How we earn

Our affiliate disclosure — plainly explained.

Gifts Worth Keeping is free to read and has no paywall or sponsored posts. To keep it that way, some of the links on this site are affiliate links.

What that means

When you click an affiliate link and then buy something, the shop or marketplace may pay us a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone there directly.

We currently take part in the Etsy affiliate program, so many of our links to handmade and vintage items on Etsy are affiliate links. We may join other programs in the future; this page will always list them.

What it doesn't mean

  • We are not paid to write about anything. No shop or brand can buy a place in an article or a gift guide.
  • Commission doesn't decide what we recommend. We choose items and makers on quality, materials, care and value, and we'll happily point you to things we earn nothing from.
  • We don't publish fake reviews. We won't claim to have tested something we haven't. Our guides explain what to look for so you can judge for yourself.

Cookies
