My Favourite Etsy Shops for Cute Gifts & Homeware 

October 10, 2017 Amy Elizabeth

I hate to say it, but Christmas will be here before we know it (#sorrynotsorry) and with so much time on my hands at the moment, I've already been browsing for a few gifts. Where possible, I always like to buy from independent makers and business owners and Etsy makes that so much simpler to do. As luck would have it, a good few of the shops I've stumbled across that have become firm favourites are also local to us in Yorkshire - which makes me even happier to spend my pennies with them. 

Modo Creative

If you're looking for a personal touch, this is the place to find it. Modo Creative have a beautiful range of gifts and homewares that can be personalised with names, dates and other details to make them extra special. I discovered them when looking for bits and pieces for Ben's nursery (we bought this Wild Thing cushion from them) and it turns out that they're based in Yorkshire, which is a very happy coincidence. They currently have some beautiful Christmas stockings that I am very tempted by for Benjamin's first Christmas, as well as a personalised oak letter that would look perfect on the gallery wall above his crib. I could go on, because they have so many gorgeous things that make me squee with joy, but I urge you to check it out for yourselves! 

The Lovely Drawer

You may recognise Teri from her blog of the same name, but she also turns her talented hand towards pretty paper goods, from invites and notebooks to prints and adorable baby milestone cards. Her style is sweet and simple, with hand-drawn lettering and simple ink drawings. I have my eye on a couple of her prints (this one and this one, in particular) for our spare room and I know they'll really brighten up the place! 

Zeal and Heart

I recently bought this necklace from Zeal and Heart, their collaboration with blogger and author Laura Jane Williams (who you need to be following on Instagram Stories, by the way...) and I've barely taken it off since. The message is a great daily reminder, and the minimalist style is simple enough to go with pretty much everything I own. They have plenty of great phrases, so you're bound to find one to suit you (or the person you're buying a gift for). I've got my eye on 'Courage dear heart' and I think we could all do with 'I choose happy', don't you? 

Joy Jenna Made

You may recognise Jenna from the beautiful wedding photos that she took for us, but she's talented at more than one creative pursuit! She sells cards and prints with beautiful calligraphy and watercolours, and I absolutely love her style; it's so bright and fun. The colours on her Find the Joy print bring me, well, all the joy and this flamingo print is just too cute. Plus 10% of all her profits go to charity, so buying a card from her is the perfect way to spread the love in more ways than one. 

AsSeenOnApparel

This shop is every TV nerd's dream, with t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring logos from all your favourite shows. Grab your Sunnydale High jacket, your Luke's Diner sweatshirt, your Rydell High hoodie or your Knope 2012 t-shirt and find your tribe. I literally want all of the above, and that's just the beginning. Whichever cult TV show is your favourite, I suspect you'll find something to suit you here. They have a little shop near me, but it's not always open so this is the best way to let your geek flag fly! (P.S. If you get all of those references, slide into my DMs because we should be friends!).

Hello!

My name's Amy. 

 I live in Leeds with my husband, Paul, our son, Benjamin, and our cat, Tuna Fey. 

This blog is a little snapshot of my life, just as it is right now. It's a collection of many things; from motherhood and family to recipes, crafts, books and interiors.

Making a promise to myself that I’ll buy a bunch of daffodils whenever I see them because they make my heart so happy. I know it’s probably a false promise and we have plenty of frost to come, but it really feels like spring in the air and that is some kind of tiny miracle. Sunshine and yellow flowers are the greatest tonic ☀️

BRB, just sobbing over the fact that my baby already looks old enough to get his actual driving license 😭😭😭 #happyselves #pbloggers #momentsofmine #ohheymama #momentsinmotherhood #momentslikethese #letthembelittle #mytinymoments #littlefamiliesofig #writeyouonmyheart #thehappynow #rememberingthesedays #capturingchildhood #kidsforreal
So in love with the colours of the fabrics for my next quilt 😍 It’s a gift for a friend, but I’m very tempted to make my own with just the coloured fabrics... and then redecorate a whole room to match. Seems reasonable, right?  #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #createeverydamnday #amylizmakes #documentyourdays #hurrayforplay #stayinspired #wearethemakers #doitfortheprocess #makersgonnamake #showyourwork #maketimeforcreativity #dailydoseofcolour #colourmyjoy #ihavethisthingwithcolour #quiltersgonnaquilt #sewhappy
Okay, majorly unrelated caption alert but I *need* to talk about how much I love Sex Education. Major spoiler alerts coming, but seriously, this show is so smart and funny and full of heart and important and I actually might burst with how good it is. I *wept* on more than one occasion, but was particularly moved by Maeve's abortion (because how amazing to see abortion actually depicted in a non-sensationalised way that acknowledges the nuances and reality for women!) and I almost couldn't breathe when Otis and Eric danced together at the prom (because what an amazing display of non-toxic masculinity and friendship and all I want for Ben is for him to be able to hold hands with and support his friends!). God, I already want to rewatch the whole thing. And also dye my hair pink. More, please!

10/100 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne 📚❤️ I had a book hangover from Sally Thorne’s first novel, The Hating Game, and her second didn’t disappoint. I still think The Hating Game is my favourite, but I loved the sassy heroine and the sweet cinnamon roll hero and the fact that they were renovating a house and so much else about this book. More Sally Thorne books forever, please!

Paul, from the bottom of my feminist heart, I love you. Thanks for ranting more about the patriarchy than I do, and teaching our son that men do the cleaning and the childcare, and for not being weird about the fact that I’m smarter than you 😉
