Online shopping
Pretty much the most brilliant invention of the modern era. I hate being out there in the crowds and craziness. Especially now that I have a very curious toddler. I just can't imagine trying to do C'mas shopping on foot. So *click* Amazon order which takes care of two people and E's big present from us, a wooden tool set.
Amazon is a no-brainer, but have you tried Etsy.com. Hundreds of fine artisans listing their wares. Do something different: buy handmade!!
I do intend to open an Etsy shop one of these days, and hopefully that will happen sometime before the rapture. I just can't get from under the mound of gifts or stuff I want/need to sew for my house.
I'm buying these crayons from this seller for Ellis, my alphabet-obsessed boy.
A couple of friends have shops:
* Check Luv Lugs. She makes really cute stuff with reused materials. Brilliant.
* And it looks like new eyes has got some watercolors listed. Cheers to her and her metro show. Yea, I know an artist in real life.

Jeannette,
Hi! I am so glad to hear that your sweet son, Ellis, as an alphabet-obsessed boy! That means he has developed pre-literacy skills and recognizing that letters have its own meaning! For this age, it is a very, very promising thing! It means he is very comfortable with print and making associations with print, fingerspelling and sounds!
Congratulations for nurturing your wonderful child!
Warmest,
Amy Cohen Efron
