Are you looking for something different for Christmas? Maybe you only have a small space, but want to make it festive. We would suggest our collection of wooden houses by Ginger Cottages. Made in Virginia, these little houses are all hand assembled and filed with delicate details. We have houses to make up a North Pole scene including
Santa’s Workshop,
Reindeer Barn, and
Elf Academy House. You can also create a little winter town scene with the
Clock tower,
Toy Shop,
Post Office, and our favorite a
Door County Lighthouse. For our dog lovers, we also have little dog houses filled with their own unique accents. Each one of these houses are beautiful on their own or in a collection and with most being under $25 each they are a great gift!

German Nutcrackers, Smokers, Pyramids
|
We have received this year’s collection of German nutcrackers, smokers, and pyramids. Many of these items are still handmade in Germany, using the same process for decades. The beautiful details and amazing quality will make these items something that your family will love for generations. For many of these items we have one or two available, so don’t wait to get your favorites!

One of our most popular collections are our Door County ornaments. We have ornaments to remind you of your favorite places (e.g. Peninsula State Park, Wilson’s Ice Cream Shop, and Tannenbaum Holiday Shop), activities (e.g. kayaking, fishing), and foods (e.g. cherry pie, apples). These ornaments are great souvenirs and perfect gifts for all Door County lovers. We have so many ornaments this year that we expanded our Door County section to two trees.
If you’re looking for something bigger, we also have our exclusive Santas from David Frykman (
Silent Nights) and Vaillancourt (
Cherry Delight Santa) or our Byer’s Choice Door County Carolers.

A new way to light things up
|
Christmas lights can be an easy way to change up the look of your tree. Our new
FireCracker lights are sure to make a statement on anyone’s tree. Firecracker lights contain more than double the standard strands of lights. The lights are clustered closer together allowing for more impact on the tree. The lights are also on a controller with 8 different settings. There are three different lengths to choose from.
We also have a
Tinsel Light Set. These light bulbs are larger than your standard light. They are filled with tinsel ensuring more impact from the different colors. These lights are available in clear or multicolor. These can be used indoors or outdoors!

Did you know that we carry over 700 styles of Old World ornaments? This year alone we have added 90 new styles. With so many styles it is hard to believe that you won’t find what you want. We have animals, food, tools, destinations, Santas, snowmen, vehicles, household items, and many more. Each of these beautiful glass ornaments features vibrant colors and tags with item descriptions.

We have always carried puzzles (usually only a couple select designs), but this year we have decided to expand our puzzle section with some new ones featuring our favorite books in the pictures. We have multiple floor puzzles displaying Jan Brett’s books, like “
The Hat” and “
The Night before Christmas.” These floor puzzles have larger pieces making them great for young kids. We also have the
Berenstain Bears puzzle, which features the Berenstain family exchanging gifts by the tree. These puzzles make reading a fun activity that extends beyond the book! We also have some lovely puzzles with Christmas scenes that are more challenging.

Crafted with actual bottle caps, this brightly lit animated building features a spinning conveyor belt, turning as if to drop finished caps into the cart below.

Tannenbaum Holiday Shop Reading Corner

We again have gone a little crazy buying books this year! This month we would like to highlight two exciting books for our store
The Day the Crayons Quit and
The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt.
The Day the Crayons Quit contains letters from crayons to their owner, Duncan, describing the hardships the crayons have endured. For example, the black crayon is tired of outlining everything and the orange and yellow crayon are fighting over who should be the color of the sun.
|
|
The Day the Crayons Came Home follows a similar format as the first book. Again, the crayons have written letters to Duncan, their owner; however, this time the letters are regarding to crayons that have been left out of their box. For example, the yellow and orange crayon describe melting in the sun, the maroon crayon was left in the couch, and the tan crayon was eaten by the dog. These books are great for young children who are just learning their colors, older children who will appreciate the humor in the story, and for any adults who enjoys a comical twist on life as a crayon.
