Buy Handmade, Help the Gulf

One thing on the very long list of things I love about shopping on Etsy is that not only can you feel good about buying handmade, but you can also support an endless number of charities and fundraising efforts at the same time.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of items you can find on Etsy where a portion or all of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Gulf cleanup fundraising efforts. What better way to head into the weekend than with a double duty good deed, shop away!
