Thanksgiving

Looking to impress this year? Etsy sellers are crafting sophisticated handmade finds to help bring any space together. And this year, shoppers are going all out – in the last three months, searches on Etsy for Thanksgiving decor have increased 98%, dinnerware has increased 49%, and gourds have increased 24% (compared to the same time the previous year). For those hosting a big, family-style gathering, here are a few of our favorite on-trend tablescape and holiday decor must-haves: 

Friendsgiving

Shoppers hosting their squad’s annual feast are looking to Etsy for fun, festive, and personalized Friendsgiving decor to make an insta-worthy soiree.  In fact, in the last three months, searches on Etsy for custom glasses have increased 13%, entertaining items have increased 10%, and party decor items are up 2% (compared to the same time the previous year). To get the look, think: Friendsgiving banners, custom wine glasses (that easily double as place cards and favors), and hand-printed table runners – which shoppers can easily re-purpose for their next holiday shindig.
