Supermarket and Etsy

October 31, 2008

Earlier this week we wrote about Instructables, and today, we decided that we should give a shout out to some other community-based web destinations that are just as fun and useful for producers and consumers of everything and anything. First off, Supermarket offers “Great stuff. Straight from designers.” The shop offers people the opportunity to sell things including apparel, jewelry, furniture, toys, prints and so much more. It’s trendy, unique, handmade, a bit more expensive, and sure to get you noticed.

Second on the slate, and another personal fave of HC2′s is Etsy. Now Etsy works the same way as Supermarket, carrying the say variety of items, but they go way beyond and sell things such as handmade soap, preserves, and even pet costumes. With a huge stress on handmade goods, Etsy also hits home with their gift guides for him, her, or by occasion, and even price range. They also have a very nifty application that lets you search for local craftspeople with items on Etsy, thereby allowing you to buy from and support locals. Check it.
