Columbus Day weekend has started, and all the elves are now taking up bar stools at Frosty’s Pub (hopefully none of them will get arrested).  Even the reindeer aren’t around, they are off at training camp.  To cut the boredom, I’ve decided to spread a little early holiday cheer, and give my reader’s a shot at crossing one gift off their list, without opening their wallet.

The nice folks at CSN stores have offered to send the winner of this giveaway a $35 gift code.  There are a ton of great gift choices you could scoop up with that.  Here are a few children’s gift options from CSN, that caught my eye. All are well under $35.
