Travel & Lifestyle | The best way to welcome baby with Etsy Canada

For those of you who follow along on social media (@DoTheDaniel btw), you’ll have noticed that I recently became an uncle. My baby brother & his beautiful wife gave birth to their first born and the whole family couldn’t be happier to welcome baby Rebecca! I of course immediately started planning for baby gifts that would be both practical for first time parents but also beautiful for my niece. There are so many choices out there, from toys, booties, even a baby casting voucher which would have let them make a mold of the baby’s feet to keep forever. Although this would have been really cute, from what I’ve heard, the baby is quite fussy and probably would enjoy having to stay still for the mold. I decided to keep looking. I wanted to find items that would be useful but lovely for the new baby to have, so I checked out a list of the best baby products online to see what I could get and where I could get them from, I was in need of a lot of help in that department because you never know just what they like, but reviews from actual parents who have tried and tested them have helped so much.

When faced with buying baby essentials, be they for your own little ones or the additions via family and friends, I asked myself… did I have to settle on going to the big box baby stores? The answer is no. Thanks to Etsy Canada, I was able to create a parcel of baby must haves that are not only unique, but also support local businesses.

Events | Etsy Summer Festival Tour

By now, you all know my LOVE of all things Etsy! (see here, here and here) I love how they’ve become not just an online store, but have been bringing makers together to showcase their craft, as well as give us the opportunity to touch and feel the product before buying. Etsy has decided to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with a cross-Canada summer festival circuit! The idea came from similar events in other places such as Australia, where street events and markets are a frequent occurrence in the summer months. In fact, I was astonished when doing my research at the quick and easy clean-up process using skip bin hire sydney, so I recommended a similar company over here in Canada to the organisers.

Family Lifestyle | Valentine’s Day by Etsy

It’s officially February, so it’s crunch time for Valentine’s Day! I’ve posted before about my love of pretty much all things Etsy (here, here and here), so it should come as no surprise that when a gift giving holiday comes along, I jump right on Etsy and see what I can find that’s unique and one of a kind! I’ve been through things for my man like socks, belts, maybe sometimes I’ve gone for A cool mens Henley option for example! But what else is out there? Often I don’t know what I want until I see it.. and then it’s all I HAVE TO HAVE IT! haha! For example, there are so many great personalized gifts available online that you haven’t thought of yet, such as this Custom Spotify Code Music Plaque. I can imagine filling it with my boo’s favorite songs and giving it to him for Valentine’s Day. So I thought I would curate a list of great gifts for the ones you love most in the hopes that you’ll see something you just HAVE to have!

#DoTheDaniel’s Holiday Gift Guide | Amanda

It’s officially December and the countdown is on to find the best gifts out there for you and your loved ones. For some of us, finding the perfect gift is easier said than done, so we usually find ourselves in a mad rush to find the best presents that we can find. My friend did this the other year, and it wasn’t until she decided to personalize a gift did she actually get somewhere. Designed Pillows with photo customization has become popular in the last few years, and can even double up as a holiday and housewarming gift if the recipient has just moved into a new house. Even better, right? There are so many things you can personalise too, anything you can think of I reckon could be a personalised gift. You can design your own photo keyring, canvas, clothes, this list goes on, and they are available all over the world. They can be for any age as well, for instance, what do you get for a teen? They are at such a difficult age to buy for. What do they like to do, other than play games and listen to music, right? Well why not a custom airpods case? Something they can utilise and won’t gather dust in their rooms. Having said that this really could just be for anyone with an phone! As you can see, there really is a custom gift for everyone out there if you look, it’s such a good route to go down at any time of the year. If you’re still not convinced, then don’t fret, that’s why you have come to this page! So, how do we find the best gifts on the market? Luckily, the #DoTheDaniel team has been hard at work finding gifts that we personally have added to our letters to Santa and that you should consider in the coming weeks. Be you a Holistic Nutritionist, a Mom or a Foodie.. We have each come up with a list of items that are this season’s Holiday Must Haves. SO, without further ado, come and see what I have put together for my first ever Holiday Gift Guide for us all! Continue reading “#DoTheDaniel’s Holiday Gift Guide | Amanda”
