By now, you're probably familiar with Etsy. In fact, if you're someone who loves to craft and digs homemade items, there's a good chance that you received an Etsy gift card from a friend or family member over the holidays. Etsy is a wonderful place for artists and hobbyists from all over the world to connect. For many, it's a great way to start up a business without having to find a retail location.
If you're looking to spend a little money on yourself, Etsy is the best place to find a nice little cheer-up gift. Even though 2021 has finally come, it's been a tough year so far. Many of us still won't be able to see our families or be able to mourn the people we lost properly. It's important not to give up on self-care. You still need to find happiness, and sometimes, a small online purchase will do wonders. (Plus? You're supporting an artist, which is something you can feel good about.)
Here are 10 great Etsy finds that are bound to lift your spirits.
Tiny Heart Bracelet
$15
from
This small yet gorgeous bracelet from QueenHandmades on Etsy is a great way to remind yourself every day that you're loved. When you're having a hard day, one glance down will help remind you of all the love you have in your life. Whether it's family, friends, pets, or coworkers, someone out there thinks you're pretty special.
Good Karma Bracelet
Everyone needs a little bit of good karma on occasion, and this cute and simple bracelet will be a great way to bring some luck into 2021. Crafted by the Etsy shop Zzaval, you can even choose what cord color you want.
Kodama Succulent Plant Pot
Plants are a great way to bring some fresh life into your home. Getting brand-new planters for succulents is a wonderful way to keep spirits up — especially if that planter happens to have a bit of personality itself. ThreeDimensionPrints created these of Kodama, a sweet spirit said to inhabit trees, according to Japanese folklore. These are priced according to size.
Bath Bomb Steamers
Bathing is important for hygiene as well as relaxation. These bath bomb steamers from GracyElla on Etsy are handmade with essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and lemongrass. They're bound to make you feel better and can be used in both the bath and the shower.
Christmas Tree in a Bag
Christmas may be over for now, but it's OK to keep the spirit alive. By growing your own tree, you can help the environment and make every day joyous. This is also a fun gift for yourself if you're just getting into gardening.
Portable Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser
Essential oils won't cure any type of illness, but they're nice to smell and will truly uplift your mood. These diffusers from SoulshineHolistic may be a great way to upgrade your day. These will mist up to 10 hours, and they automatically shut off when they're done.
Fluffy Socks
You are never too old for fluffy socks. LittleTwinkleCo puts them in sets, with one adult pair and one child pair. That means that they're perfect for lounging around in with your child. Warm, fluffy socks are a great way to find some happiness (and keep your feet protected!).
Lavender Bubble Bath
All products that'll enhance your bath are worth buying. This bubble bath from JunebugEssentials is nontoxic and safe for kids, and it smells amazing. If lavender isn't your thing, there are other scents, like peppermint, pine needle, and sweet orange.
Wooden Picture Frames
Sometimes, happiness comes from reflecting on the past. Even during these dark days, there've still been moments to remember. Consider framing some of your favorite moments with this gorgeous set of frames from WoodSideOrbisStore. Price varies based on sizing.
Dancer Necklace
Even if you're not a professional dancer, there's something very freeing and open about this necklace from WyndflowerDesigns. Every piece is handcrafted. It can even be personalized to say "beauty in strength" on the back, in case you need a daily reminder of your own strength and courage.
