Animal Christmas Book

Here it is: absolutely the best Christmas gift EVER for young or old, Richard Scarry's The Animals' Merry Christmas. I got this for Bootie last year, and I still cry with joy at the charming stories of Christmas love. Can I just say that the kids pool their nickels to buy the lonely elephant at the zoo an elephant wife? For $10 at amazon.com, this book is even better for the soul than It's a Wonderful Life.

Enamel Tea Set

This little non-toxic enamelware tea set caught my eye at Land of Nod. The floral design is so sweet with ladybugs and butterflies zipping about. Clinkety clink and buzzy buzz!

Striped Knit Hoodie

What is it with me and striped hoodies? This one makes me want it too. The pima cotton knit Chouju Hoodie comes in sizes 6 months to 8 years at Tea.
