Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
An adorable replica of the classic Charlie Brown Tree.
Why we love it:
For people of a certain generation, Charlie Brown is near synonymous with Christmas. We remember sitting up on Christmas Eve, or piled in the happy rubble of our presents on Christmas morn, glued to the TV and watching Charlie and his friends on their Christmas adventure. The story remained the same, year after year, but our delight did not diminish with familiarity. Charlie Brown remains a favorite of Christmas, and nothing is so iconic of the Charlie Brown Christmas as the poor, sad little tree. For anyone who is in a mood to celebrate the true spirit of Christmas this year (or anyone with a very small space who wants to make the most of it), this charming little replica of the Charlie Brown tree will make a wonderful gift. It looks just exactly like the original, made of wire branches and plastic needles with a wooden base. It even comes with the single, red ball ornament (though more can be added if you desire) and folds up neatly when you're done with it for the season, ready to be tucked away and brought out next year.
Who we'd give it to:
College students, Charlie Brown fans, people with small spaces, anyone feeling down in the yuletide season.
