Having been in Midland now for 17 months, I'm still so excited when I come across a new restaurant or store that I haven't been to yet. I'm still in explore mode in my new area--so imagine my level of excitement when I came across The Ivy Cottage while out shopping with my wife! We absolutely love it because it's got a section for everyone! Every holiday is on display with unique items to make your home warm, inviting, and friendly--and stylish with great items to commemorate and represent the season! About a mile and a half or so off Loop 250 on Big Spring Street in Midland--just past Wadley--there is a world of shopping fun that awaits!
To say that there's a fantastic selection no matter what you're looking for is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I could spend an entire day in this store with my wife and about 3 months' worth of paychecks adding to our home's decor. If you've been there before, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you've gotta check it out. I also love their sense of humor:
Stop by and see what you think! It's definitely one of Midland's gems!

With the holiday spirit in the air, it’s the perfect time to dive into the history of iconic holiday gifts. Using national toy archives and data curated by The Strong from 1920 to today, Stacker searched for products that caught hold of the public zeitgeist through novelty, innovation, kitsch, quirk, or simply great timing, and then rocketed to success.

See how many things on this list trigger childhood memories—and which ones were here and gone so fast you missed them entirely.
