I was doing some Etsy browsing last night and came across all of these awesome golden gifts. Metallic accents are an easy way to make a simple item feel special, and the picks below manage to add shimmer without going overboard.

All of these items are cute, reasonably priced and – best of all – made or collected by independent artists. Sometimes I just can’t remember what it was like to do holiday shopping without Etsy..
