The beauty of Etsy is that you can find an assortment of one-of-a-kind, DIY products that you don't have to make yourself by hand. They're thoughtful gifts that show that you put a lot of effort into finding them without the hassle of you physically going anywhere or constructing the items. We've grouped everything you could possibly think of into categories so you can easily find your way and get into the gifting groove. Flip through the gallery above and start placing your orders now before it's too late to get them on time!
Banners
Ever since I moved into my own apartment, banners have become one of my favorite decoration pieces. You can pick one that's already made or request a custom banner in any color that you want! It's honestly the perfect gift for someone, as the banners can be hung all year 'round.

, Customer Hashtag Banner, $13
, Flawless Banner, $15
, Love Will Tear Us Apart Banner, $25
Music Memorabilia
Maybe your friend isn't following all the fashion trends, but is a total fanatic when it comes to music. With options like music-oriented prayer candles and embroidery shirts, you won't find any of this stuff at your local mall. Besides, knock-off brand merch isn't always a bad thing when it comes in a bundle.
, Bitch Better Have My Money Socks, $6.50
, Lana Del Rey Prayer Candle, $8.99
KALE T-shirt, $13.93

, Waxed Canvas Lunch Bag, $24
, Geometric '80s Pattern, $38.17

Cups
Because "cheers" doesn't just apply by clinking a glass. Show that special someone that they're on your mind at all times of the day, but especially for their most important drink of the day—coffee and tea. (Cups also go a long way, too.) Every sip should feel nice and cozy.
, Babe Squad Cups Set of Four, $14
, Britney Mug, $14
, Floral Wreath Initial Coffee Mug, $16
, Tacky Christmas Sweater Coffee Mug Cozy, $24.99
Utensils
Maybe your friend has a way with words and you know how to make a permanent mark in their heart. Show them that you fully support their craft with a set of quirky, engraved pencils! They're functional, decorative and motivational all at the same time.

Unbe-weave-able
There's something about products made out of yarn that are knit or woven by hand that make us feel warm and tingly inside. Again, there are so many decorating options if you choose to go with the hanging pieces. For your friend that never really grew up, offer a knit plant. (It's a toy, but they can pretend that they're taking care of something besides themselves without having to worry about being responsible for keeping it alive.)
