Shopping ideas

In reporting this week's cover story, I made heavy use of the website Etsy.com. It was my first time surfing Etsy at length, and I have to admit I'm pretty impressed.

Without tipping my hand too much, I can tell you that Etsy is an online marketplace for handmade goods. It launched about two years ago, and features crafts and artwork from around the globe. One of my favs were homemade Greek coffee candles, made out of the ubiquotous cups spotted all over New York City. You can find beautiful sweaters, T-shirts, prints, etc. I believe I will be doing the bulk of my Christmas shopping on Etsy this year.
