Chicago-Style Etsy

I must confess - Etsy is going to be the death of me (or actually my checkbook). Unfortunately, if I am not reading all the lovely wedding blogs out there, I am on Etsy. After reading Tina's very cool discovery of possible Welcome "Chicago themed" totes for her out of town guests, I decided to see if there were any really cool Chicago gifts on Etsy. I think some of these would be perfect for welcome gift additions or even bridal party gifts.

Chicago EL Magnets! How cool are these? And she even does buttons!

I think including one recipe in your welcome gift of any local food is a great idea - and how neat would this be to include the Chicago Hot Dog and exactly what ingredients are included!

Or maybe your guests will need these little notepads in their welcome gifts?...

The Chicagoland notecards for your thank you cards?

I am loving the Chicago photos coasters. It looks like the artist also has several other Chicago landmarks that you can pick and choose from!

This was actually my favorite - the Chicago streets art canvas - and I ended up purchasing it for a friend's bridal shower gift. But it actually might just end up lost (...on the wall in my home).

Despite getting married several miles aways from downtown Chicago - this city means a lot to my fiance and I. It is where we met and I so want to include something as a memento to our guests.
