Last one tonight!!! Lucky Magazine – Fri, 12/12 @ 7pm EST.

Ever wish your favorite style-savvy magazine would somehow come to life and help you navigate the wide variety of items on Etsy? Imagine if your favorite blogger would magically appear and point you to the perfect holiday gifts for your friends and family… (sound of fingers snapping) Your wish is our command!

Etsy is teaming up with a bevy of talented tastemakers to bring you hot picks for the holiday season live in the Virtual Labs. If you’ve never visited the Virtual Labs, now is your chance to join in Etsy’s multi-user, webcam-enabled chat space (yes, where you can also throw around virtual paper airplanes and toss hearts at people). It’s going to be a whole lot of fun, so please spread the word and login here at the appointed hour!
