I took the Handmade pledge (let’s hope “handmade” doesn’t actually mean made with my own hands) for Christmas shopping, so I’ve been poking around on these sites:

•  jewelry from Chocolate and Steel
• bracelets from  Jingle Jangle 
• a monster or two from Kokoleo
• a fleece hat with ears from Kitsune
• mixed media art from Kate Treik
• project kits from Pintsize projects
• sock monkeys.

If you have a favorite site of handmade goods, please leave it in comments. I’m particularly in need of handmade gifts for men. Not that all men like the same things, but I need handmade things for men who like music, men who like political science, and men who are terribly preoccupied with the weather. Those men.
