A tiny gingerbread man rides on this deer's saddle, so it belongs with the friend who spends December elbow-deep in cookie dough. Seated low with its legs folded beneath it, the deer settles comfortably onto a mantel, a sideboard or a kitchen counter beside the cookie platter. Pink and white candy cane antlers and a striped bow carry the sweet theme from saddle to crown.

Wrap it for a baker, an aunt whose kitchen smells of ginger all season, or a hostess who loves a playful table. The whole design, from RAZ Imports, is for anyone whose best holiday tradition happens in the kitchen.
