5 Black-Owned Etsy Shops for All Your Holiday Shopping
As soon as the Thanksgiving dishes were put away this year, my family and I made a promise to each other that we’d get our Christmas shopping done early. For someone like me, who tends to procrastinate, this was a lofty goal. The holiday season is officially in full swing and I hate to report that I still haven’t quite delivered on that promise — but I’m close! I love following a Christmas list with clear directions, but as my siblings and I have grown up, we’ve started to organize our lists with categories instead of specific items. For example, last year, my sister signed her first-ever lease on the cutest studio apartment and took up cooking as a stress-reliever, so thekitchen category—cookbooks, pots, pans,utensils, mixing bowls, serving platters, you name it — was top of mind for her. I couldn’t wait to help her outfit hercozy new galley kitchenby hand-selecting stylish and functional tools that reflected her aesthetic — and would make the space feel like the ultimate personal retreat at the end of a long day.
