‘Stuff Your Stocking’ is a joint, three-week Christmas-themed project between Jen at Pop! Goes The Reader and Ginger at GReads! in which we celebrate the two things we love most: Christmas and Reading! Need some help finding the perfect Christmas gift for the person who has everything? No problem! We’ve got you covered.
Welcome to the third and final week of the Stuff Your Stocking event! Much like last week, I’ve decided to use one of my favourite novels as the inspiration for this week’s gift guide. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series was an integral part of my childhood and one I would re-visit often. I was endlessly fascinated by Wilder’s reminiscences of a life that was so entirely unlike my own. I loved it so much, in fact, that as an adult I’m now the proud owner of the box set of the entire series which I love to re-read whenever I’m feeling a little down. With that in mind, I chose to draw inspiration primarily from the first four novels in the series in which nature played a prominent role in the family’s life. I can only hope I did justice to such a wonderful and beloved series.
1) Felt Deer Brooch by My Hideaway ($20.00)
2) Antler to Your Questions Ring ($15.99)
3) Embroidered Fawn Necklace by Knit Knit ($66.00)
4) Little House on the Prairie: The Complete Series ($134.99)
5) Woodland Stripes iPhone and iPod Case by Claire London Designs ($35.00)
6) Kit ‘n’ Play Sweater ($72.99)
7) Bunny Illustration by Carol Farrell Illustrations ($20.00)
8) Laser Cut Bear Bookends by Design Atelier Article ($54.31)
9) Nocturn-owl Lifestyle Lamp ($56.99)

I REALLY like the embroidered necklaces. They look very unique. And the owl lamp… that is just so darn cute!

Aren’t the necklaces beautiful? I can’t wait until the shop re-opens after Christmas as I’m seriously considering purchasing one for myself π

So I want EVERYTHING in your post today! Especially those necklaces.. how cute are those??! Little House on the Prairie reminds me of summer vacations when I was in elementary school. My sisters and I would wake up and watch episodes in our night gowns until our mother made us get dressed, hehe.

Me too! Aren’t those necklaces to die for? I’m seriously considering purchasing one for myself when the shop re-opens after Christmas. I would make one myself, but having tried to cross-stitch a number of times before, I’ve learned the hard way that I’m all thumbs! π
Little House on the Prairie, both the book and television series, hold such fond memories for me, too! Like you, I used to watch the series before school, and would inevitably run late because I wouldn’t want to tear myself away until the episode was over. π

This book series was my childhood (from Wisconsin. It’s in my bloooood), so I love and adore this whole post. You always curate the best things.

Like I mentioned on Twitter, I am seriously OBSESSED with the Little House series! I read them all repeatedly when I was younger, and would definitely read them again if they were within my reach. (Sadly, they are not. They’re in the Philippines.) So I LOVE that you made one of your gift guides based on them! Great choices for presents too π

Oh man, I LOVED Little House growing up… still do!! This was such a cool idea to use it as the theme for this post— so many adorable gift ideas!! I can’t wait (well I can… because I’m not in a rush for my kids to grow.. haha) until the baby bettys are old enough to appreciate these books! π
