Christmas
Gift Ideas: A Guide
by Eric Morris
Christmas gift shopping is an event that has
to be planned meticulously; otherwise, there’s a chance that
on Christmas eve you will find yourself scurrying from shop to shop,
jostling with the crowd, buying the first thing you see without
giving it any thought.
If you are in a last minute crunch, there are
some “safe” gift options that will save the day-- not
to mention face. A box of chocolates is always a safe bet, assuming
the receiver has a fondness for chocolates. Similarly, an assortment
of cookies is sure to please the guy or gal with a sweet tooth on
your list. Colognes and perfumes are also a popular gift if you’re
having trouble deciding what someone might like. Just keep the scent
subtle and buy what’s “in” in the way of scents.
If you know the size of the person you are buying
for, a blouse, shirt or sweater is always nice. Stick with basic
colors, unless the person on your list has diverse tastes. Then,
you might want to indulge them in bolder, more colorful attire.
For the men on your list, ties, wallets, briefcases, mp3 players,
and organizers are sure to please. For the ladies, jewelry, scarves,
cosmetic kits, watches and gift certificates are popular gifts.
Teens love receiving money or gift certificates so they can buy
what they want, and children love toys and books.
Shopping for Christmas gifts is really an art,
and given the time constraints we all seem to face and the number
of family and friends that we have to buy for; making a list and
a budget should make for a Merry Christmas for all.
