Friday Free Shipping! Great Gift Ideas For Valentine's Day on Etsy!

     Browsing for gifts on Etsy can be fun if you have the time to relax and enjoy it, but it can also be time consuming and a little overwhelming if you're in a crunch for time. Most people shop for gifts with a purpose, event or holiday in mind and most of us have some sort of gift in mind as we begin our search. I often have my budget in mind, as well, and then become a little "sticker shocked" when the shipping is added to my shopping cart. It's very frustrating to realize that the cost of shipping has put my gift idea completely out of reach and I will now have to continue searching and possibly scale back my gift budget, so that I can afford the shipping fee.

     Well, the good news is that there is an easier way to shop quickly, stay within your budget, and find that perfect gift! Shop the "Free Shipping Search" at Etsy. It delivers all of the shops that are offering free shipping, right to your finger tips. Just scan by gender, item, and price and then you're done. You never have to worry that the shipping fees will nudge that perfect gift out of the reach of your budget.  It's fast, fun, and efficient! Here are a few examples of the great gifts I found shopping the "Free Shipping Search":

Joan, of Joan's Gardens, has been making cold process soap and skin care products for 10 years. Her education and experience as an RN, combined with her love of gardening and working with herbs, seemed to naturally lead her into soap making. She loves all aspects of it and has studied and experimented to constantly improve her products. For example, her soaps are poured into unique molds and dried for 3 weeks to make the harder and longer lasting. Check out her lip gloss, soaps, lotions, and solid perfumes at JoansGardens on Etsy and her
