Holiday Gift Guides!

It's December and time to start thinking about the holidays. Never too early to get started on your holiday shopping/creating - and searching on Etsy means avoiding those overly crowded malls. This year I'm trying to shop locally, buy handmade and save where I can - because it's the thought that counts in the end.

So I've compiled a few Etsy gift guides with you folks in mind. Enjoy!

First up is a local gift guide - with some great Portland, Oregon shops:
