I love buying gifts. Some people, I realize, don’t. It’s a chore, it’s a mystery, it’s a pain in your butt. But here’s a good rule of thumb: If you find something so fantastic that you’re tempted to keep it for yourself, it’s probably a good gift.<\/p>\n
That’s why I think the online shops below are so wonderful. I’d just as easily buy something for myself from every single one of them. Of course, that’s not what Christmas shopping is about.<\/p>\n
