Etsy has some really unique items when you take the time to search for them. And there are some incredibly creative shop owners out there! It’s pretty much the first place I search when I need something a little different. So over the years, I’ve amassed a list of shops that I love to frequent. I couldn’t possibly list them all in this post, but here is a collection of 8 of my favorite Etsy shops, plus one non-Etsy shop that I love and couldn’t NOT add her here.
Artwork and Home Decor
Red Letter Designs – Red Letter Designs is owned by a Lutheran mother of 4. Meghan designs her own original artwork (which is stunning!) and makes it into prints, digital downloads, and cards, most of which are theologically based. She also occasionally takes special orders, which is how I got Eric’s Father’s Day present a couple years ago. She does beautiful work, plus she’s a joy to work with.
Pure Joy Creative – Pure Joy Creative’s owner Jamie is a fellow pastor’s wife who has 5 children. She creates T-shirts, mugs, vinyl, jewelry, totes, cards, and digital downloads. I absolutely love her cards! And she just started selling stickers as well. How fun!
Errikos Art Design – When we started the foster care process, we had originally gotten into it to adopt a particular girl, which didn’t work out. So we stayed in and kept going. And since we were already in the mindset of having a girl, we decided to only consider girls in the future. Of course, that meant that I needed to decorate the room with girl decor. While I looking around for room decor that wasn’t typical or boring, I found this Etsy page and fell in love with his prints and had to order one. Imagine my surprise when he sent me a coordinating one for free! He is located in Greece, but even so, my order was delivered really quickly. I would most definitely recommend purchasing from this shop if you’re in the market for kids room decor. And he is now offering digital prints as well.
Wall Decals
Simply Love Creations – This shop offers darling prints, wall decals, guest books/signs for weddings, and more. We ordered individual letters that each featured a Star Wars character to spell out our friends’ son’s name. They turned out SO cute!
Scriptum Vinyl – We ordered vinyl wall words for our kitchen from this shop. We love them! The shop owner was so easy to work with, and our order arrived quickly. And now our kitchen is charming and unique.
Spiffy Decals – Spiffy Decals is a family business, and the store has been on Etsy since 2011 so they’re well established. My mom got wall decals for Judah’s room from this Etsy shop for his birthday, and they’re absolutely perfect!! You can see in the photos below why this made my list of favorite Etsy shops.
Outdoor Stone Decor
Cracker Creek Millwork – This seller did a beautiful job on an address plaque for my mom’s house. They use recycled materials to make address plaques, signs, cutting boards, and pet memorials. The seller was very quick and efficient in getting me a proof and finishing
Clothing
Kiki Grows – Who knew it would be so hard to find bow ties for little boys? Well, look no further because this mom of 2 boys makes charming bow ties in a wide variety of materials and patterns. Once I decide on an Easter outfit for Judah, I think I’ll order a bow tie from this shop.
Honorable Mention
The Hymnus Tree – The Hymnus Tree isn’t an Etsy shop, but it deserves an honorable mention anyway. Alisha is another fellow
Do you have any favorite Etsy shops that you like to buy from? I’d love to know about them! I’m always looking for new small business owners to support.

Lovely post! I have trouble figuring out Etsy…it helps to have some pointers to good shops!
Thank you! I know what you mean. Etsy can be overwhelming sometimes. It’s taken a lot of searching and surfing to maneuver it more easily. Plus, sometimes it helps to have something specific to search for.
Since opening an online shop on Etsy in 2017 I have got to know so many lovely small businesses and enjoy shopping on there whwn I am looking for unique and personal handmade gifts. One of the shops I have recently ordered from is Ellie’s Treasures https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/ellies_treasures
What unique things that shop has! Thanks 🙂
Hi I really need to get involved with Etsy! So many of my friends create and sell through there. This has inspired me a lot especially the idea of selling recycled goods! Thanks ?
Oh good! Thanks 🙂 And yes, Etsy really has a lot of fun and unique things available. It’s easy to search and scroll for hours. So many talented people!
