Etsy Finds for Valentine's Day

Etsy Finds for Valentine’s Day

By Becky Striepe on January 23, 2012

Can you believe that Valentine’s Day is less than a month off? We spend upwards of $15 billion on Valentine’s Day gifts and getaways. Imagine the impact we could make if we channeled some of that money to independent artisans who use eco-friendly materials instead of blowing it at the big box store?

On the hunt for just the right Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetie? We’ve got a few romantic finds from Etsy that should do the trick.

By Becky Striepe on April 29, 2011

Supporting small scale, handmade artists is better for the planet, especially when those artists focus on eco-friendly business practices. While buying handmade might seem like a no-brainer to many of us, not everyone immediately thinks of handmade marketplaces when they think of shopping. Thanks to a new, very exciting partnership, it’s going to be easier than ever for Sprint customers to shop handmade and green!
