Even More Christmas Gift
Ideas for 2007
Christmas
isn't just the most romantic holiday of the year
(how can snow, decorated trees and happy family
dinners not beat Valentine's Day?), it's also
the perfect occasion to shower your loved ones
with gifts. But what do you get them? To help
relieve you of some of the stress involved with
choosing the perfect present, we've lined up
some of the best Christmas gifts. Jingle
bells!
Music: Our personal favorite, and the best way
to make sure your friend, father or whoever
you're giving the tunes to will enjoy your gift
the whole year round. If you choose the right
cd, that is. No idea what they like? Then buy a
gift certificate - from your local record store,
or the iTunes music store. While we're on the
subject: a great way to show somebody how much
you care is by giving them an iPod - the Shuffle
for your cousins, a Nano for your sister and the
80 gig version for your lady or man...
Clothes: A tricky one, but when you get it right
the recipient of that lovely negligé or
beautiful satin scarf will love you to bits.
Make sure you avoid the dreary necktie or
novelty knitwear sweater with seasonal theme,
though. There's no excuse for those.
Jewelry: Nothing says "I love you" quite like a
golden necklace or diamond-studded bracelet.
Just make sure your bank statement doesn't read
"bankrupt" afterwards.
DVDs: 'A Wonderful Life' for Granny, 'Miracle On
34th Street' for Mom, 'Bad Santa' for your
raunchy brother, 'The Nightmare Before
Christmas' for your goth friend and 'Home Alone'
for that bratty kid next door: plenty of
seasonal movie fun to go around!
Activity: Feeling original? Why not surprise
your loved one with tickets to a show, a voucher
for a hot-air balloon trip or a gift certificate
for a day-long spa treatment? And no, a
handwritten note reading "good for a hike in the
mountains in my priceless company" won't quite
cut it.
Subscriptions: A great way to show the recipient
of your gift you know them very well is by
getting them a subscription to a magazine they
don't get delivered yet. Make sure to stick to
what they like though: don't impose your own
taste.
Gift Certificates/Gift Cards: Admittedly, they
do kind of say "I really didn't know what to get
you" or "I was really lazy this year around",
but gift certificates can actually make for
great presents. Especially when they're from
Saks Fifth Avenue or Harrod's. Or the Apple
Store. Or from Barnes & Noble. Or from your
local movie theatre. You know what? Gift
certificates are actually pretty cool. Hope we
get loads of those this Christmas...
