Be sure to check out Etsy and Artfire. These are great places to find gifts. They have such a large and diverse selection of handmade items from artisan's all over the world. And the prices for the most part are very good. When you buy something handmade or an original piece of art you are getting something that can be handed down in your family through generations. Don't think of them as being something cute and homemade made buy "Aunt Lucy" to be put in a closet until she visits (shame on you). These are artist that are pouring their hearts into their work (and it isn't easy for us to let these items go) . But go in and browse the shoppes and you will be hooked. Ordering is easy too. I have always received my orders in no more then a week. I'm not just saying all this because I want you to look in my shoppe,(but you can?) but I truly believe if you don't window shop in these sites you will be missing a lot. And if you are an artisan, join us. You won't be sorry. And if "Aunt Lucy's afghans are really pretty set up a shop FOR her if she isn't computer savy. She may sell alot and then you would get a bigger and better Christmas present this year. These are low maintenance shops, so you wouldn't have to give up poker nite.
