Beadsforpeace; "Booger in my pocket lapel pin" pocket lapel pin by peggerspockets for only $4.95.

4. If you choose to see some items just sold you'll get another perspective: I found a sweet little hand crocheted cat magnet for $5.00, and an amazing print of a watercolor painting called "Across the Field" by obsoleteworld for only $10.00!

5. If you have an idea for a handmade item but you don't have the time or talent, post a request under "Custom" and maybe someone will actually make it for you.

6. Your family and friends will be blown away! Happy shopping!
