Today’s shoppers are prioritizing meaningful gifts for the people they love,” Etsy trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson says. “The beauty of Etsy is that shoppers are buying from real people and can oftentimes work directly with a maker to customize their item and create a one-of-a-kind, heartfelt gift made just for Mom, all while supporting small businesses.”
