Sharp Christmas Gift Ideas to be Given TO the Hard-to-Please FROM the Uninspired and/or Busy Shopper We’ve all got one or two people on our gift list that are just ‘impossible.’ You could always send a box of candy, flowers or a can of popcorn, but that shows so little thought. Here are some nice ideas, sure to please, easy to order, in differing price ranges, arranged by type. 1. Doesn’t care about Christmas, but is patriotic to the core? Lives in Alabama but made a trip to see the scene of the terrorism? Get the Polonaise Forever ornament ( http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=1417623&web_id=1 417623&sz=0&sf=hs&dept=HS0026&cat=HS0027&subcat=&gs=&attr=&prev=h p!sf!dept!cat ). Oddly named, this ornament is described as “a patriotic and symbolic show of support for NY City and the US.” On one side the Twin Towers with three firefighters and an American flag with banner reading “Forever in Our Hearts”. On the other side, Statue of Liberty in front of Twin Towers with banner in red, white and blue saying “God Bless America.” 2.More into “Western” than anything else? Get the Western Christmas Tree Skirt ( http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=1058898&web_id=1 058898&sz=0&sf=hs&dept=HS0026&cat=HS0027&subcat=&gs=&attr=&prev=h p!sf!dept!cat ). 3. They’ve “been there, done that” and are kind of blasщ, but not about their grandchildren. Get the recordable talking photo ornaments. Add photo of grandkids and their voices, or a Christmas carol ( http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=1450443&web_id=1 450443&sz=0&sf=hs&dept=HS0026&cat=HS0027&subcat=&gs=&attr=&prev=h p!sf!dept!cat ). 4 The heck with Christmas, let’s get on to the Super Bowl? Try the Tailgate Blender ( http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview.jhtml?pid=4 6757500&pcatid=39064300&catid=35023500 ). Just plug it into the dash, half price now. 5 Classic. You can’t go wrong with classic, and this is just-enough different. Fresh evergreen wreath ( http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=1524686&web_id=1 524686&sz=0&sf=hs&dept=HS0026&cat=&subcat=&gs=&attr=&prev=hp!sf!d ept ), red bow, lights, indoor use. 6 Okay the holidays are here, but what’s the weather going to be like tomorrow? And will there be snow in Arkansas where the kids are? For the fussy weather watcher, try the Personal Weather Station Five ( http://www.windandweather.com/store/Gift_Guide___For_Weather_Watc hersID6688? ). Description: “It monitors temperatures at your base station and up to three remote locations, without wires. The atomic clock – the most accurate chronometer you can get – features alarm and date. Big LCD readout simultaneously displays remote and base unit temperatures, with minimums, maximums, and trends.” Don’t you just KNOW someone who needs this?? 7. For the cell phone nut who can never remember to recharge it which could be most of us, right? Get the SideWinder Cell Phone Charger ( http://www.windandweather.com/store/Gift_Guide___Gifts_Under__50_ 00GR2318? ). 2 Н oz., says it works with “most” cell phones. 8. She’s romantic and you have very little money. Try the floating star candles for the bath ( http://www.bath-and-body.com/productlist_candles.asp?department=1 5 ). 3-pack just $2. you can add the “bath experience”! 9. They’ve got everything but do entertain and go all out decorating? Try Christmas soap. Give this gift early so they’ll have it for their parties. Swedish soap collection has soaps imprinted with “Be Good” and “Be Nice”, peppermint star soap and more. http://www.hamptonct.com/index.cgi/cart_id=1070400750.18856/vendo r=Swedish%20Christmas%20Soap More family-oriented?
