with gifts that click.
What better way to show someone you care than with a homemade gift? This might be a no-brainer for the craft-inclined, but if the thought of a glue stick or knitting needles makes you cringe, fear not; we have compiled a list of our favorite local Etsy.com shops to help you give the perfect handcrafted gift. Even if it was made by someone else. •

| Orange Twist: In an age in which typeface rules, it’s always refreshing to receive a handwritten note. Bold colors, delightful graphics and pop-art sensibility make these card sets a joy to give and receive. |

| CountingStitches: Hats, gloves and scarves, oh my! All you need to stay warm this winter is hand-knitted and available in a variety of colors. Bring on the cold. |
