Gifts for the Special People in Your Life
For Him: Desi Jersey
Dress up that special man in your life in some ethnic pride. It doesn’t matter if you’re not South Asian — the Desi Jersey ($55) from Canadian-based company Desiwear combines casual fashion with identity politics to make a head-turning statement. While you are at it, check out www.desiwear.com for an array of other gear, even for the ladies.
For Mom: Tazo Tea Beaded Box Gift Set
Oh, you know mom will love anything you give her, but these teas will make her think of you in the morning, with the Awake tea or the Earl Grey, and when she is relaxing at the end of a long day, with the Zen blend. After the 24 tea bags are gone, she can use the beautiful wooden box to store baby pictures of you, for opportune moments of embarrassment. The gift box is $24.99 from www.avalonwine.com.
For Dad: Plush House Shoes
Who says Dad can’t be pampered? These real suede-leather shoes ($14.99 at www.sandalsusa.com) are stuffed with a warm, cushy, full, plush lining that feels great on the skin. There’s one full inch of foam built inside the insole to make Dad feel as if he’s walking on clouds. They can be machine washed in cold water and air-dried, and they’re perfect for tile or hardwood floors.
For the Kiddies: Shrinky Dinks
Proving that everything comes back, Shrinky Dinks — the plastic that shrinks when you bake it — are one of the hottest gifts for kids this year. After being off the shelves for an entire decade, they are back, better than ever and being marketed by Spin Master Toys, this time with a specialized Shrinky Dinks oven machine that can be operated by kids on their own. The special oven is $24.99 at any toy store or try www.shrinkydinks.com and the special kits featuring everything from The Simpsons Shrinky Dinks to Make Your Own Jewelry Shrinky Dinks are between $5 and $12. |
