It’s true — not every small business operates ethically, honestly, or reliably. But when you choose to support the ones that do, instead of defaulting to large corporations, you’re doing more than just making a purchase — you're helping someone who genuinely cares about their work and their customers.

Small business owners often put a great deal of love and attention into every order. From careful packaging to thoughtful touches, your purchase is treated with the highest level of care. In my own print and illustration business, I always strive to go the extra mile: prompt processing, timely deliveries, and little surprises included wherever possible. Every order is personal to me — it's not just business, it's something I take pride in.

Before I transitioned away from Etsy, I had fulfilled over 300 orders and received more than 150 glowing reviews. That feedback meant the world to me because I know what it feels like to be on the other side of the transaction — as a customer, you want to feel like your order matters. That’s exactly the kind of experience I aim to provide.

So yes, supporting ethical small businesses can lead to good karma — not just because you're helping someone chase their dream, but because you're choosing quality, care, and connection.
