Shopping

Updated 11/30: I was remiss in not including charities. Always give to the ones of your own choosing, but these are a few of my favorites.

I have purchased from many of these shops. For the ones that are out of my cash flow league, I have gotten ideas for other gifts. Many have free shipping, but purchase as soon as possible. I found a gift a few months ago that I put off buying and now it’s sold out. :sigh:

This list doesn’t include obvious links like Amazon or easily accessible brick and mortar like Macy’s.

Cassandra also had a great list of non-profit stuff for us to pick from last year. A good gift idea is to get someone a membership to the local parks, museum, save-a-whale programs or even a donation to your local animal shelter. Go over and ask her for local Massachusetts details if you are looking for ideas.
