    You’re a lifesaver! We have a niece who lives several states away, so we don’t really know her very well, which makes gift-giving problematic. But the Tulip Tie Dye kit from SmarterKids looks like it would be perfect for her! I’m off to explore more about it, but I think you’ve solved one holiday problem for me. Thanks!

  • Lauryn R
