    Etsy is a really, really cool place to find unique gifts. A lot of Etsy is handmade and handmade takes time, so here are a few tips to make sure the item you order will arrive by Christmas!

    Start with search

    Via etsy.com

    No need to fall in love with something that will be waiting to clear customs until the new year. Narrow your search to shops that are in your country.

    Check the “shop announcements”

    Via etsy.com

    A lot of shops will put cut off dates there. It’s also where many shop owners will put coupon codes!

    Check the “Shipping & Policies” tab

    Via etsy.com

    This fall Etsy redesigned the listing page, now there is a “Shipping & Policies” tab for every listing!

    Via etsy.com

    ... scroll down to the shipping section.

    Still not sure?

    Via etsy.com

    Just hit the “Ask a Question” button and ask! Just remember to mention where you are located.

    * BTW, this shop has the deadlines in the shop announcements, but I couldn't help but include a picture of their Grumpy Sloth!
