Due to COVID, on-line ordering will be more popular this holiday season than ever before. If you are staying away from the malls this year and doing your Christmas shopping on-line, you can still support your local businesses and at the same time, find unique, thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list!
Did you know that you can filter specific locations in the Etsy Search? You can enter your city and see all the awesome shops that reside in your area.
Upon initiating a search, the left side of the Etsy site will give you additional options to filter on your search. One of the options is ‘Shop Location’. Select ‘Custom’ and enter your city. You can see from the example below that I entered ‘San Diego’. What a great way to support local!
I have found some amazing shops in San Diego. One of my favorites is MadeThruLove. In fact, I’ve met Renee (the owner) and we’ve become friends. I am in awe of her earrings – such an amazing talent!
