Get excited- they will be doing a great giveaway here in coming soon! The girls also have an awesome blog called Bettencourt Chase where they asked me to guest post with a tutorial and giveaway! SO- go check them out and you could win one of my crocheted headbands! OR- if you're not into giveaways....I guest posted a NEW tutorial that wont show up here for a few days, so if you want the secret new tutorial- go check it out!
In addition- I have a question for you all! My etsy has started to grow...which I'm so excited about!! But- I have a dilemma!
-I pride myself on fast shipping, and reasonably prices products.
But there is a cost to this-
- I dont ship as "pretty" as most people. I reuse boxes- anything I can find. Usually no cutesy bows etc.
So here is my question to you- would you rather recieve an item at a higher cost that is wrapped pretty, sent in a nice post box. Or cheaper postage, but arrives as less of a "ta-dah!" The product is the same-- but the price and the packaging is just different.
There is my question for you! I've put a poll up on the top to see how you all vote! THANKS!

I think I prefer lower price. I don't really care what the outside box looks like. It's always nice to find the actual item wrapped nicely though - but it doesn't necessarily have to be anything fancy.
when wrapping items maybe wrap them in something cheap, but uniform (butcher paper comes to mind)- then rubber stamp the outside of the paper (you could even get your own stamp made for cheap)! as a geologist/etsy shop owner, I utilize interesting paper around me to wrap items in- old geologic maps. :)

I would prefer the cheaper option personally. If you have the time and effort to do that, great. But it would never be a deal breaker for me.
I love the feedback! Thank you!
I guess I should have specified. I'm talking my big bulky hangers that I sell to brides. I should have been specific. They dont fit nicely in a little box or wrapped cute, unless I find nice post boxes.
Does that change anyone's mind?
As a past bride, I would say the cheaper the better! Haha! As long as the product is the same, I don't think it matters what the package looks like!
Oh man, I am the queen of reusing boxes. I also hoard the heck out of them because I refuse to buy boxes at the post office. I have sent little apologies to friends along with the boxes sometimes bc they are a little rough looking. So basically, I love reusing boxes and wouldn't even think twice about getting a regular old box with something awesome inside. :D
