A stumbler (StumbleUpon user) who goes by the nom de SU of Erinoia had a grand idea recently to direct folks past the big, impersonal chain stores to do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their own homes by browsing the goods offered by some of the creative users in the StumbleUpon community. This is a result of her inspired idea. A growing list of clever, creative types offering for sale the sparks of their dreams made real by the labor of their hands. For you, dear reader, I present "Stumbler Crafted With Love". Feel free to browse these sites and link your friends and family here for gift ideas from the heart with the personal touch you won't find at the local Monster-Mega-Mart.
