The Lucknow Sentinel, 1986-12-03, Page 45Men should observe a
few simple rules when
shopping for Christmas
The holiday season is traditionally
a time of good cheer and family
gatherings. Many fond memories
and happy moments are created
when giving, and receiving gifts.
But some men, when buying gifts
for women, experience problems
that can ruin the holiday spirit.
Large crowds, big; busy department
stores and little knowledge of the
latest fashions are just some of the
problems men run into when buying
gifts for women.
Most retail experts agree that
adherence .to a few simple rules can
reduce or even dismiss shopping
anxieties. Shoppers are advised to
shop early to assure better selection
Men should also shop in smaller
retail stores, where expert help and
personal attention is available.
It's also important to ask the
salesperson pertinent questions
about the item and to determine if it
can be returned or exchanged.
Men shopping for holiday gifts
should remember favorite colors and
dress,'blouse and pants sizes.
Knowledge of the latest fashions
helps, when buying the ideal gift.
Big traditional holiday gifts in-
clude sweaters, furs and dresses.
Specifically,. large blouses with,
wrap-around belts and angora/silk
blend beaded sweaters make ex-
cellent gift ideas.

Some advance planning
helps when buying gifts
for._ the men in your life
Instead of wandering through the
stores hoping to come upon the right
gifts for the men in your life (always
the most difficult), do some advance
planning by thinking in categories.
Once you decide on a category,
you'll be better able to think of an
item or at least limit yourself to
certain stores or departments.
Here are some examples to start
you thinking:
• Keepsakes: Coins and stamps are
a possibility (flea markets are a
good place to look). A family or in-
dividual portrait — traditional or
humorous - is uniquely personal..
Museum reproductions, (from mugs
to sculptures) make exciting
alternatives.
• Step-up: Lightweight silk long
underwear provides more warmth
• without bulk for outdoor winter ac-
tivities. A better razor, such as a
deluxe electric razor that charges in
less than an hour for two to three
weeks of use, will give pleasure all
year long. An electric blanket with
dual control setting can keep you
both comfortable.
Does he appreciate elegance? A
classy pen and pencil set for office
and/or jacket pocket will.be with
him wherever he goes.
• Special Interests: Many men have
a favorite sport or hobby; whether
he's a participant or spectator,
clothing or other items with team
names and logos is an idea.' Ac- ' (
cessories for sports and hobbies will
also be enjoyed. How about an elec-
tronic handheld game such as back-
gammon, chess or football.
Books about his interests are a
good bet. Or you might buy a
subscription to a special interest
magazine, journal or newsletter to °
keep happy reminders of Christmas
and you arriving regularly
throughout the year.
