Amazon Handmade Gift Shop goes live

Amazon has launched the Amazon Handmade Gift Shop. “This takes the stress out of shopping for gifts by providing thousands of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted gifts with the convenience and trust that customers already love about Amazon,” says Katie Harnetiaux, Amazon Handmade. “Every item on Amazon Handmade has a story behind it – and after hearing from customers and artisans, we are thrilled to make gift shopping an experience they will look forward to.”

Since launching in 2015, Amazon Handmade has grown to encompass 10 categories (e.g. Home & Kitchen, Stationary and Party Supplies,) offering customers hundreds of thousands of handcrafted items from thousands of artisans across more than 30 countries. In addition to the Handmade Gift Shop, the venture recently launched new categories including Clothing & Shoes and Pets Supplies.
