Shopping
( 23/07/14 ) I keep some shopping lists over on Amazon because it's an easy way to find and organize items I'm looking for. For now, I'm just copying those list over here for posterity. In an effort to cut out the middle-man, I do try and support the vendors directly if they have their own e-commerce available.

- 24/12/13 - seems I only use this around the holidays. this time I needed to make a list for our annual bag of goodies. We like to buy everyone the same gift for Christmas. Last year it was heated matress pads and we're going back to food this year.
- 23/12/08 - Just wrapped the online holiday shopping. And because I just finished, I realized that in an effort aforementioned effort to skirt the middleman, I need to add a list of vendors I like. While everyone likes to tout sustainability, the best thing to do is buy local, buy used, or don't buy anything at all.
