It's Time for the Summer 2010 Etsy Baby Shower

We’re pleased to announce that the time has come for another Etsy Baby Shower!

The Etsy Baby Shower tradition was started more than 3 years ago. Since then, the Etsy Baby Shower has occurred several times a year! For this shower, your hosts will be Jessica from BuggaLove and Deniz from DecorativeLabels. We would be so grateful if you would consider participating in the Summer 2010 Etsy Baby Shower!

Donating shops must be willing to donate a gift(s) free of charge, including shipping, to the mom(s) they are assigned. In the past we have included any shop that makes baby items. This is not a team event and you do not have to be a member of a team to donate a gift for this shower. Everyone is welcome!

HOW TO SIGN UP...
If you want to participate as a donating shop, please reply to this email with the following information:

1. Your name, Etsy shop name, and email address
2. How many moms would you like to donate to?
3. Do you have a gender preference for your gift (s)?
4. What country are you in?
5. Can you ship internationally?

Many of the showers have had the continued support of the same shops each time and we applaud you for your unending generosity. We hope that you’ll be able to participate again and are looking forward to hearing from you.

OUR GOAL...
For the Summer 2010 Etsy Baby Shower, we would like to give gifts to 20 moms who are due between May 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010 and our goal is to provide 4 gifts to each mom. That means we need to raise 80 donated gifts!

IN OTHER NEWS...
We are looking for one (or possibly more) new hosts. Due to personal reasons, this will be Jessica’s last baby shower! She has enjoyed hosting over the past year and is sorry to be unable to continue with this responsibility. If you are interested in becoming a host for the Fall 2010 Etsy Baby Shower please contact us at etsybabyshower@gmail.com

SPREAD THE WORD...
Unfortunately, we will not be able to use the Etsy forums to help get the word out about the Etsy Baby Shower to moms and shops who might be interested. In the past, the forums have accounted for 40-50% of our participants. We would greatly appreciate it if you would forward this information, or our blog link, to any shops and expecting moms who you think might be eligible and interested in participating in the Etsy Baby Shower.
