Most Men Claimed Late Shoppers;
Hints To Make Purchases Easier
Though stores in almost every
communty have set up shopping
nights for "Men Only," personal
shoppers' assistance, special
aisles and booths of gifts for
men's choosing still they tend
to be "last minute shoppers."
No matter what "shopping
shock absorbers" are created
no matter how early and broadly
wives, sweethearts, mothers and
sisters may hint as to what they
want the last few days and
hours before Christmas Eve, find
the men flocking to the stores
wearing a "do-it-now-or-die" ex
pression, in complete bewilder
ment as to what to buy.
More Money, Less .Thought
These late, late shoppers
retailers say generally spend
more money and less thought
for their gifts than if they had
shopped earlier.
There's the late-shopper type
who bus his wife a sheer black
negligee though she's dropped
oodles of hints for a new steam
iron. And, the gentleman who
hurriedly selects an exorbitant
bottle of perfume' that the little
woman later puts aside to "look
at," because she hates to squan
der the precious liquid.
So, gentlemen if you still
haven't made out your gift list,
here are a few ideas that are bud
get and women-pleasing, too.
No woman ever seems to have
too many smart pieces of jew
elry. Just take note whether her
fancy is for necklaces, pins, ear
rings or an armful of bracelets.
This year's collection is dazzling
and exciting!
Circle Her Middle'
If she's the suit type or the
blouse and skirt type then
"circle her middle" with a hand
some belt or give her a lovely
blouse or wrap her in the ele
gance of a cuddly soft sweater.
Here your choice can be the lus
cious miracle yarns of orlon or
nylon or the ultimate in lux
ury cashmere!
Handbags too, . always are
most appreciated by the gals
as will be smart leather gloves
or a trim, new umbrella!
So many exciting little, little
furs, can be big gift news for
the feminine gender such as a
gay fox collar to wear on dresses
or sweaters. Or a pretty muff
or a furry beret! Yes, Christmas
can be a furry flurry of enchant
ment when a man is truly gift
wise. If she's a smoker perhaps
she'd like a trim lighter or a
slim cigarette case or a gay
cigarette holder.
If she's neat 'n fastidious,
there are many, many purse ac
cessories for tidy arrangements
of cosmetics, money, keys,
papers, addresses, etc.
And now " if you're still In
doubt; give her a gift certificate
in the amount you would have
spent at her favorite 3hop
and, let her do her very own
choosing.
See! Early gift shopping can
be simple. So men let's go
shopping now!.
Clever Wrapping Reflects
Joy of Holiday Package
A lot of love goes into the
gifts you give at Christmastime
so let your clever wrappings re
flect the joy with which they are
given! Half the fun of gift-giving
can be thinking up new and gay
ideas for holiday-bright wrap
pings. You'll find a wealth of imagin
ative wrappings at your favorite
stationers. Never have they been
so distinctive in design, so eye
catching in color! This year's
seals, ribbons, tapes, and tags
plus the gay assortment of
paper will make any package
a real gift thrill!
Simple Rules
The simple rules for gift-
wrapping make it easy to tackle
the job with success and a lot of
fun. , . ' .
First,' always use a box and
measure your gift paper care
fully. Use tape to fasten the
package as you wrap and you'll
have a much neater package. At
tach your perky bows separately
with ribbon or tape for a really
effective package.
' To make a large, fluffy bow,
loop it over and over your fin
gers to the desired size. With a
separate piece of ribbon, tie it
in the center and fasten to the
ribbon on the box. Then fluff it
out by separating the loops.
For a flat bow, loop the ribbon
back and under in graduated
sizes and tie in the center. ,,
Cotton gift ribbon can be curl
ed by pulling it across the edge
of the scissors.
When you place , your gaily
wrapped gifts under the tree or
deliver them to a friend, let them
express your imaginative
touches.
Sprigs of Holly . .
It is fun to tuck sprigs of holly
through the bow, tie little tink
ling bells on the end of your
ribbon, or fasten miniature
Christmas ornaments into the
center of each bow.
Perhaps you'll want to make
your package very distinctive!
Try deep-toned paper tied with
lacy gold ribbon . . . use perky
red and white checked shelf
paper and tuck a candy cane into
each bow . . . put a clever cut
out figure on each package . . .
or highlight each package with
an extra little gift slipped
through the bow. These little
extras can be fun a wooden
spoon for the homemaker, a
rattle on a baby's gift, or a
packet of seeds for the garden
lover.
Be sure to allow plenty of time
for planning your gift-wrap-theme!
Remember, even a tiny
remembrance takes on new
meaning when your gift-wrapping
shows that a lot of time and
imagination have gone into mak
ing it a clever and cheery
messenger of your love at
Christmas!
good fit.
Yes, you'll flatter her femin
inity if you choose something to
embellish her wardrobe.
No girl, but no girl, ever seems
to have too many sweaters. So
make it a sweater Christmas
for her in either a classic style
or one that foretells glamour
times with its glitter-sparkle or
dainty fur trim.
A good, really-good skirt in
tweed or one of the magic fib
ers will thrill her with every
wearing.
And from tailored "boyshirts"
in white stripes, conversation
piece patterns, or in bright col
or to flattery-spelling dressy
blouses, there's an "on-top"
choice for your particular girl.
If she likes the wind and the
rain, an exciting new raincoat
with matching umbrella or hat
will have her saying, "it isn't
raining rain to me."
For sportswomen and outdoor--lovers
there are many jackets
in everything from furry alpaca
to buttery-soft suedes to put her
at ease in smart comfort in any
weather.
Too, she may welcome a rain
or shine stormcoat or wrap
her in the elegance of a velvet
jacket or even full-length coat.
Sleek handbags; gloves of
leather, wool, or fabric; a box
ful of hosiery; distinctive hand
kerchiefs all are welcome
gifts for gals.
With suits and jumpers, dress
es and coordinates wearing easy,
relaxed lines, surely she'll take
a fancy to the fancies in scarves,
neckwear and lingerie-touched
accessories that brighten this
season's fashions.
Nothing but nothing can give
the excitement that does a gift
of fur and your selection can
be lovely, luxurious and not
terribly expensive if you select
a small cape, a stole, a tiny
jacket or a scarf in a fine fur!
Let these little gifts make her
Christmas a "big one" be
cause these are the gifts every
girl wants, needs and treasures
for long times to come.
Two Pennsylvania communi
ties, Riverside, California, and
Salem, Oregon were the first
towns m the U. S. to sponsor the
lighting of outdoor Christmas
trees. Though widely separated
in their geographic locations, all
four of these towns "lit up" in
1913.
Slippers Considered Excellent Gift Buy
You'll want to slip her into
slippers to make it a "Merry
Christmas from toe-to-head."
