Someone said the words to me at work today: Christmas shopping. Naturally, I responded with,"Are you kidding? It's not even Halloween yet!" ...but she was right. Why not knock a few names off your list while the prices are low? For those of you with any small children, nephews, neices, children of friends...whatever...these floor puzzles (picture puzzles with pieces so big that they are meant to be assembled on the floor) are currently on sale at Amazon.com so that shipping is free:

...how much do these puzzles usually go for? I have no idea. I just happened upon them while browsing Amazon's site. Hmm....looking at some of the dimensions of these completed puzzles, I think "floor puzzle" is a bit of a misnomer. I don't think these are big enough to require assembly on the floor. *shrug*
