His Likes, Interests Key Ideas Shoppers Start Now, To Make Lists, See News Santa Claus is coming to town, and, right about now is the time to make up that most important gifts list — insuring the right gifts for him. Selecting gifts for every Santa on the list can be real exciting fun. The early shopper usually gets 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 he's a do-it-yourselfer,. then something to help in his next project (or the one fie'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 setof luggage, will defi- 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 - cciting% ift-'ion him—might bethe new plush robes for after showers or after hours. If 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 awide as the open spaces. With some imagination, a novel acces- sory -gam club covers, bowl- ing bag, rifle carrying case, flies or lures, tennis balls, waterproof jackets, camping stoves, or ski hats, just to name a few—show good taste and can please him. With the working day de- manding so much of today's man, gifts that help him re- lax are . in. Desk lamps, re- clining chairs, records, tape recorders, miniature TV sets, lr'1Vt radios, clock radios are excellent. `'For the man who has ev- erything, new boutiques offer sorne fresh ideas in gifts to cheer his Christmas. Early shopping isn't enough. $o says Santa, who 'mints out that his message, "Wrap up tis Christmas early," should be taken literally. All those gifts packages—to tuck into a stocking, place under a tree or mail across the miles --- need to be wrapped up early. The wrappings, from pa- per, ribbon and other ties to tags and trim, are -ready now in colorful and color -coordi- nated array at local stores. To aid Christmas shoppers in choosing the right ribbon and trim tt go with favorite wrapping papers, some of the new gift wrap ensembles fea- ture paper, ribbon, tag and. trim, all in the same package.
