No doubt! We've already had a few snowstorms here in Colorado. I've cobbled a car kit together over the years, but a pre-made one might be an excellent gift idea.



And Izzy -- A double order that you got to keep? How nice is that?



Some more ideas:

*a couple packets of easy-to-grow garden seeds
*a pocket field guide of local plants and animals
*a well-made hand lens
*a warm hat
