Non-magical reindeer food

Last year, I mentioned Magical Reindeer Food, a simple mixture of sugar, oats and glitter that is sprinkled on the lawn to give very little kids the sense that they are doing something to help Santa's reindeer find their way to the house on Christmas Eve. It's a cute idea, but not appetizing unless you happen to be Rudolph or one of his buddies. Crate & Barrel sells a decidedly more appetizing type of Reindeer Food and this one is meant for human consumption.

It is sweet-salty kettle corn packed in an adorable stitched felt bag that ties shut at the top and bears the label "reindeer food." It seems like it would make a great stocking stuffer for a little kid ("Look! The reindeer brought you something, too.") and would also be a good treat to munch on before bedtime on Christmas Eve.

I'm considering picking up a bag for myself when I stop into the store for last minute goodies this week. There's no harm in being a big kid around the holidays.

A couple of years ago, my sister-in-law brought the oats-and-glitter type of reindeer food to the ski house in the Poconos where we all were staying for the holidays. The little kids (about 1, 1 1/2, 3, 4, and 7 years old) had fun sprinkling it around the snowy lawn. We all nearly fainted with amazement when, about half an hour later, a herd of deer had congregated on the lawn eating the stuff! The kids were screaming with excitement. All I could think of was the trail of glittery deer turds that would be left all over the woods later! :)
