As the weather gets colder, it's time to cuddle under a down comforter, pop in a DVD and set out the popcorn via bowl, bucket or tub. Cost Plus World Market sells old-timey cardboard popcorn boxes ($8/20), which would be enough for everyone at a kid's movie night. Or invest in permanent ceramic tub ($10 medium/ $15 for extra large) that borrows the trad popcorn red-and-white color scheme. Matching butter pitcher ($5) and a popcorn recipe book by Frances Towner Giedt ($15) will absolutely fulfill all the rest of your popcorn needs except for the raw material itself. Fill the popper with Steinke's Gourmet Popcorn from the Dane County Farmers' market.
