Apparently, the controller needs to be removed during pitching when baseball is being used. The tennis racket light fixture requires two AA batteries.

Unless you already bought her one recently, you just can't go wrong with a nice looking watch. They're functional and pretty. Watches are typically gift-boxed for giving and come with a warranty or guarantee.  Not only that, they come in a myriad of colour ways and styles.

A watch is a pretty good gift for the $20 range.


Warm, Cozy Scarves

Have you ever felt a 100% pure Pashmina scarf? Me either, but I'd sure like to. Amazon describes these 72" x 26" beauties thusly:

"Fine wool from the undercoat of Himilayan mountain goat, raised by semi-nomadic herders. Luxurious rarity; incomparable softness, warmth and durability; extremely lightweight."

You can see why I didn't bother to paraphrase. I was too busy drooling.

These scarves come in a variety of colours and get softer the more they're worn. She will lo-ove you for this!

Victorinox knives come boxed for easy wrapping and have a lifetime warranty.  You can get this little beauty for only $15.


Keep Him Warm This Christmas

It'll only cost you $15.30 to get this trendy long sleeve V-neck for the guy on your list. It's available in 4 different colours. Features include:

  • Tri-Blend (50% Polyester / 25% Cotton / 25% Rayon) construction

Christmas Gift Idea for Him

He'll love this Axe shower detailer. The mesh side helps to clean the sensitive, delicate areas, while the other side takes care of scrubbing the tougher places.  This is meant to be used with liquid soap only and provides a great lathering clean.


Warm Vest - On Sale This Year!!!

Badger Full Zip Polyester Fleece Vest Badger Full Zip Polyester Fleece Vest

Mens Fleece Vest

A warm and cozy fleece vest will be worn by any man. This one comes in a bunch of different colours and styles.

This style of vest has side seam pockets, tab zipper, and elasticized waist. It is available in mens and boys.

Thanks to a great sale, the pricing starts at ONLY $5.10.  It is a discontinued item, so no returns on this item.

Hope This Helps

Hopefully, this hub will save you some time and money. I know that it took me hours to find all these items.

These products are all from Amazon as you can see, but that will save you even more time. Shopping online for your Christmas gifts means not having to go to crowded stores or try to find a parking spot. Heck, some gifts can be shipped gift wrapped.

If I spot more things that I think might go well here, I'll add it.

Happy Shopping & Merry Christmas!

I love these ideas and do see why you were drooling over those pashmina scarves. I'm always looking to save time and money. Thanks Shirley for helping me do some Christmas shopping. What a pal! :) (printing out)

Thanks, Susan!

Dottie, I almost didn't do this - I HATE SHOPPING. It dawned on me that I might not be the only one, so hoped it would come in handy for somebody. I'm going to be doing all my shopping online this year. I just went into a store yesterday to buy a tube of toothpaste and it took me a half hour to get out again because of the amount of people at the check-outs *shudder* I hate that.

You're very welcome, Dottie - anytime. Hope it cuts down on your shopping time.

Looks like you have a head start on writing holiday hubs Shirley! Nice recommendations for Christmas presents!

Shirley Anderson profile image

Shirley Anderson  says:

Thx, SweetiePie.  I don't normally do this type of hub, but last night decided that I can't possibly be the only one that would rather poke her eye out than go into a store at Christmastime.  All that stress makes me feel like Shirley Scrooge.

SweetiePie profile image

SweetiePie  says:

I do hubs about Christmas songs, movies, crafts, and decorating, which are easier to write about than Christmas shopping in my opinion.

VioletSun profile image

Nice ideas, Shirley. I love pashminas and have a few because sis used to have a boutique in NY that sold pashminas and bags, so since sis is a generous older sister who spoils her little sis, (that's me), she would let me have pashminas and accessories from her shop. :)

Shirley Anderson profile image

Shirley Anderson  says:

SweetiePie, people who are crafty and want to make their own Christmas stuff should definitely visit your hubs. You're so good at all of that.

ViolentSun - you are one lucky younger sister! Tell me....are the pashminas as wonderful as they sound? Thanks for coming by and commenting.

Love the hub, but where did that sexy avatar go? By the way, you should add some home made items. I'm thinking...baked goods!

You don't find the tree sexy? B.T. all of my belongings are still in crates. I have never found my cookbooks by trying to poke through the boxes, but if I do find my you-know-what recipe, I'll make it a hub unto itself and dedicate it to you. :)

Yes!  They are lightweight and keeps one warmer  than the bulky scarfs, reason why I stopped wearing bulky scarfs to keep the cold out,  when I lived in the East Coast with its harsh winters. I wear not only the scarfs but also the shawls, even here in Oregon where the weather is more temperate but it does get cool in the winter.

Christmas is coming up really fast this year and we haven't even had our Thanksgiving in the U.S. yet which is in 2 days. It is the 27th this year and usually the 21st or 22nd so Christmas will be right around the corner. I don't think about Christmas til after thanksgiving so I will see you maybe this weekend to check out a few things I like here. Glad you asked and Violet Sun answered about those scarves. ;)

Dottie - I don't know how you guys jump from Thanksgiving to Christmas like that without a breather in between. Do the stores have their Christmas stuff out before Thanksgiving's over?

C.S. - LOL, I knew you were a peeker! I just don't feel right about calling you furry pants anymore! My God, what kind of beauty regime are your using?? I want to get my hands on some of it.

Dottie1 profile image

Dottie1  says:

LOL...Shirley, after Christmas and before you switch back to original avatar would you consider giving us woman a really hawt hunk of a guy for your next avatar, would you at least think about it Shirley.  This is my Christmas wish to you! :)

p.s. if you do get your hands on some of that regime would you share it with me?

Shirley Anderson profile image

Shirley Anderson  says:

Dottie, I will definitely consider it!! Any requests? Of course, it may confuse my family members that come on here.

Absolutely nothing wrong with you! If I use Mel Gibson, everybody that knows me will expect it. However, maybe Hugh Jackman. Hmm, I'll have to think about that. Maybe Compu-Smart will lend me someone from his idandy site.

I placed my order. Shirley if you get my credit card # I beg you not to order me any more F-cup cookies....you've sent enough!

btw those axe gift sets are currently unavailable. boo hoo!

Shirley Anderson profile image

Shirley Anderson  says:
12 months ago

Hey Dottie, you sure you wouldn't like to biggie size that order with just one more case of F-cup cookies? I'm sure they'll give you a good deal seeing as how you've purchased so many already. :) Do they work, by the way? Sorry to hear about the Axe gift sets, sounds like it was one of the things on your list, too. My grandson loves that stuff.

I've looked through Amazon Canada, but it doesn't have all the neat stuff that the American site does, which is sad. I was looking forward to getting all my shopping done through them and have everything shipped together. Oh, well.

Hey again Dottie, thanks so much for shopping Shirl-Mart! We appreciate your business!! Hope it's all wonderful.

Dottie1 profile image

Dottie1  says:
12 months ago

Well since we are working on project Canada maybe I'll bring some of those cookies with me for a snack with our wine.  You'll see how they worked when I get there :)

And thanks, I really enjoyed shopping Shirl-Mart today! My warm neck will soon thank you for it :)

Great hub. I am on a budget and these gift ideas are a great relief after looking through store after store after store and only finding great gifts that cost over fifty dollars. That is a tough way to shop for a sinlge mother of four. Trust me. I know.

How about a hub for Christmas Gifts for people you don't like very much, but have to get them something, anyway?

Shirley Anderson profile image

Shirley Anderson  says:
12 months ago

Why thanks very much, Joe! Hmm, something for grinches you're obliged to buy for but don't really want to....if I had the answer to that, I'd make my fortune. Have you considered booze, cash or gift certificates? Perhaps a season's pass to your comedy shows? Maybe not, if they're grumpy they might heckle you. Oh, I know! Dinner for two somewhere (gift certificate). Everybody has to eat, even persnickety people.

None of this helps, does it?

This is a great article and very befitting for the current economic state. Going traditional is great especially with the board game ideas you put on here - I would like to get members of my family away from the Playstation and Xbox (which is like pulling teeth). I dont know how well Gumby would go over (jk) but this really is a very simple and to the point article - It my pleasure to read this. thank you

Great suggestion for the Wii nunchuck - it allows you to play boxing, easily the most fun (but exhausting) game with the system!

It's definitely quite a workout. You are seriously sore afterwards, if you take it seriously. A middle-N sounds an awful lot like a middle-M - in-patient can easily sound like impatient. :-)
