Loaf pan

I got the one from Kayla, but my regular bread recipe makes two loves :)

Rain Gauge

The one you got me is already ... the worse for wear, Kara.

Advent Calendar

Something cool I can use year after year; we do have one of the Lego Harry Potter ones (set 75964). Those are nice, but it can be something simpler, too: something Unitarian perhaps, if it's from Kara, or science-y if it's from Kayla ... a keepsake

Mixed nuts in the shell (walnuts, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, etc..) AND a nutcracker

(a real thingy for cracking nuts, not a decorative nutcracker)

Fruitcake (more of a Christmas thing, but always delicious)

Teapot

(not a kettle) I want you to pick out whatever design and color you want, because then it will remind me of you! :) But Aurora says aim for something "whimsical," which seems like good advice.
