8. My niece and nephews always get a book and a toy from me for Christmas and birthday.

According to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, my oldest nephew (8) would rather read than go camping/hunting/fishing -- all things their family is big on. "Just like his uncle" (meaning my husband) was the exact, exasperated quote from my mother-in-law. SO...for Christmas, we are giving him the entire Chronicles of Prydain boxed set.

The five-year-old nephew has his birthday just before Christmas, so he is getting "The Story of Ferdinand" and "Magic School Bus Inside the Human Body".

The niece (16 mo.) is getting "The Saggy Baggy Elephant".

And the one other adult in the family who's an avid reader (besides my husband and me) is getting an Amazon gift card to add books to his Kindle.
