If you've been thinking about snagging some goodies from my Etsy shop for the holidays, I’ve got the best sale of the year running now, with 30% off everything until Monday.

Christmas delivery order cutoffs: U.S. Dec. 5th, Canada Dec. 10th.

I 3D print and build all kinds of cool fidget toys. I also offer a range of figures, decor, and storage containers.

I can’t help but feel disheartened seeing this on my Etsy dashboard:

I’m down 50% in sales from last month. It’s because of tariffs/trade war forcing me to turn off all shipping to the U.S. - I’m not alone in this, it’s affecting thousands of Canadian businesses. 🇨🇦

I worked so hard over the last year to turn my shop into a success. I have 280+ 5-star reviews, and have sold over 1.1k items. I was on track to be able to independently support myself. As a disabled person, this hits even harder. It’s incredibly difficult to support ourselves in this economy.

I’m honestly heartbroken.
