Let me be a warning to you. Do NOT, under any circumstances, only remember at 9 pm on Christmas Eve that you forgot to buy stocking stuffers because then you’ll be running to the corner drugstore searching through the nearly bare shelves buying deeply off-label toys and stale candy. Instead, buy these things TODAY, so you can enjoy all the eggnog you like on Christmas Eve.

I long for the day when my child no longer makes me watch her play Minecraft. At least with this LEGO Minecraft The Zombie Cave it won’t make me motion sick to watch her build it.
