Cool Stamps
www.coolstamps.com

EW review: "Anyone who thinks stamp collecting is for fogies should check out this site run by retired Air Force jet pilot Greg Caron. Who knew you could find Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bull Durham, and The X-Files on stamps (issued in, respectively, Abkhazia, Tuva, Gambia, and Chechnya)? There are stamps for sports fans, groupies, nature lovers, anyone. And you don't have to worry about shipping mishaps: These babies can take a licking. A+"

eHobbies
www.ehobbies.com

EW review: "This new site was backed by gurus from EarthLink and Disney Online--who clearly cherish childhood memories of trains, radio controls, die-cast cars, and model rockets. There are tons of products to choose from, but what makes the site fly is the content. "Rocketry 101," for instance, is a must-read for parents of 8- to 12-year-old boys. Shipping is free for the rest of this year, so take advantage while these are the only kinds of models your kid is still interested in. A+"

Addicted to Rubber … Stamps
www.ground-up.com

EW review: "No, we're not talking S&M. This site is a haven for enthusiasts who create cards, invitations, and memory books using rubber stamps and ink pads. Choose from a huge selection of Mary Engelbreit's whimsical stamps, stickers, and gift sets, or browse through the site's extensive collection, featuring everything from Dr. Seuss and Winnie the Pooh to Seurat's "Bathers at Asnieres" and Cezanne's "Apples and Oranges." It's sure to become a favorite stamping ground. A"

Internet Hobbies
www.internethobbies.com

EW review: "Planes, trains, and automobiles are all here in model form--along with the tools, paints, and decals needed to build and decorate them. There are dozens of choices: die-cast, plastic, or wooden vehicles, civilian or military aircraft, radio-control cars, even Star Wars or Armageddon spacecraft. Shipping is free on U.S. orders over $75, and after placing your first order you'll receive a $5 bonus certificate for future purchases. This hobby shop will match any price on the Internet, making it a model e-retailer. A-"

Art2Art

EW review: "Create your own handmade holiday gifts after stocking up at this arts-and-crafts supply site. Whether you're a painter, quilter, doll maker, or floral arranger, you'll find what you need at discounted prices. Plan now for those snowy days when you'll be housebound with your kids: Although delivery is promised to be quick, no one has figured out yet how to reach through the computer to hand you those glue sticks and construction paper you just ran out of.
