Sometimes, generic gifts like socks or flowers just don’t cut it. The best Etsy gifts, however, are ideal for the people you know (and love) most deeply—the people who deserve and will truly appreciate personalized gifts. Because while store-bought gifts might bring smiles to their faces, presents that were handmade and perhaps personalized are all the more heartwarming.
Enter: Etsy, your one-stop shop for hand-crafted, sentimental, customizable, and (sometimes) adorably corny gifs. Instead of sending a more impersonal present from big-name retailers like Amazon or Walmart, when you shop at Etsy, you’re almost always supporting small businesses—making your purchases more meaningful both for the artists and the giftee.
With Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s an ideal time to find a little something special for that special someone. Hell, while you’re at it, why not get ahead of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, graduations, and the holiday season? Of course, sometimes it can be tough to find exactly what you’re looking for while scouring the multitude of Etsy sellers, which is where we come in.
Below, we’ve gathered the best gifts from Etsy for your significant other, parent, best friend, and everyone else on your list this V-Day season. You’ll find keychain-size keepsakes, DIY cocktail boxes, monogrammed charcuterie boards, sleek brewing accessories for coffee lovers, and more great gifts (many of which fall under $50). Whatever your budget and taste, this Etsy gift guide is guaranteed to have a keepsake that your loved one will cherish for years to come.
Etsy Gifts for Boyfriends
If your guy is a sucker for the sentimental, there are plenty of sweet gifts for men on Etsy. We’ll always recommend this personalized record (which this author gave as a gift to her partner). All you need to do is send in “your” song, your favorite photo of you two, and the Spotify or Apple Music link (which will appear as a QR code on the record, so he can play the song any time he wants). In a long-distance relationship?
A custom Morse code bracelet will give them a sweet and tasteful reminder of you. If he loves to wear jewelry, Evren’s chain ring is stylish with whatever he’s wearing, and it comes in gold and silver. For the boyfriend or man in your life who could use some more wall art in his home, we love Paper Emporium Co.’s map of the sky the night that you met.
There are many ways to say “I love you” to your girlfriend (75, to be exact, if you give her this trendy art print, which can be matted and framed). For a more sensual gift, we recommend a hand-poured candle made with essential oils that melts into massage oil while it burns. A personalized ceramic jewelry dish keeps her dainty rings and earrings on display, while a set of fun date-night tickets might spark some ideas and breathe new life into your one-on-one time together.
For your mom’s tiny trinkets, we love this travel jewelry box stamped with her birth flower and name. You could also opt for a family birthstone necklace as a subtle and beautiful reminder of her loved ones. If Mom could use some new winter gear (or a very early Christmas gift), we love Tangled Knot Co.’s heart-stamped mittens, which reviewers say are high quality, warm, and cute. And for a truly one-of-a-kind gift, give her a handwritten letter or favorite poem on a backlit frame to keep by her bedside.
A set of monogrammed cufflinks will step up the stylish dad’s suit game. If he’s always whipping up something new in the kitchen, how about a solid wood cutting board stamped with the family name? A minimalist pour-over stand will class up your dad’s morning brew, and he just might shed a tear when he opens this framed mountain-scape that maps the locations important to both of you.
Galentine’s Day (a.k.a. Palentine’s Day) falls on February 13, but these gifts are good for any time of the year. A self-care gift set, which includes coffee beans (or tea sachets), a cozy throw blanket, and bar of chocolate makes an excellent treat for your pal who could use some extra R&R. Choose from dozens of yummy drinks for a unique cocktail/mocktail kit your friend can DIY themself. A handmade ceramic mug and saucer set makes a perfect gift for your friend who has a growing collection, and for the BFF who loves the layered-necklace look, opt for a simple Caitlyn Minimalist pendant engraved with their initial (and maybe add yours to the chain too).
Etsy is a treasure trove for unique gift ideas. Surprise your dog-lover or cat-lover pal with a custom pet portrait of their furry friend, or, for the most adventurous on your list, get them to stop using their phone’s compass by gifting a personalized brass one, which can be engraved with a note. For long-distance loved ones, an adorably tiny keychain compiles your favorite memories together in a leather-bound photo book. Meanwhile, puzzlers and sentimentalists are ideal recipients for a wooden puzzle that features reasons why you love your giftee on each piece.
