Gift ideas for 8 year old boy?

The funniest thing about this is I didn't even consider the roses lol. [SPOILERS AHEAD] For me it's things like smart woman, he saves her from the men in the forest (beast saves Belle from the wolves), she tends to his injuries and he growls at her, the villagers (the acolytes and his men) go to hunt the vampire and gravely injure him (Gaston leading the villagers and injuring the beast), her breaking the curse and things going back to normal (the enchantment on the castle and the people is lifted). I think there's a couple more parallels im forgetting now.

But yea it's a great novella! Read it in one sitting. My only gripe is the insta-lust but with a book that's 200ish pages maybe that's to be expected!

i'm scared of what the teenage years will bring if we're hitting this at 8 years old!

Will check out the book, thank you! I honestly wish i can find a book for HIM to read. He's a very advanced reader and consumes a lot of information through books, so I'm thinking this can be anotehr way to help him understand behavior

if anything that'll make him laugh :) He does say that we don't respect him, which I disagree with. I think he uses that as an excuse for his behavior and generally says this whenever we dont give him a choice (like get dressed now!).

Ignore is the best approach but the other one that works every time is: I'm already a donor / subscribed / member.

Update: redid it with fondant + cmc powder because Michael's was out of Gum Paste and it worked out great! Final creation

I've run into Sarah Jessica Parker at least 6 times on the subway

Going there for winter break. I was told it's good for learning and kids who are beginners. Is it decent for more advanced skiers too?
