The Magic of Christmas is a must see every year for the installation of towering artist-designed trees in the galleries and non-stop holiday events (click here for a calendar). There’s a surprising amount of giftable goodies smooshed into The Shop, too, from Eric Carle’s pop-up advent calendar to finger puppet theaters, modern block sets and craft kits for kids. But it’s not just for tots, grownups will love the shelves of art, interior design and cookbooks, handmade jewelry and my sister and brother-in-law’s collectible Billie Bead Christmas Tree pins (available here and at Barney’s NY!), a modern take on the ancient tradition of millefiore. Each one is handmade, completely unique and eye candy, $40 to $60 depending on size. During December, enjoy Sleigh Days in The Shop, a different themed discount every day and savings up to 20%.  florencegriswoldmuseum.org
