Before you run through the malls and plaza or donate your credit card to Lands End Overstock, consider buying your holiday gifts from people like us--crafty folks trying to make a living doing what they do.
SusanStars has some pretty jewelry and purses.
Craftastic is retro-cool.
And I can think of a couple people I'd like to buy a tampon doll for.
Check out the artisans linked off of I Buy D.I.Y. and bless a nethead this holiday season.
Thanks to Kiki for pointing out the site.
