Help for Christmas gifts

Two questions for the LJ hivemind...

Does anyone know of a good (well, decent) page magnifier, or other magnifier that is useful for cookbooks (especially)?

I don't care if it's a magnifying glass, or a page magnifier, or whatever it is that works, but it should be something easy to use and easily cleanable.

Second: does anyone know of a good way to make Christmas ornaments with a third-fourth grader that can be done with the assistance of a clumsy-but-careful uncle? And/or any good bead stores in Renton?

(Wish I had more time, and more to say - I'm coming off a nasty infection that might still be tickling my throat a bit, and I'm busy as heck at work.)

Ginger biscuits which then become edible decorations are very easy to make and great fun (and taste good too).

Lots of recipes online including http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/kids/christmas_makes/edible_decorations/edible_decorations.shtml
