PETITE PLUME: TRADITIONS AND HOLIDAY TARTANS
As the holidays approach traditions are carried out, festive decor dons the home, and the memories are made. We absolutely love the blend of a bygone era with the comfort and sophistication of family matching sleepwear that is Petite Plume.
The finest cotton available, the attention to detail, the handwritten cards and customized packaging make it not only a desirable gift but a staple for the holiday season. Bring on the Kensington, Imperial, Windsor, Balmoral – we love all the tartans and they come in everything from pajamas to robes, bedding to tabletop!
For long-held traditions and magical new memories. For then, for now, for all the moments in between Petite Plume’s Holiday Home collections are so dreamy. Deck the halls with festive tartan wreath bows, tree skirts, and personalized stockings for kids and kids at heart. Opt for buttery soft new bed linens—duvet covers, sheet sets, and cashmere throws— that will cocoon you in ultimate comfort as sugar plums dance in your head.
Plus, put your own spin on treasured holiday traditions with coordinated table linens capture moments of merriment that will carry you through a joyful year ahead. We absolutely love the matching table cloths, runners, placemats and napkins.
LEGO® “BUILDING” FESTIVE FAMILY MEMORIES
From Secret Santa and stocking stuffers to epic showstoppers, LEGO ® sets are not only great gift ideas, but they are also interactive and allow for “building” family memories. Many of their holiday sets and fan favorite collections like Star Wars, Harry Potter and Disney have the option to do collaborative family and friends builds through their LEGO® Builder app. Friends and family can work together and on different aspects of the overall build. We love creating a memory together and it can double as decor.
All of these LEGO sets make great early gifts and allow for a bonding activity over holiday breaks from school and leading into the festive season. LEGO Icons Family Christmas Tree building kit has open panels to hidden rooms including Santa’s Control Room and Elf’s Workshop, plus a handful of figures and minifigures. Major bonus, after the holiday the tree separates into sections for easy storage and the ability to be ready for next Christmas too. LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train is part of the LEGO Winter Village collection and with this set you can push the train to activate the bobbing smokestack and bell-ringing polar bear. Plus it has the ability to become motorized with the LEGO Powered Up Kit and can chug around the tree!
LEGO Star Wars Gingerbread At-At Walker is a super sweet twist for any fan. A minifigure Gingerbread Darth Vader with a candy cane lightsaber is the winning combo for creative play in the gingerbread-house-styled iconic vehicle complete with cockpit and cozy interior. A must-add to any list! Only available at LEGO Stores and at LEGO.com. Hot tip, snag the LEGO Star Wars Gingerbread At-At Walker when you see it because stores can’t keep it stocked on their shelves!

SKYLIGHT DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME
Instead of keeping the treasure chest of family photos and videos on your phone, give the gift shared memories on our favorite digital frame ever made is the Skylight Frame 2!
It’s simple to set up, has a touchscreen HD display, adapts to be vertical or horizontal, photos can be sent straight from your phone and everyone in the family can send photos to a desired frame remotely that will arrive in seconds… makes it a great, and special, way to easily update family with pictures from adventures. Plus the Frame 2 can play video! Huge game-changer having a place for all those video snipets you take with your phone to finally be showcased.
We of course had to couple our Skylight Frame 2 frame with the Skylight Calendar. This WiFi-connected digital display showcases our family’s schedule with extraordinary clarity, color, and brilliance. Its HD touchscreen — combined with the free mobile app for on-the-go updates — helps us easily plan and manage events across different views and features. We love all the customization from toggling between day, week, month, and schedule views to color coding where we assign each family member their own color, making it simple for everyone to see who needs to be where and when.
