If you read my blog, you know this about me: I love handmade items. It’s exciting to find items that are unique and different and somehow seem like they’ve been made just for you. One of the unforeseen benefits of blogging has been connecting with different Etsy shops and enthusiasts who share this passion for handmade goods.
What if there was an internet-based hub for all things handmade? A place that branches out beyond Etsy to let you discover shops from across the world wide web that match your specific tastes and interests? Well, fellow handmade enthusiasts, such a website is coming soon in the form of Relishly. Set to launch in a few weeks, Relishly seeks to help users discover new sellers and artists and also connect with other passionate shoppers. It’s Handmade Shopping 2.0, taking shopping from a solitary experience to a social one. Oh, and did I mention that Relishly will also feature deals and coupons for select stores as well? Yes, that too!
In order to spread the word about Relishly, they are sponsoring a giveaway here on The Type A Housewife. One winner will receive his or her choice of item from Etsy (up to $25, including cost of shipping). Yup, you read that correctly–you can choose any item from any Etsy shop. It’s like a mini shopping spree!
Enter a separate comment for each method of entry. Do the mandatory entry first–if your email address isn’t in your Blogger profile, include it in this comment. Please know that I will delete comments that don’t answer the mandatory entry question. Comments like “this is great,” “enter me,” etc. will be deleted, as will daily and hourly tweets.
Mandatory Entry: There are two mandatory entries for this giveaway! Please enter separate comments for each, but make sure you do them both or you will be disqualified.
1. Sign up here to be notified when Relishly launches. Be sure to click on Handmade Goods as an interest. If you sell handmade items, also click on Seller/Artisan. Please include your email address in your comment.
2. Tell me the name of your favorite Etsy shop and why you love it OR if you are an Etsy seller, list the name of your Etsy shop.
