New Role For Drew Barrymore With Etsy As Chief Gifting Officer

by

In the realm of gifting, navigating through a sea of options to find that perfect present can often feel like an overwhelming journey. But fear not, for Drew Barrymore, the epitome of elegance and taste, has embarked on a groundbreaking venture as Etsy’s inaugural Chief Gifting Officer, dedicated to simplifying the art of giving.

Drew’s picks can be seen here. 

With her unparalleled charm and impeccable style, Drew Barrymore assumes her new role at Etsy with grace and enthusiasm. As the “gifting godmother,” she brings a touch of magic to the world of gift shopping, aiming to alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with finding meaningful presents for loved ones.

In a recent survey conducted by Etsy, it was revealed that a staggering majority of Americans experience anxiety when it comes to gift shopping. Drew Barrymore, in collaboration with Etsy, acknowledges this common plight and endeavors to transform the gifting experience into a joyous endeavor rather than a daunting task.

Drew’s first picks are filled with daisies and flowers and not only can I not wait to see all her picks, but I bet there are lots of Etsy sellers wanting to be picked too.   Could this lead to a boost in sales that a small artist needs?

With Etsy’s unparalleled array of handcrafted treasures and Drew Barrymore’s guiding hand, your gifting journey is destined to be a delightful odyssey filled with warmth and sincerity.

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
