AmVerLand Holiday Shopping Guide 2009

It's that time of year, when AmVerLand brings you sparkling items ideal for placement under your Christmas tree, Hanukkah menorah, or Kwanzaa Mkeka mat. As we do each year, we'll focus on delightfully precious items that emphasize the whimsical without ever losing sight of the essential.
