If you realized last week that you forgot to do some holiday shopping for a loved one, who happens to be entirely forgettable, we’ve got you covered. Here is a list of some fantastic Orlando-based and Orlando-themed designers and makers who have online shops on Etsy.com. We’ve sifted through all of the cheap Pulse-knockoff clothing and battered Walt Disney World keepsakes and come up with the following remarkable stores, just for you.
Did we miss any of your favorite shops? Post a link in the comments below so we can include them in our next roundup.
HELLO HAPPY PLANTS – SHOP

Hand-sculptured air plant pots in the shape of urban artifacts. We’ve loved them since we stumbled across them at Grandma Party Bazaar.

12 DEGREES WEST – SHOP

Handmade wire-wrapped jewelry.
FABS AND FAVES – SHOP

A collection of Florida-centric and just plane cute stickers and pins.
VORACIOUS APPETITE – SHOP

First of all, this vintage paperback has an amazing cover by David Johnston that deserves to be on the side of a building somewhere. Secondly, it’s an epic Italian poem written in the 16th century and has hippogriffs in it.
NEOGRANNY – SHOP
Owned by Molly Reilly
Vintage-inspired woodcuts, fabrics, found photographs and more. The mermaid necklace caught our eye but be sure to look at her wall plaques and earrings too.
