Great Gift Idea...

For those of my dear friends and movie-lovers out there, here is a really wonderful box-set that would make a fantastic gift for just about anybody on your list!  With the upcoming holidays (Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!  I was cooking all day, and I hope that you all enjoyed the food as much as I did today:), I thought that I should toss a couple of good gift ideas out there for the movie-buff on your shopping list.  This series was given to my family by my wonderful mother-in-law, who always gives us amazing presents.  We all love it, including my little kiddo.  He will watch it over and over again, which is his favorite movie-watching style, but still, it is really great to own.

*Planet Earth and the Blue Planet (2006), put out by the BBC and shown on the Discovery Channel, also narrated by David Attenborough.  This series demonstrates the most amazing achievements in natural film-making.  The documentary style is perfectly executed, and there are creatures, environments, and acts of nature captured here that have never been seen before.  The music is beautiful and mesmerizing.   Our personal favorite is the under-water half of the series (the Blue Planet).  Whether you are interested in nature, film-making, music, or science, you will find a favorite in this set (it will totally impress your eco-friendly relatives, also:).  It is captivating.
