Etsy Bicycle Gift Guide Revisited

Just checked my last year's Holiday Etsy Bicycle themed Gift Guide Part I and Part II. Item after item sold out! Some bicycle gift lovers and givers really gave some support to Etsy artisans and crafters!

I considered doing another bicycle themed gift guide. Voila...Here is a link you can use to start your own bicycle themed search. There are 5,468 items on Etsy to peruse. Last year when I made my list there were around 600 items to look through. Wow... 5,468 bicycle gift items on Etsy this year!!! AMAZING...

Don't you love how things 'catch on'. A good idea always get imitated and what better and sincere compliment can there be!

NorthHampton / England……A muppet Christmas Dickens is the current theme for the Bicycle Basket Bazaar, which is taking place 2 more times this December 13th and 20^th.

This looks to be the loveliest bicycle event! I just love it, and please visit the website. The whole concept is just so charming.

****note: I just noticed that StyleHive now requires you to join, in order to view the bicycle chic themed page I created for you. Sorry and my apologies. Before you were simply able to view the page before deciding if you wanted to join or not.

p.s. I was going to upload photos for each and every item listed here, but that was really a huge job. So take my word for it these are great finds and you just have to go look for yourself!!

Discover It!... My List of Bicycle Chic Products Galore! …StyleHive

A lot of people don’t get the StyleHive feature button I’ve placed on this blog. “What’s it for?” I get asked.

Let me count the ways! If you are looking for just about anything bicycle (chic) related, you’ve just got to check it out. I’ve listed so many categories (I blogged this before in a prior post), but really take my word and check it out!

If you ‘follow me’ in the hive you’ll get wind of new listings…wonderful things! Now you can so easily find ‘bicycle chic’ all in one place. Receive new listing updates from me at Stylehive if you want by requesting it. Or just check back here on this blog and I will keep you informed too.

Another oft asked question I get is;” Why do you bother to do it?” IT’S FOR YOU. A GIFT. I myself, want to feel really smashing, stylish, cute, (and a zillion more adjectives) when I bicycle. I’m sharing with you my favorite finds.

Then comes this amusing little question/observation; “What, you don’t get anything for doing it? Followed by…”You should make a little extra on the side…..”

So let me know/email me. For now it’s a labor of love, one I really do love to do!!

Shopper’s Alert: THE Best Bicycle Chic Product Finds

I’ve culled an amazing assortment of bicycle chic products for you to savor and take a look at.

You get a photo of the product, the price, my editorialized description of the product and (in most cases) a direct link to the ‘buy it now’ button …and then it’s yours!

I’ve listed almost 30 products (and growing) in lots of categories. Things with prices ranging from $5.00 bicycle ankle cuffs to $$$ for Parisian Hotel accommodations which includes an incredible chic bicycle plus bicycle valet service.

My dilemma. I debated a long time if I wanted to showcase these products on this blog. I’ve been saving my best finds forever! I decided to make it simple; visually organized, easy, appealing and really handy for you.

Some categories I’ve listed; bicycles, bicycles skirts, helmets, gloves, baskets, basket liners, bags, jackets, goggles, steamers, bells, and more!

Enjoy…
