My mother is alive &amp; kicking, but Mother’s Day ads are rough for me to take because they assume a very different relationship than I have with my mom. I can never remember if Angie’s ode to her mom is right before or right after Mother’s Day, but I try to avoid it too. I think others do as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247719 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 03:38:08 +0000 Anonymous 2247719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a good idea. &nbsp;I have not had these opt out options from Etsy, but would love to opt out of Mothers and Fathers Day and would advise anyone who has lost a parent to do this. &nbsp;All the hype is hard to take. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247652 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 18:23:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2247652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaPed, that’s a great use of this stuff! My son had a pink &amp; purple striped Hannah that he loved. </p> <p>SarahD8, as mom of a kid with no dad in sight, I would love to be able to spare him pain by blocking Fathers Day from social media—and from schools! </p> <p>Cat2, peeps are our favorite part! We like to try to find ways to destroy them. Check out “peep science” online—it’s fun.</p> <p>On S. A. D. —someone clearly doesn’t quite get the vibe! <a href="https://www.insider.com/why-singles-awareness-day-shouldnt-exist-2019-2?amp" rel="nofollow">https://www.insider.com/why-si.....2019-2?amp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247638 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 17:28:16 +0000 cat2 2247638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! Sometimes a marketing cycle can just be a massive annoyance. I would cheerily skip all the Easter marketing, including the Peeps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247632 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 17:05:16 +0000 LaPed 2247632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Etsy is onto something. When I receive marketing materials that ick me out in some way, I typically unsubscribe altogether. Being able to give feedback on what specific types of ads you don’t want to see seems like it would benefit the advertiser and the consumer. </p> <p>We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day in my house, beyond taking advantage of sale-priced candy and making cards for DS's teachers and classmates. That said, DS loves colours in the pink family, and he loves heart motifs, so I often make a point of shopping the Valentine's collections that kid's clothing companies like Hanna Andersson and Primary usually release this time of year. I’m happy to receive the V Day marketing for that stuff and try to tune out the associated values/norms.   </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247630 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:58:10 +0000 SarahD8 2247630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Etsy also does this for Mother's Day (and maybe Father's Day too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247617 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:33:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2247617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I eat chocolate all winter long! Sometimes I think Valentine’s merch is annoying crap, other times the ads lead to unhappy/unhealthy analyses of relationships. I’m happy to let all that go!</p> <p>Carla, that is excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247616 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:32:32 +0000 Carla 2247616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The DS’s call it ‘Single Awareness Day’. &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247614 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:29:37 +0000 rachylou 2247614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What?! Lol, that makes me giggle. Valentine’s is a torture, too soon after Christmas for me for more present buying, but still… now that Etsy has said this… all of a sudden I like my box of chocolates </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opting-out-of-valentines#post-2247598 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 15:38:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2247598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Etsy just emailed me this option; one click gets you out of at least their portion of the annual bombardment. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that option before; have you? </p>
