- Holiday Gift Guide, Supplement to The Post, Tuesday, November 26, 2013

The Animal Lover nimal lovers are some of the easiest friends and family members to shop for because of the amount of pet products on the market. But that doesn’t mean you should simply buy Fido a new food bowl and forget about it. A

GET CREATIVEYour local doggie boutique will

happily tailor most of their products with animals’ names or photos.

Cute pet ornaments will provide holiday cheer for years to come, while customized photo gifts like blankets, pillows and mugs are great options for animal lovers who can’t stand to be away from their pets.

Putting the time and thought into customizing a gift for the animal fanatics in your life will show that you care about both them and their pets.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

A well-behaved pet makes for a happy owner. Treat the animal lover in your life to professional training sessions that will break their pets of bad habits like jump-ing, pawing and whining for attention.

Training programs are often available through local community colleges or at independent pet trainers’ facilities. Do some research to find a certified, reputable trainer, and surprise your loved one with paid admission to a professional training seminar.

Their gift eventually will be a perfectly behaved pet.

DONATIONSThere are a multitude of differ-

ence-making organizations like the Humane Society and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that are continually seeking dona-tions to fund special projects and initiatives.

What better way to make your friend or family member feel like

they are advocating for mistreated pets everywhere than by making a donation in their name?

The money you donate could help return an abused dog back to health or buy a cozy blanket for a rescued cat.

EXOTICSSome animal lovers are dog peo-

ple, and some are crazy for cats. But

what if your friend or loved one is neither?

Not to worry. Gifts for snakes, iguanas and exotic birds are just as easy to come by.

Exotic lovers are always in need of cage accessories to help keep things exciting for their pets who don’t get out much. And there are a wide array of books full of tips on cleaning, feeding and caring for those wild and wacky pets.

The Gadget Lover he results are in: People love gadgets, so much so that it is common-

place to see friends and family members with their fingers tapping and their earbuds in.T

GAMING SYSTEMSVideo games aren’t just for

kids anymore. Adults take them seriously, too.

With the progressive improve-ment of graphics and platforms, gaming is an activity that spans all ages. Exclusive platforms like the Sony Playstation, Microsoft Xbox or the Nintendo Wii can all be enhanced with various gaming accessories and add-ons.

These extra devices can help improve user interfaces, quality of graphics and interactivity.

DIGITAL CAMERASCameras sure have come a

long way. Long gone are the days of film development and manually winding between pictures.

Point-and-shoot cameras give users a no-hassle tool for taking photos without all of the bells and whistles. If your gadget lover is proficient with digital cameras, you can upgrade to the consumer-grade options that take profession-al-quality photographs.

Also sure to please are conve-nient carry cases, neck lanyards, memory cards and printing paper.

SMARTPHONESNew smartphone models launch

at an incredible frequency, making

it difficult to keep up with the latest and greatest prototype. But if your gadget lover doesn’t mind an older model, you can actually use the ever-evolving smart-phone landscape to your advantage.

Phone companies often offer the prior models at substantial discounts – some-times even for no cost. And don’t forget the protective case, car charger and gift card for music downloads.

GPSEven Santa can

use a little help with direction every now again. Turn-by-turn global positioning systems provide location, time information, weather conditions and esti-mated time of arrival.

Some GPS units include lifetime map updates, tough screens and lane assistance. Others provide high-resolu-tion screens, Bluetooth

and traffic updates. From the new driver learning

how to safely navigate his or her way through unfamiliar roads, to

the experienced driver in a new geographic location, the GPS makes for the perfect Christmas gift.

The Kitchen MasterF

UTENSILSEver see your friend or loved

one struggle to find the right utensil for the job? Maybe their kitchen tools are a bit outdated or unorganized?

Put an end to that inconven- ience by giving them upscale models of utensils like bowls, mixers, knives and silverware.

From brightly colored to modernly sleek, kitchen product manufacturers have found a way to make cooking look good.

The market is also ripe with products that will help organize spices, utensils, and foods, which will open up the most valuable tool to most kitchen masters – counter space.

GIVE THEM A BREAKEven the most passionate

cooks and foodies need a night away from the stove. Gift certifi-cates to trendy, high-end restau-rants can be a great option, and can also serve to inspire new ideas in the kitchen.

It’s the thought that counts, but don’t forget the details. Many larger establishments will require reserva-tions, so choose a weekend evening and make it a well-planned out night on the town.

SEND THEM TO CLASS

Many chef training programs offer one-time or ongoing courses, depending on what would work best for your recipient’s schedule.

Surprising them with high-level instruction could help turn their hobby into an art and teach them the necessary techniques to thrive in the kitchen.

Check in with your local colleges to find the right class, as most institutions offer a broad range of options.

GO ORGANICAs the interest in using organic

ingredients transforms from a trend to an obsession in many kitchens throughout the United States, it might be a good idea to consider going organic with this year’s Christmas present.

Local grocers have expanded the number of organic products – fresh and packaged – that they keep in stock.

You can also find local farmers who raise their livestock with no growth hormones and offer holiday gift packages of fresh, healthy meat selections.

rom the store shelves to the kitchen, these gifts will make a major impact on the kitchen master in your life.

The Musician

ACCESSORIESNothing can ruin band practice quicker

than broken drum sticks or lost guitar picks. Make sure your aspiring musicians have plenty of both by filling their stocking with their favorite kinds of each.

Drumsticks come in a slew of sizes, weights and brands, so do your research before buying. For picks, many companies sell punchers that allow guitarists to turn old credit cards and IDs into functional guitar picks.

PROFESSIONAL LESSONSAs long as the musician in your life

doesn’t misunderstand your gesture, professional music lessons would make for a great gift.

Local music shops offer a casual environment for lessons, with private rooms, top-quality equipment and vastly talented instructors.

Stores often offer packages that allow students to pick their own schedules, too, making lessons convenient and low stress. A sharpened skill set is a gift that could last a lifetime and open doors for future opportunities.

CONCERT TICKETSMusicians were obviously inspired to

play by other great artists, orchestras or bands. Find out who convinced them to pick up their first guitar or horn, and

check their websites for upcoming shows.

Concert tickets would make for a great gift under the Christmas tree and can foster lifelong memo-ries. Music festivals are gaining popularity and provide music fans the opportunity to check out multiple performers all in one central location.

Be on the lookout for any upcom-ing festivals in your area. Tickets will be a little pricier, but they will provide a weekend full of entertain-ment.

MEMORABILIAMusicians love to be reminded of

the places they have played or the concerts they have attended. A little work on your part can help them collect and maintain such memories forever.

Many bands and performers offer memorabilia like collectible album covers, self-produced artwork and T-shirts, not to mention auction-type items that have been signed by the artists themselves.

If you’re ordering signed memora-bilia, though, make sure you are buying from qualified vendors who can produce the proper documenta-tion to prove the items’ credibility.

usicians make beautiful art for all of us to sing along to and enjoy. Finding them the perfect gift can help ensure that they keep doing more of the same. M

ON DISPLAYIf the workaholic in your life has

earned important college degrees or training certifications, help them show them off to the world.

A colored frame holding their hard-earned diploma and matching the office décor would be a wel-come addition to any professional environment.

And don’t stop with their educa-

tional certificates. Find motivational statements and have them printed on vinyl at your local press. Then stick them to your friend or family member’s wall for a constant source of motivation.

The Workaholic


The Volunteer

DONATIONSMost charities offer opportunities to donate in another person’s

name. Volunteers are generally involved in various organizations that are always seeking financial assistance.

The volunteer in your life is focused on providing sweat equity and hard work to advance these organizations’ goals, so making a mone-tary donation in their name will help them feel even more invested.

CUSTOMIZED GIFTSThink back to all of the volunteer activities that your friend or family

member has partaken in over the course of the year. Any pictures you have from those events would make great keepsake gifts, either framed or as part of a self-created book.

With their packed calendars of events, volunteers rarely have time to realize the impact they are making on their communities. Customized gifts will help them understand.

GET PERSONALLooking for a special way to show your appreciation? How about a

hand-written letter? The best gifts come from the heart, and there aren’t many better ways to show your gratitude or love than to put it down on paper.

The heartfelt gesture will make an immediate impact and will also be something they hold onto forever. You can even recruit others to get involved with the gift and ask them to contribute by penning a few kind words.

A TRIPFor a pricier gift option, a trip to an area in need might be just

what the volunteer in your life would love the most. Finding a trip that is equal parts relaxation and charitable work can be challenging, so collaborate with your local travel agency to explore your options. They are specialists in both national and international travel and will be able to target that perfect trip. © FOTOLIA / AP

olunteers by their very nature are givers, not receivers. So even though they may not request any gift in particular for Christmas, it is our job to let them know their efforts are appreciated. V

(Continued from Page 11) miles can create discomfort in the back and neck areas. Your gift can

help. Find a cushioned wedge that is

designed to improve posture and align the spine. While you’re at it, why not buy the perfect leather chair to accompany the wedge? The extra support in a new chair will help alleviate some back pain, while the leather finish will deliver serious style points.

GEARNot all jobs are spent behind

a desk or in a corner office with a view. Some professionals get dirty for a living, working in con-struction, landscaping or auto repair.

Give them the gift of comfort with new work boots, warm flan-nels, and even knee pads to help get them through laborious conditions. Heavy-duty thermos-es, lunch boxes and coffee mugs can also help make the work day a little less strenuous.

ACCESSORIESIf your workaholic is burning

both ends of the business candle, he or she is also mostly likely on the phone or tablet – a lot.

Enhance their digital experience with productivity applications, music gift cards or a new, heavy-duty case.

A hands-free Bluetooth kit can help ensure the safety of your work-focused friend or family mem-ber while they are driving from one meeting to the next, while also pro-viding them instant, convenient access to incoming business calls.

Find us on

We all strive to be healthy and active, but some of us take it to the next level. For the weekend warriors among us, there are ample gift options.

INSPIRATIONEven the amateur athlete needs

to be inspired to perform. From football to squash – and every sport in between – there is a tell-all book or in-depth biography out there detailing the lives and careers of professional athletes.

Some are meant to tug on the heartstrings, while others are writ-ten to motivate athletes to perform. There is also no shortage of how-to books that would make perfect gifts for those weekend golfers who are always looking for an edge.

EQUIPMENTThe beauty of most sports at

their core is their simplicity, and the limited amount of equipment required to enjoy them. A shiny new basketball or a bag of bright green tennis balls might not cost much, but they are obviously cru-cial in athletes’ abilities to stay active, fit and healthy.

And equipment doesn’t have to be limited to bats, balls or hockey sticks. Large water bottles, pedom-eters and helmets are great gifts for cyclists who spend their week-ends scaling mountains or compet-ing in fast-paced road races.

MEMBERSHIPLocal country clubs and athletic

centers often offer specials on their

membership packages, especially during slow seasons.

Take advantage of those winter golf rates or tennis dues for a unique gift that will keep your weekend warrior busy for months to come.

Joining a club can also mean never having to wait for tee times or court space, the availability of excellent facilities and overall savings on weekly games.

RECOVERYWeekend warriors can some-

times push themselves a bit past their limits. For those instances, a gift card to the chiropractor might come in handy. Or how about a small gift basket filled with various ointments, heating pads, and com-pression wraps?
