Christine's Holiday Gift List 2004
Many of us who do not feel well this season, have to do most of our shopping online. Especially with the colder
weather, and lots of walking and crowds in malls- I know I find online shopping essential.
Many friends and readers of this website have asked for my advice on some good Holiday gifts for those who might not feel well this season. So below you will find 15 Holiday Gift Suggestions to hopefully brighten someone's day. I tried to find a wide variety of gifts that will make anyone young or old, man or woman cheer up this season.
Money is always tight around the Holidays so here are 15 gifts from $70 -$10. Most of these items are on sale now to save you even more money. Sometimes it is hard to buy something for someone you know is having a hard time this holiday season- but whether you make them smile, or make them feel good...anyone of these gifts is sure to be a hit!

| 15. Breakfast
In Bed Gift set
A wonderful assortment of gourmet delights to start
the day, and a handy way to serve them with a beautiful bed tray.
Vanilla biscotti, Ghirardelli double chocolate hot cocoa,
old-fashioned pancake mix, gourmet breakfast syrup, tea and scone mix
and more fill this gift set. Beautiful mugs, matching magnets and
a napkin complete this eye-opening collection. It's so good they will be
asking for seconds. Why leave bed? |

| 14. First Aid
Only All-Purpose First Aid Kit, Softpack (106 Pieces)
Back when I was in college I was given a first aid kit by my dad. I didn't fully appreciate this gift then, but I still have it now- and I think of him whenever I use it. Minor cuts and scrapes, or the need for tylenol, I think this is the perfect gift for a parent to give a child or for anyone who doesn't have a first aid kit. College dorm room essential. |
|
| 13. Contact Back Massager,
Black Faux Suede
Going for a massage can be expensive, and for those of you who aren't blessed to be married to a masseuse can request this as a gift! Plug this in, put it on your favorite chair and just relax. This gift does all the work for you and makes you feel better in minutes! |
|
| 12. Operation - the game
I do not like real operations, but the game made me giggle when I was a kid and still does as an adult. This game has become a classic. I gave this game to a friend of mine before she unfortunately had an operation. It made a hard time less stressful as we laughed and played like we were kids. I would recommend this game to kids or adults. |
|
| 11. HAPPY For
Women By CLINIQUE Perfume
The name of this Perfume is Happy.. so how could you go wrong? This just has to brighten someone's day. The scent is so light and refreshing, that I believe anyone would love it. I have used Happy since it came out in 1997, and I am always pleased whenever i wear it. |
|
| 10. Barenaked for the
Holidays
Christmas Music CD's are always a great gift. You never buy them for yourself so you always like receiving them. I know I get bored with the same old holiday songs- so I would love this as a gift. I used to listen to the Barenaked Ladies all the time when I was in college, and their up beat sound is just as contagious with this Holiday theme. |
|
| 9. Philosophy
brand chocolate chip cookies shampoo, conditioner, & shower gel
I LOVE all the "Philosophy" brand of products. With that blanket statement being said, I also love the smell of warm chocolate chip cookies. The combination is wonderful as are most of the "philosophy" products. If chocolate chip cookies are not your sent- try some of the others, I am sure you will become addicted as I have. This gift is sure to put a smile on the recipients face every time they use it! |
|
| 8. The Happy Company
Therapeutic Head Massager Ok, I know this one looks silly... But it works wonders for headaches, and will be fun to use! Buy one for yourself, or for someone you love. It will put a smile on your face whether it genuinely feels good or if you are just laughing! Imagine watching Grandma on Christmas morning using this one! |
|
| 7. Shrek 2 DVD
Most people see "cartoon type" movies as something for children, but after seeing the "Shrek" series - I totally disagree. Anyone young or old will laugh along with these lovable characters. I have seen both Shrek 1 and 2 and I would recommend them both. |
|
| 6. The Complete
Peanuts 1950-1954 Boxed Set
The best part of the Sunday paper is reading the comics section and laughing with the gang from the Peanuts. This complete box set is a great gift for any collector, or for anybody who wants to see Snoopy as a puppy! |
|
| 5. HoMedics
ParaSpa Elite Paraffin Bath
This is one of those items you always want for yourself and never buy for yourself. My hands hurt all the time, but especially in the cold and I have always wanted one but never wanted to spend the money on myself. Why not make someone's day and show them how to "treat" themselves. |
|
| 4. Happy
Toes Microwaveable Therapeutic, Lavender, slippers
Who says only older people can have bad circulation? My feet are always cold and I know I would love these great smelling warm relaxing slippers. A great gift for so many on my shopping list! |
|
| 3. DVD Player
I can't believe DVD Players have gotten so cheap! Now they are actually affordable as gifts without having to go to the "poor house". Almost every movie now comes on DVD. For those of us home alot, a DVD player is essential. No matter what the brand- a DVD player for someone who doesn't have it, makes a great gift! |
|
| 2. Original
Sherpa Pet Bag Deluxe
Don't forget gifts for your pet! My Puppy is the love of my life, so I want to treat him well. Sherpa brand sets the standard in dog carrierers blending fashion with function, they are simply the best! Who wouldn't want this pink and black bag? |
|
| 1. OXO
Softworks 19-pc. Kitchen Tool Set
OXO "Good Grips" makes working in the kitchen easier because they are all made ergonomically to be easier on your hands. I have this set and truly couldn't live without it. My hands do not hurt nearly as much as I am preparing dinner and wish I had them sooner. This product or any of the OXO products would make the perfect gift for any cook! (or those of us trying to be) |
