I spent Black Friday shopping for American Girl doll clothing online, and a Google search led me to Etsy, the online crafter’s marketplace. Once I was done shopping for my daughter, I decided to plug “Champaign-Urbana” into that site’s search engine.
The results were both surprising and hilarious. If you’re looking for a quirky gift for your favorite Chambanan, Etsy is the place for you.
Here are a few of my favorite finds:
Sold by RainyDayArt, this is a 2.25 inch magnet made with a navigational chart that was used by a pilot. It shows the Champaign-Urbana Illinois area.
This cool pendant with a map of Illinois shows Champaign, Springfield and Decaur, and sells for $19 from SkinnersStudio.
Another super-cute pendant, this one by BeBopMoon. Surprise your Central Illinois fan with this necklace for just $14. A great stocking stuffer or Hanukkah gift.
And last but not least, a switchplate covered with a vintage map of the Champaign-Urbana area, from Creativeordinary:
So there you have it. A veritable cornucopia of Chambana Etsy goodness. Enjoy!
