Buying Things on the Internet

I went to the site etsy. It is basically selling really neat handmade articles. I like that you can look for local sellers. The level of sophistication of things for sale are a far cry from the handmade things of yesteryear (Think crochet toilet paper roll covers, etc.). I think I might use the site; I don't Christmas shop really -- but I could see myself buyijng something for someone's birthday. Maybe I will just paint them a picture or something.
