Santa's Workshop Holds Ideas
By, now, Santa's workshop,
is probably in dire need of
replacements and additi'onask,
Making,and fixing all those
things or wives and moth
Ors; Boris and daughters can
certainly challenge even the,
Most resourceful 'Santa, as
well as his tools. •
Gifts of new tools help him
do a better job and also tut
working time. .
A good way to check upon
what tools Santa needs..is to
venture into his workshop,
being careful not to handle(;
any of the sharp instruments
carelessly.
•After gaining some fami- ..
liarity with Santa's tools, gift
givers are then ready to visit
his favorite hardware store:
or department. Salesmen will
be able' to recommend the
most useful tools. ,a •
It's -important to bear in
mind the degree of handy-
man Sata happens to be.
Only tolls• that he will ` use
and have future use for .
should be given.
If Santa is in the middle
of a project, perhaps a, tool
that will ` help. -him:, -a1Qpg�
would be greatly appreciated. s
A good selection of nus
and bolts, or a hammer, nails
and screwdriver are good to
have around, for littleevery- .
day things that need fixing.
Some *Christmas toys and
gifts have to be assembled,
*thereby breaking in Santa's
tool gifts that very morning.
What a practical gift, what
a .practical giver!
It Santa has a home work-
shop, chances are he can use
many power tools drill,
sander, bench saw, outer,
grinding wheel, .buffer, paint
sprayer, . for instance. .
Santa's little helpers can
give tool boxes, punches,
graduated saw sets, files, bits,
chisels, `miter .boxes, levels,
micrometers and . tap sets.

Santa Claus is coming -to
town, and right about now is
the time to makeup that
most important gifts list —
insuring the right gifts for
him. Selecting gifts !or every
Santa on the list can be real
exciting fun. -

Off; the .best selection and
has a chance to see more gifts
stimulating new, Christ-
mas . gift ideas. Shopping
early also insures time for a
change in shopping strategy,
a changing of the mind.
The ideal gift is one that
blends the personality of the -
buyer and flatters the needs
of the receiver. This means
the ideal gifts for him.
If he's a do-it-yourselfer,
then something to help in his
next project (or the one he's
trying to complete) or any-
thing in the home workshop
or power tool field will. surely
' be a constructive hit.
For Traveler
For the man who travels,'
either business or leisure, it's
'luggage— all the way. Small
flight bags, 'leather or fab-
ric or maybe an additional
matching. piece for his pres-
ent set of luggage, will dell-
nitely bring smiles for many
-miles.
Most men have some type
of hobby, for leisure hours,
and local hobby shops and
departments are well sup-
. plied, early in the, season.
No 'matter- what •his hobby
— stamps, coins, skeet shoot-
ing or any of the model
building interests — a new
accessory for this special in-
terest will bring additional -
joy.
It may also be a 'good time
to start him on a hobby —
with an interesting Christ-
mas gift. Of course, it's just
for him.
Clothing is always an ap-
propriate gift for the man.
Men may not go out and buy
for themselves what they will
wear when it is received as a
gift. A suede jacket, 'a. wide
tie (three to four inches),
casual hat, latest style tie --
and -shirt sets.-- these say a
"Merry Christmas" all year
long, and become an easy
way to flatter and influence
his wardrobe.
Helping Him Relax
Larger items --suits, sport-
coats and top coats — also
make impressive gifts. An
exciting gift for him might
. be the new plush robes for
after showers or after hours.
ff the man on the list hap-
pens to be Dad or Grandad,
traditional gifts of cologne,
after shave and talc sets are
always welcome in addition
to the larger gifts.
For the sportsman the gift
selections are as wide as
the open spaces. With some
imagination, a novel acces-
sory—golf club covers, bowl-
ing bag, rifle carrying case,
files or lures, tennis balls,
waterproof jackets, camping
stoves, or ski hats, just to
name a few --how good taste
and can please him. •
