But When grandmothers knit socks and maiden aunts knit mittens for giving year after - year, some of the thrilling anticipation is lost,. A smart way to add sparkle to Christmas is with home gifts. They can be useful, as • well as decorative, or purely novelty items. And believe it or not, there are home gifts to please every member of the family.

Decorative pillows, wall hanging's, vases, lamps- and' mirrors make charming room- mates for the feminine set. There are alsomany home gifts that have appeal to males. Alarm clocks make per- fect gifts for boys who find it easy to get up forfootball games on Saturday but dif- ficult to meet the school bus on time. Lamps and desk furnish- ings can make rooms more bright and cheerful for boys to study in. For the more mature males on the list—Dad, for instance —reclining chairs and has - sots are excellent places to rest tired bodies and minds.
