Etsy's Handmade Blog
Shop Live With Design for Mankind: November 4, 2009

It's time to get a jump-start on your holiday shopping, and we all know what that means — gift guides galore! I'm here to help you score the perfect present for everyone on your list: from your nerdy, tech-obsessed older brother to your oh-so-hard-to-please in-laws! Pop by this live shopping event in Etsy's Virtual Labs next Wednesday and you'll spot some of Etsy's best affordable (and giveable) gifts to keep you — and your recipients — smiling all year long. Happy shopping!

When? Wednesday, November 4 at 7 p.m. ET (Click here to calculate your local time.) Note: The Virtual Labs doors won't open until exactly 7 p.m. ET!

Where? Etsy's fun and interactive online meeting space, the Virtual Labs. Remember the Virtual Labs only holds 150 people — so make sure to be on time. All you'll need to attend is an Etsy account — register here!

Who? Freelance writer Erin Loechner will be our host! Erin launched award-winning blog Design for Mankind in mid-2007 in an attempt to bring light to the inspiration found in today’s creative culture. Her work has been featured in ReadyMade, Glamour, Dwell, Lucky and Nylon, and Erin's design musings can be found throughout the web on popular AOL blogs ShelterPop and Holidash.

Want a sneak peek? Check out the Design for Mankind Gift Guide and make sure you're signed up for our Etsy Finds mailing list to get advance picks directly to your inbox next Wednesday, November 4.
