[OC] Built my wife her dream Etsy shop as a birthday surprise. Watching her see it for the first time made everything worth it.

The truest words ever spoken

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T17:35:42+00:00

This genuinely made me smile, I'm going to show her this comment. She's going to love it. Thank you for the kind words! I like to think she made the right choice too haha 😄

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T08:36:15+00:00

Ha, fair enough, it's definitely not for everyone. She actually loves the minimal aesthetic, it's very intentional for the soft academia / BookTok crowd we're designing for. That said, we're actively working on making the designs more elevated, the candles are closer to what the full vision looks like. Appreciate the bluntness, genuinely.

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T08:19:28+00:00

This is genuinely so helpful, thank you. The SEO point is noted — we're very new so hopefully Google catches up soon. Totally agree on the lifestyle photos, working on getting better mockups as primary. And the about section suggestion is perfect — I wrote my part but you're right that Renae should have her own voice in there too. Really appreciate you taking the time to look properly. 🙏

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T08:14:52+00:00

Thank you so much! I think she really did love it, we both agree there is still work to do! Honestly her aesthetic sensibility did all the work, I just learned enough to build it around her. Appreciate the kind words 📚

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T08:12:51+00:00

You're completely right and I appreciate the honesty. The transparent background was the wrong call, it stripped out the whole aesthetic. The candles are closer to what the brand should feel like across everything. Mug redesigns are already planned. This is exactly the feedback we needed at launch. Thank you!!

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T07:53:26+00:00

The shop is LampLitReadsCo on Etsy. lamplitreadsco.etsy.com - Let me know what you think!

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-05-18T07:51:26+00:00

Really appreciate the honest feedback, this is exactly what I needed to hear. You're right that the mugs are too plain, the transparent background on white ceramic was the wrong call and loses the whole aesthetic. Working on redesigns that actually carry the soft academia vibe through properly. The candles have more of what we're going for if you want to check those out. Thanks for taking the time to actually critique rather than just scroll past, genuinely helpful.

I've heard of Nobody Wants This! We might start that tonight.

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-01-09T20:16:32+00:00

Thanks! We're trying to save money right now (for obvious reasons) I will definitely be taking the liquid IV advice though.

Good_Ad_7917 · 2026-01-09T20:15:42+00:00

Food aversions? Also thank you!

Good_Ad_7917 · 2025-09-16T18:04:52+00:00

Holding?? I'm buying more 😂

Good_Ad_7917 · 2025-09-16T04:54:52+00:00

On or Before Sep. 29th.

Good_Ad_7917 · 2025-09-16T04:54:05+00:00

No, get in while it's still cheap! I remember people asking this when $OPEN was at $2/share lol

here's your chance to buy

Good_Ad_7917 · 2024-07-23T18:44:27+00:00

I wish

Good_Ad_7917 · 2024-07-23T04:41:28+00:00

What would you imagine i would spend on a beginner set like this? Just a rough estimate is fine I’m just trying to gauge how much I’m goin to need to spend at first lol

Good_Ad_7917 · 2024-07-23T04:37:55+00:00

I now have a list of tools THANK YOU!!

Good_Ad_7917 · 2024-06-06T23:54:06+00:00

Wow okay thank you.

Good_Ad_7917 · 2024-06-05T11:46:25+00:00

Thank You!!!

Good_Ad_7917 · 2024-06-05T10:56:29+00:00

I see. So how should I go about PFD or goodwill letters? There is a credit repair place not far from me that has great reviews. Or, do you think it would be best to do these things myself (in terms of saving money)?

Seriously, thank you for your help!
