The Land of Nod store closest to Madison is in Northbrook Court in Illinois (about ½ an hour’s drive past Gurnee Mills if traffic is good).
Fortunately, they’ve put some of their sale items online, including this charming Tabletop Puppet Theatre (currently $69, reduced from $89). If that’s still too pricey for your budget, consider some of their cute sock puppets (currently $6.95 each, reduced from $8.95). Both are available with FREE shipping — and if you order them by December 20th, they should arrive by Christmas Eve (weather permitting*).
For other terrific children’s toys and gifts (not all of which are on sale) visit The Land of Nod website.
*If we seem a bit obsessed with weather, consider the following: Madison experienced record snowfalls last year; we’ve already had one giant blizzard; currently (on 12/20), there is snow predicted for Madison on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; and right now we have friends on the East Coast who are digging out from under a huge snowfall. And Winter doesn’t officially arrive until tomorrow (12/21).
