Etsy Chai is an international co-op of Jewish artists who sell their Judaica, jewelry, vintage items and handcrafts on Etsy. There are some absolutely breathtaking pieces, which highlight the diversity of Jewish cultural traditions around the world.
I’ve been working with Etsy Chai for the past week to line up this KOAB Chanukah Giveaway and I’m super excited about it. FIVE of Etsy Chai’s artists want to share their stunning handmade pieces with my amazing Kosher on a Budget readers. With five pieces to give away, five of you will be winners!
So, let’s take a look at what this giveaway includes:
1. Another Creation is the creative outlet of Michelle from Stamford, CT and she produces the most breathtaking prints, cards, handheld mirrors, personal journals and more. I know art is a subjective thing, but *I* love her style! You know I’m digging this pomegranate (shown here as the design for a set of greeting cards).
One KOAB reader will win a $15 store credit to Another Creation to pick the item of their choice! Check out her site – there are a bevvy of options! And for all of my readers, she is offering a Buy One-Get One 50% off discount on any her prints. Use the code KOAB18 in the seller notes.
2. Linda B, from Chicago, creates one-of-a-kind, handbeaded gemstone and glass pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings and more. Personally, I’m loving these sweet silver and blue lapis earrings — perfect for Chanukah, don’t you think? Can you believe they are just $11.22?
One KOAB reader will win a $15 store credit to Linda B’s shop to select the piece of your choice. Even if you don’t win, though, I’m thinking these sweet sivivonim might make a perfect gift for a special young lady in your life.
3. BBDesigns is a Kansas-trained artist (hiya!) who creates gorgeous handmade papers, cards, wine charms and journals. I’m really loving her wine charms… they are so… charming!
One KOAB reader will win a set of Chanukah cards from BBDesigns. Plus she’s offering all of my readers a 10% discount off her entire line when you use the code KOAB18 in the notes to seller section.
4. From Olympia, Washington, Leslie specializes in making charms from fiber, fabric, beads — and anything else she can get her hands on. After living in Israel for many years, I am especially drawn to her hamsot.
One KOAB reader will win a set of charms of their choosing from Leslie, perfect for handmade gift tags or bracelets. Plus any reader who places a minimum $25 order from Leslie’s shop will receive a free set of charms when they enter the code KOAB18 in the notes to the seller section.
5. Anjali Creations draws from diverse cultural, ethnic and geographic backgrounds to create breathtaking one-of-a-kind creations that range from jewelry to mezuzot to greeting cards. I like so many of Anjali’s creations, but my favorite is definitely this cobalt blue wrapped bracelet. Drool.
One KOAB reader will win an $18 gift certificate to Anjali Creations to pick the piece that makes them drool!
So there you have it my dear readers. Five one-of-a-kind prizes for my one-of-a-kind audience! If you would like to throw your hat into the ring for a chance to win one of these five goodies, leave up to three separate comments for three chances to win.

I’d love a warm weather getaway. A cruise in the winter would be a terrific gift.
Hi-
My dream Hanukkah present right now would be a full time job in elementary education. I have been unemployed for five years and it is getting tougher and tougher just to make ends meet. Once I have that, my dream present is to find my chassun and be blessed with a family with him.
May the lights of the Hanukkah candles bring joy to your home and heart. May they inspire you to do many mitzvot!
My dream Chanukah gift… Where to start? A gift card to bodenusa.com which is a site that has GREAT modest skirts. It is a little pricey, however. They usually have decent sales at the end of the season and if you order through ebates you can save a little more.
I love Etsy! Who knew there was EtsyChai? This may be a problem for me…
A very cool shopping site!
Hmm, a dream Chanuka gift? How about a nice romantic getaway for me and the husband with no obligations to anyone. Mmm, that would be nice.
Thank you for letting me know about Esty Chai. Now I have a new resource for buying bat-mitzvah, birthday and wedding gifts.
I would like a gift certificate to a clothing store whose products I like, but don’t normally buy ’cause I deem it too expensive. Gap, Anthropologie, etc.
(FYI, You’ve been on my RSS feed to Google Reader for a month ;))
My dream Chanukah gift would be a trip back to Israel….. while I have loved going back with my husband and kids, and above all else, I would just love to move back there to live… in the meantime, I would settle for a trip there, alone, to go and explore some of my most favorire places. The Old City, Tzfat, Ein Gedi, and the list goes on and on! Mara, thanks for all the fun stuff you offer up on your site!!

Ooooh, such nice things. Thank you. My fantasy Chanukah present (and I can’t say world peace, right?) is probably a trip to Israel… or Hawaii… with my family!

I subscribed to your blog and Etsy’s today. Dream gift would be being able to stay home with Baby #2 (on the way)!
Thank you for providing this great resource to all of us.
Shabbat shalom!
My dream Chanukah gift would be time to work on my qualifying exam uninterrupted while my husband is with my infant daughter. In general, life is pretty rich for me these days, though, so no complaints!
I subscribe to K on a B’s RSS feed.

My dream Chanukah gift would be to spend it together as a family. We are relocating, and since we can’t move into our new home (hooray!) before hubby starts his job he has to go ahead of us.
I have some extravagant dreams too, but right now this one is the sweetest. Next year, for sure!
