One Christmas Lasts Forever R.D. Gaines
Late one Christmas Eve, a father unexpectedly steps back into his childhood of parents and grandparents, only to realize his children are standing behind him . . . A unique and beautifully illustrated story of eternal bonds . . . with a wondrous twist.
A great book to gift, or add to your own collection, during the Christmas Season; a time filled with family and memories.
Easily save your spot and keep your tea, glasses, and phone, all in one place with this cute and handy book nook.
A unique gift idea from North Drinkware. We have the Mt. Hood glass (gifted to my husband a couple of years ago, his hometown is near Mt. Hood). The Mt. Bachelor glass is on my wish list, representing my beautiful hometown of Bend, OR. I also love the Teton glass! In fact, I’d take all the mountain ranges! Pair a glass with a bottle of your choice to seal the deal!
I love this book subscription kit because it also comes with fun little treasures in addition to introducing you to a new book or author. Each box follows a certain theme. With a subscription you/the recipient can be surprised each month, or you can purchase individual boxes choosing from a variety of themes.
Owl Crate Jr. is designed for readers 8-12 years old. Owl Crate is geared towards YA readers. I wanted a themed book subscription box for my 6-year-old but couldn’t find anything that combined great books with great goodies. So this year I am curating my own monthly book box for him.
If you are curating your own book box, ask us for suggestions!

Lighted Beanie and Lighted Leash
A practical gift that will be appreciated and get a lot of use–especially in the winter months when there are limited daylight hours. I often walking my dog in the dark early in the morning or late afternoon when the sun goes down early. Lighted beanies and leashes mean I can see where I am going and others can see me–while keeping my hands free.
From the makers of Exploding Kittens, a word-shouting game for all ages. Test your useless knowledge: draw category cards and shout words matching the category and letter on the race track, turning your useless knowledge into useful points.
I wish I’d known about this sooner! I have spent many cold and dreary days watching my kids play soccer and baseball. Having this heated chair would be a game-changer! It would also come in handy for camping!
Maybe not the most fun or exciting gift idea, but certainly useful! Keep your outlets clear and add light to hallways and rooms with these sensor-activated outlet lights.

I’ve been asked often about the significance of the narrator in House Number 12 Block Number 3. This time, when I was in Karachi I was asked the same question– why did a house have to narrate the story?
