Shop Small Businesses!

Starting up a list of small businesses offering cool stuff for your holiday shopping needs.

1. Red Robin Arts, the artist who made my amazing awesome canes is having a sale at her Etsy shop this weekend. Gorgeous masks, mostly with fantasy and/or animal themes. She takes commissions, too, obviously.

2.
Off World Designs specializes in geek apparel, but they also have a couple of different bags. I purchased their Bag of Holding backpack recently. Sturdy, spacious backpack with some pretty useful pockets. When I asked for better pictures, I got a fast, personal response. And then they put up ten new pictures for me, covering different angles and features. The same bag is available with different embroidery (they do custom embroidery, too) as the "Handy Haversack." They also do a messenger bag. Use coupon code 13holiday to get 20% off through January.

3. Kitchen Overlord has geek-themed recipes. She sells recipes in poster and book format. The Kindle Edition of "Wood For Sheep" (Settlers of Catan themed cookbook) is free for a limited time!

What else ya got?

Oh good. More!

4. Handmade jewelry from Greece! And she's having a sale this weekend, too. 15% off.

5. Orchard Works makes (magic) wands of all shapes and varieties, and takes custom orders.

6. And here's a whole big links roundup from last year.

7. And how could I forget Star Cats Toys? Geek-themed cat toys galore!

... I am just now going through my network and this post caught my eye because I actually went to school with Red Robin at one point, and she made my Huntress mask. But my further commenting was precipitated by OFF WORLD DESIGNS HAS MY NERD-INTELLECTUAL BADASS SHIRT. THE ONE MY BOYFRIEND SPATTERED BLEACH ALL OVER. Bless you for bringing this to my attention. Bless you. That is one of my favorite shirts and I have been looking for a replacement for about a year. (He bought it for me as a present one Dragon*Con.)

Squee!
