i bought a pair of hydrangea petal earrings for my mom for christmas last year. she loved them.
etsy is a great resource for buying local -- i ended up doing most of my christmas shopping there last year, and 75 percent of those gifts were from local crafters!

My finance loves to buy local crafts, especially at many of the nice places in Hamden. There are much more original and look great.
