I’ve been looking on etsy for a potential extra v-day gift for the girlfriend but I get the feeling so much on there now is just drop shipped stuff from aliexpress instead of actual small creators. Everything gives me a suspicious vibe

Online shopping is getting harder cause of that shit. Though, I did take a gamble on a t-shirt for the boyo recently from an unknown (made to order) site and it arrived earlier and looks fucking glorious.

I buy things from ali express all the time but I buy things that are either traditional, like calligraphy supplies, or simple things , like the buttons I bought yesterday or a scarf
everything else, bricks and mortar,

My whole thing is… if I’ve spent the money, I want it nowwww. I don’t want any delays or dramas or mishaps (funny given my business). If I have to drive across town to get it in person and I will - I will!! Online is a last resort.
Unless it’s Korean Make up. That I’ll fly across the globe for.
