Drew Barrymore is an actress, producer, talk show host and expert gift-giver. On her show The Drew Barrymore Show, she regularly shares gift ideas and tips with her audience, and on her website, she goes so far as to publish categorized lists to make everyday and holiday gift shopping that much easier. And now, she’s doing the same with Etsy. After noticing her love of the brand and impressive knowledge of great gifts, the handmade and vintage e-commerce site selected her as the first-ever Chief Gifting Officer.

“As Etsy’s first Chief Gifting Officer, I’m thrilled to show Etsy shoppers how easy and joyful it is to make the people in their lives feel special through the perfect gift,” Drew said in a statement announcing her new role.

To kick things off, ahead, you’ll find 30 Etsy gift ideas with Drew’s stamp of approval.
