Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes The Rockettes, a household name and a New York tradition since 1933, are a must see this holiday season!

You will feel like you are practically in the entire number. There is never a dull moment with the cast singing and dancing their way through the aisles, to the left and right of the theatre, and on stage.

The gift everyone will love
W
hen it comes to gifting the loved ones in our lives, whether it be friends or family, we always think about a gift that will continue to give, day after day, year after year. When we think about what we love in our daily lives, we think about the moments we get to enjoy in the comfort of our own kitchen, either alone or with friends and family huddled around the counter. We think about the memories we get to make, the quiet time we get to engage in and taking time to reflect on all the things that are positive in our lives. One thing that is always a part of these times throughout the days is a delicious cup of coffee! When you like to entertain, like we do, we love that we have a coffee maker that suits the needs of everyone that comes to visit! A delicious cup of coffee in the morning with a shot of flavor or a warm latte at the end of the day, a warm mug in our hands is a feeling we love and know that the people in our lives love, too! With so many options, we know that Keurig has the perfect machine for everyone on our list!
Kids gifts
If you are looking for a practical and fun gift for someone on your list, check out Pediped. There is a clear reason these shoes are approved with the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance and are the fastest-growing children's footwear brand in the country. Promoting healthy growth and development is important in all aspects of our children's lives, especially when they are taking their first steps!
moms can't live without When it comes to gifting, give a gift for baby that will make mom smile (and sleep too)! Imagine your favorite swaddle could suddenly sprout arm holes and transition into the perfect wearable blanket. Baby doesn't have to get used to a different type of sleeping bag, they just get mobility in their arms to give them freedom when they need it. This is possible with ergoCocoon baby swaddle sleep bags. These amazing swaddles have snaps in the arms, which keep arms in to make baby feel warm and cozy for swaddle time. You can pop open the snaps once your little one starts rolling and they can sleep with arms out so they can move about.
