post x-mas

Did Santa bring you a lump of coal? Got some extra money? Did Grandma buy you yellow socks (again)? Want to start buying presents for next year already? Perhaps you're thinking, Where does a finicky, quasi-revolutionary, anti-chain store guy like Garrett shop at?

Or do you want to engage in the borderline-Babylon activity my friend Steph calls, "retail therapy"?

Here ya go... nice online joints that sell cool stuff that'll push your bank account closer to zero and perhaps, may help re-start the sluggish world economy. Don't say I didn't warn you.
