Oh, sure, you could get something non-Peanuts like a fancy drill/tool set on sale today for over half off the list price, or the new Kindle Fire (free two-day shipping on that!)… but wouldn’t your giftee rather have a Charlie Brown and Snoopy salt and pepper shaker? I thought so!

Happy holidays, all!
