Your Guide to Buying Indie on Cyber Monday + Giveaway

By 116 Comments

As an indie artist myself, I know how much it makes my day when I open up my email to see an order in my inbox. And, while big companies employ lots of great people who need to make a living, I don’t think those companies feel that deep satisfaction every time a purchase is made.

So, consider doing a bit of holiday shopping from some of my personal friends this Cyber Monday. Many of them have great coupons and deals just for muh readers. AND, they are all giving away an item to ONE lucky reader. That’s a total of TWELVE gifts just for special you! It’s a beautiful thing.

  1. I love it! I like this post, because I always need extra encouragement to support and shop locally, and to buy these things somewhere other than target.

  12. I seriously love all of the items, but one of my favorites is the Fall Into Grace print from Rakstar Designs. :)

  17. Love the Mother Daughter Apron Sets from Little Miss Pea Gifts. Thanks so much for sharing, Jenna, because you’ve just inspired me with gift ideas I’ll be ordering tonight! Also, I want to throw this out there – Etsy gave me a link that gives people who have never previously purchased from Etsy $5 off any Etsy purchase. Here is mine, but I’m guessing you could get your own and earn money when your readers order: http://etsy.me/1yxxLcw

  27. I love love love everything in Nell’s shop – as well as in the Big White Farmhouse! I also have my sights set on your Ave Maria necklace. ;)

  34. This is the best blog giveaway I’ve ever seen! I LOVE indie artists–my daughter and I have an Etsy shop, too, and have our good share of shopping there! Just bought another gift there this evening! Thankful for my blog circle that led me to you! God bless!

  35. Whew! That was a lot of visiting and browsing, but loved it, and was even tempted to open a Twitter account to get those two extra entries, but already did this all with one hand while trying to rock a very fat and wiggly 7-month-old to sleep! Blessings and thank you for putting this together! It was a fun and inspiring tour even if I don’t win!

    • Pre dcerku pouzivam na detské masáže prirodny mandlovy olej Saloos a som s ním spokojna. Pridánim par kvapiek eterickeho oleja mu dodam vonu aku potrebujem (mrikaannda, mata, pomaranc a pod.) Iné bio výrobky som zatiaľ neskúšala. Celkovo si nerada natieram kožu, nie som zvyknutá, až v poslednom čase som si kúpila zopár krémov.

    • Great advice I have been wary of staying in hostels, for some of the reasons you consider: safety and cleanliness being the top coisednrations. I’ll keep this in mind though for future trips!

  83. Wow what a collection of indie artists! I love the pocket rosary and I wonder if the size and convenience of it would really inspire me to say the rosary more often. The baby bibs and burp cloth sets are darling. Thanks for the chance to win and also for sharing these great Etsy sites.
