Etsy is the best place to find a unique gift or a new piece of jewelry. If you're going to spend money on a new item, it's nice to know it's going to the local makers that are working on their craft. Founder Robert Kalin's inspiration for the name came from watching Italian films and he liked the sound of "eh, si" (oh yes). These Etsy shops are amazing and not only will you get an original item that you can't find in a strip mall, but when you open the package you'll say "oh yes", here are the top 10.

#10 FiredaughterClothing

When founder Samya Cochran was pregnant with their first child, a daughter, she became obsessed with finding something for her to wear to show her pride for her daddy, who is a Firefighter. She couldn't find anything, absolutely nothing for the daughters of Firefighters. She became obsessed- how could there be nothing? She kept talking about it and talking about it and her husband finally said “seriously, shut up and do something about it”. So she made up the word Firedaughter, Firefighter, but with daughter instead of fighter. And so Firedaughter Clothing was born. She floundered for a few years, selling just enough to barely break even, mainly to people she already knew.

Samya was talking with their neighbor one night, telling her how the Firedaugher concept was just not taking off and she felt like there was nothing left to do but quit. She asked if she had other passions aside from being a Firefighter's wife… and she knew the answer. Firedaughter’s focus changed to fitness, and that’s where it remains today.

The Firedaughter view on fitness is very specific. Their shirts tell the story of Samya's fitness life, and her outlook on fitness. Firedaughter girls don’t need to tell you they’re better than you, and they don’t live by cliches. They do what works and they’re grateful that they are blessed with lives that allow them to take care of themselves.

#9 Tribal Style

Tribal Style is a place where cultural, tribal adornment meets modern day life. They have taken earrings that were originally made for gauged ears, split them and inserted a sterling silver post. Making them available for people who have always admired this tribal style, but could not make the commitment of stretching their ears.

The materials used are all natural and eco-friendly. The earrings are made from wood, coconut, and salvaged bone and horn. The bone and horn used to hand-carve these tribal earrings are from a domesticated water buffalo utilized for cultivation and food. To minimize waste, they are respectfully used for this form of art and income.

#8 Dark Cycle Clothing

Dark Cycle Clothing was founded by husband and wife team Coryn and Adam in 2009. Adam and Coryn have been playing around with designing t-shirts since they were teenagers in love bringing their late-night design creations to the local screen-printer and peddling them in batches of 20 at local punk rock shows. Eventually they bought a press of their own and began printing for local businesses in Tampa, Florida.

The concept for Dark Cycle began with Adam thinking up quirky animal on bike designs while making his 17-mile bike ride to work. Eventually, he screenprinted the designs up on some extra t-shirts and they generated quite a bit of interest every time they were worn. After some friendly nudging from Adam for longer than Coryn cares to admit she posted the shirts up at darkcycleclothing.etsy.com and the next three years became a blur of chasing their little ones around, while tirelessly designing, printing, packing and shipping Dark Cycle shirts to every corner of the world.

#5 Grace & Lace

In the spring of 2010 founder Melissa Hinnant was five months pregnant with a little girl. At a routine doctor's visit, she was suddenly told the devastating news that without surgical intervention she would give birth to their daughter within 24 hours - and that she wouldn't survive. She was rushed into emergency surgery to try to save her, and then there she was, laying horizontal in the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy. The days of strict, confined bed rest were extremely long. She couldn't even sit up, she just had to do something with her hands! So she started with a vision to crochet her tiny baby girl a blanket. And thus started and spurred her desire to sew, sew, sew.

For two weeks she lived in the hospital until doctors could no longer stop the labor. Their very tiny but oh-so-perfect baby girl was born. With lungs not yet developed enough to survive on her own, the Lord took her straight to Heaven.

Though heart-wrenching and devastating, Melissa truly believes that out of this great tragedy has come their greatest victory.

Her love for sewing, and all things knit grew. Late in the fall of 2011, she made her first pair of lacey leg warmers. Everywhere she went, people would stop and ask her where she got them. She put them up for sale online and in a matter of days she was overwhelmed with orders and could not possibly fulfill them on her own. Now, almost 3 years later, they have sold over 100,000 pairs of lacey, frilly boot socks and leg warmers. They have grown so rapidly that they have now evolved into an official company with trademarked designs, a full studio and warehouse, and friends and family as staff.
