in the magic of Christmas
Practical gifts for leaving home
The winning ticket
Don’t just stop at plates, bowls, glasses, cups, and utensils. You can also offer pots, pans, cookie sheets, and plastic dishes. For proud pastry chefs measuring cups, muffin and cake pans, a whisk, and wooden spoons are also essential; don’t forget a large bowl for mixing the ingredients. SOME DECORATIVE ITEMS Lamps and accent furniture are not necessarily essential, but they are very useful and make an apartment much more comfortable. Other items, such as curtains, are not always afford- able to start with. Of course, choosing the right colour can be difficult, but you can always go Oven mitts, aprons, towels, washcloths, tea towels, and dish cloths — they may not be the gifts your young person is dreaming of, but they’re so practical. And it’s better than receiving a garbage can or cleaning products! Plus, household linens can be quite expensive, so you’ll really be helping them out. The possibilities are endless; just think about what you have and what you couldn’t do without. Bathroom accessories, a toast- er, rugs, coffeemaker, and why not a choco- late fondue set too? Some of us couldn’t live without one of those! for neutral tones. HOUSEHOLD LINENS
When young people leave home to move into an apartment for the first time, often as students, there isn’t just furniture and appli- ances to think about. Here are some practi- cal gift ideas for those flying the nest and who only have a limited budget. FOR THE KITCHEN A few dishes are always useful, unless fro- zen meals are the only item on the menu!
If you have no idea what to give people this Christmas, how about offering them tickets? That’s right, tickets! But what kind of tickets? Well, there are all sorts of different ones; there is something to suit everyone on your gift list. FOR SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS
Many adults and children are sports lovers. Hockey, baseball, tennis, boxing, figure skating — there are as many possibilities as there are exciting sports. You’re sure to find tickets to suit your favourite sports fan. FOR MUSIC FANS There’s nothing like a great concert to make a music fan happy. You probably already know the groups or favourite artists of your loved ones, so all you have to do is find a show that will be put on in your area and buy some tickets before they all disappear. FOR GENEROUS HEARTS For all those who like to help people, tickets to a benefit concert or char- ity gala could be the perfect gift during the Christmas season. FOR ART LOVERS A trip to the theatre to enjoy a comedy or a drama, a classical or modern ballet, a grand opera, a symphony concert — there’s defi- nitely something for everyone! FOR THOSE WITH LADY LUCK ON THEIR SIDE Why not a lottery ticket? It’s always fun and who knows, you may be offering someone a gift of enormous value.
A first apartment needs a lot of items that we don’t always think about.
Consider giving pairs of tickets as a gift. A hockey game or a concert is so much more fun when you’re with someone else. Oh, one last detail: make sure the person you’re offering the tickets to is free on the day of the event!
