"Twas the night before Christmas..." For all these stocking stuffers, how about a stocking to put them in? Granny's Square has personalized crocheted stockings that are surely in the holiday spirit. Name of person embroidered on the cuff, or you can wear them on your feet to keep warm on "a cold Winter's night..."

You know, those items are pretty awesome. But a number of those sellers are already featured or have been featured a gazillion times. There are literally tens of thousands of fantastic items and sellers to choose from here. Please start showing a little more thoughtfulness in picking items to be featured. Start picking people that haven't been featured before.
