I'm an artist and as such I tend to be a little indie/artsy. Make fun of me all you want. I don't care. :P (No really, I don't care.)
In my latest artcapades, I decided to take the pledge to buy handmade gifts this year. Not necessarily because I think it's the best idea on the planet. It'll definitely make gift buying harder. But more because I want to support my fellow craftsmen/women.
Check it out: Buy Handmade
A great place to buy handmade, original stuff: Etsy
Whether or not you give it a try, take a look at the labels on what you buy at stores and see where it comes from. Most things come from overseas. So why not support an artist from the states?

I read a similar article recently -> www.startribune.com/business/13513951.html
It doesn't focus on the artisitic elements per se, but more about not buying things new and how much it saves the pocketbook and also the environment.

It is a lot better for the environment to buy handmade instead of buying stuff from Walmart that's been made in China.  I try to be moderately green and buying handmade is another great way to do that.
