A sweet abode for reindeer!

Offer sweet shelter to Donner, Dancer, Blitzen, and the rest of Santa's reindeer team (can you name them?) when they stop by your house. Our kit includes all the ingredients you need (yummy pre-baked gingerbread pieces, icing mix, candy cane sticks, mini M&M®s, sprinkles, Necco® wafers, pretzel sticks, gum drops, coconut, blue sanding sugar, club crackers, food coloring, and pastry bags) to create a welcoming haven complete with shingled roof, fence, pond, and snow-covered ground.
Make colorful people, animals, flowers and other figures out of chocolate to decorate baked goods. Sculpt fun decorations to add to your baked goods (or to use as yummy, festive accents for celebrations) with our Chocolate Modeling Kit that includes 12 moldable chocolate squares in assorted colors, plus tools. Add our delightfully detailed resin Santa Feeding the Reindeer Figurines to create still more color and interest, and sculpt edible figures of your choice with our Chocolate Modeling Kit (12 moldable chocolate squares in assorted colors, plus tools). A unique and hospitable idea for the season's gingerbread project.

Sno Slider
First to recommend
Description
Oh god, I need one of these just for walking down the street here in winter. Think "Cali girl, now living in the Midwest".. Sigh.
Slip, scoot, spin, slide - go for a ride on your own backside. A fun new twist on sledding, Sno Slider's like growing a tough plastic shell just for winter sports. Attaches by a simple harness - no more dragging a heavy sled up the hill; just walk to the top and sit down - you can't fall off. Comes in red or blue - we'll choose for you.
For ages 3 and up.
