At this moment in history, so many people are anxious to help small businesses and their owners, as they struggle through economic catastrophe. One great way to do that is to shop on Etsy for gifts and even things you need, so you can pay the maker directly. We know people are doing this, because during Coronavirus their numbers are at Cyber Monday levels! That's amazing for small businesses and for the environment!

Etsy is huge. There are so, so many options out there, and it can be hard to know where to start.

Luckily, we have been researching Etsy shops for 5 years, so we can point you to some of the best Etsy shops out there. We have shopped at so many of these, and we love them. Etsy shopping can be so fun, and it really allows us to shift how we think about shopping and how we spend our money.

This list doesn't cover every category, so if you are looking for something in particular, be sure to narrow the geography in the search, so you only look at shops in your country, state, or area. If can also be really fun to shop by location, and you can see all the sellers that are making things near you.

Here we go! Get browsing and support small businesses!
