what a perfect solution to the tricky problem of watering a christmas tree!!!! And it is very inexpensive, as are most of the wonderful things at Lee Valley.

Here's what the website says:
Keeping Christmas trees properly watered is always a problem. The tree stand reservoir is usually too small and must be refilled often, an awkward and frequently painful exercise. Worse still, if the reservoir runs dry during the night, the tree's transportation cells become sealed with drying sap.

All of this can be avoided with this simple device that uses any 60 oz (2 litre) plastic soft-drink bottle as a water source. The water flow shuts off automatically when the stand is full and resumes again as it empties.

Complete instructions are on the box. Can be positioned inconspicuously. Comes with a 5-1/2" connecting tube.

Leg Lamp from the Movie Classic: Christmas Story

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is the christmas gift that keeps giving - not only is it worth the laughter when the recipient opens it, but it is also a quite fine lamp and conversation piece year round. It's become one of my favorite things in the house - with a place of honor on top of the TV (to make it clearly visible through the front window of course, to make all who pass the house jealous).

Wee Little Humbug

First to recommend

Description

even Scrooge can display a little holiday sentiment - this little guy holds signs that only a true Humbug could enjoy, like "BAH!" and "Leave me alone".
Great gift for the office scrooge or for your desk when you just aren't feeling the holiday cheer.
