Dreaming about road trips, travel to distant lands, or a "stay-cation" camping trip to the backyard?  You can find ideas for gear and clothing you might want for your adventure — whether traveling far or near or simply escaping at home — to make it more memorable in the Travel Showcase. 


We ask that sellers choose travel-related items such as:

Travel accessories: Bags, passport holders, wallets, etc.

Vacation fashion: Clothing and accessories ideal for a getaway in all climates. (Safari hat, sunglasses, etc.)

Travel-related items:  Maps, vintage road signs, compasses, travel games, travel-sized toiletries, stationary, postcards, journals.

Travel-inspired items: Think airplanes, road trips, landmarks, trains, beaches, vintage suitcases, etc.

  • The Travel Showcase goes on sale Thursday, July 2, 2009 at 12 p.m. ET.
  • Go to the Showcase Gateway to purchase a spot.
  • This Showcase will run from Monday, July 6, 2009 12 a.m. ET until Sunday, July 12, 2009, 11:59 p.m. ET.
  • For $15 USD, Etsy sellers can purchase a 24-hour spot, which will be linked from a prominent banner on Etsy's homepage.
  • Sellers determine which item will be featured in your Showcase slot. Sellers must use the tool in Your Etsy > Promote > Showcase. Learn more about this process here.

Future Showcases

If you are planning for other Showcases that may be more appropriate for your items, here is the next home page Showcase:

  • Weddings - The Perfect Gift Showcase: On sale Thursday, July 9, 2009; the Showcase will be live July 13, 2009 through July 19, 2009.

    • Think gifts for the home: housewares, furniture and items that will become heirlooms in the years to come.
