Holiday Gift Guide 3

HOME OFFICE HITS Give a working-from-home pal a gift that gets the job done

By Nancy Mattia

If you’ve run out of gift ideas for your sports-loving family member or foodie friend, what can you get them? If they work remotely — as millions of others now do — gift them with a stylish something for their home office that will make doing their business a little easier.

4 Holiday Gift Guide

1—Design Ideas Pencil Cup Don’t laugh: Your loved one may be living the digital life but sometimes there’s nothing better than using a pen to jot down a quick reminder, to-do list, or phone number. That means he’ll need a place to keep some pens neatly organized on his desk. Try a matte black holder from the Rebrilliant collection. These have a simplicity that will look good with any office decorating style, no matter if it’s traditional, contemporary, or somewhere in between; wayfair.com. $18 Times-Call—TimesCall.com

2—Kate Spade Grass Cloth File Folder Organizer You don’t have to be an uberdeclutterer to appreciate this handsome organizer covered with grass cloth and a metal detail.

Instead of receipts and notes scattered all over the desk and piles of folders on the floor, everything will have a place within this three-compartment file folder organizer that sits neatly on a desk; perigold.com. $28

3 3—Sonos Move Smart Portable Wifi and Bluetooth Speaker Though most computers are equipped with a built-in speaker, having a separate one can make a world of difference. You can find a portable speaker in various sizes and shapes.

One to consider: the Move portable Bluetooth speaker. It comes with a hefty price tag but its audio quality and ease-of-use make it an especially nice gift for someone on your holiday list; sonos.com. $399

4—TaoTronics LED Desk Lamp Overhead lighting isn’t enough for someone who sits at a desk all day.

The TaoTronics LED Desk Lamp is attractive, affordable, with customizable brightness and color (white, cool, natural, yellow, warm yellow).

The lamp can be adjusted so its light is exactly where it’s needed and USB output recharges a phone while keeping it close; amazon.com. $40

5—West Elm Fluted Planter Liven up their office with a tabletop plant in a pretty planter. Give them an elegant earthenware fluted crystal gold planter that comes in four sizes (small to large) including a cute windowsill version. Add an easy-to-grow plant like a succulent or philodendren and you’ve got a gift that will thrive as much as the gift’s recipient; westelm.com. From $39

2—Alpaca Blend Socks These cozy alpaca blend socks are fair trade from talented artisans in Peru. Alpaca fiber is warmer and softer than sheep wool due to the fiber construction, and the natural lack of lanolin in alpaca wool is less likely to cause the itching that can occur from sheep wool. They are available in a large variety of patterns for men and women.

Gifts for the Mountain Sports Enthusiast Do you have skiers, boarders, fly fishers, or outdoorsy people in your life? Living in Colorado, how could you not? Angles Sports is full of unique useful gifts and friendly knowledgeable staff to help you pick out the perfect unique gift. They also offer gift certificates, and have a very flexible return/exchange policy if you want something to wrap and put under the tree.

1 1—SMITH Helmets Did you know that ski helmets should be replaced at least every 5 years, and some experts say every 3 years? Another fact is that you are more likely to get hurt by someone else running into you on the mountain, than you are by running into something or someone else yourself. Angles Sports carries a full line of SMITH helmets to protect the ones you love and help them look good too.

3—Dry Guy Boot and Glove dryer Sledding, skiing, boarding, snowball fights? They are all more fun with warm dry gloves, hats, helmets, and clothing. Your clothes dryer works great for clothing, but not the best for boots and can ruin the waterproof qualities of gloves quickly. Angles Sports has a variety of glove and boot dryers by Dry Guy to keep your crew happy and warm.

4—Guided Fly Fishing Trip and Gear

Fly fishing is an art, a sport and an intellectual game which involves patience and takes place in pristine places. A great place to start is with a guided trip/lesson and some basic equipment. Angles Sports offers guided trips into Rocky Mountain National Park which are tailored to each individual guest and a fly fishing shop in downtown Longmont that is full of the latest greatest gear. Expert staff is always happy to help you pick out the perfect gift for your favorite angler.

The hottest and newest holiday GIFTS FOR KIDS

By Eriik J. Martiin

Worried that brick-and-mortar toy stores are practically extinct? Concerned that US Postal Service problems and international shipping delays are going to get in the way of punctual gift-giving to a beloved tyke this year? Stressed out at the prospect of trying to find the right toy, game, doll, or other age-appropriate present?

Fear not, faithful readers. We’ve scoured the retail landscape and come up with a list of worthy gift candidates to consider for children ages three through 13. Read on for ideas across three different price categories, each of which can be bought safely online with the peace of mind that your designated young one likely doesn’t already possess it.

Gifts under $25 1—SoaPen Pan Soap Pen for Kids This hand soap enables kids to draw before scrubbing up. They scribble fun designs all over their hands, then slightly wet their hands, rub to create a lather, and rinse off. The product’s stain-free and gentle formula is designed to teach kids to wash their hands for a recommended 20 to 40 seconds so they can appropriately get all that colorful soap drawing off their skin, while also allowing them to be creative. ($15; Soapen. com)

2—Puzzle Trucks This product, winner of the Teachers Choice award and available in six different designs, encourages younger kids to develop problem-solving and fine motor skills while having frustration-free fun with a 3D stacking puzzle, containing parts that mix-and-match.

8—Goliath Doggie Doo game Sooner or later, nearly every kid asks to get a dog. To teach them one of the most important responsibilities about owning a canine, get than this game, in which you feed a small plastic dog a bone, watch as he – ahem – goes number two, and collect the endproduct. The player that scoops up the most doggy-doo wins the game. Laugh if you will, but poop talk is popular in families these days. ($25; Goliathgames.us)

9—Brushalot Tooth Fairy Kit Made by parents and for parents and caregivers faced with the battle of the brush, this kit encourages children to better care for their pearly whites and develop healthy oral hygiene habits. Included are a tooth-shaped nightlight, hardcover storybook, plush toy horse, and a saddle that keeps lost teeth safe. When a child loses a tooth, the nightlight glows blue, signaling the tooth fairy that a tooth is ready for pickup. ($43; Brushalot.com)

10—RobeCurls Moms often dread curling their daughters’ hair. But this new headband product easily curls your hair without the need for uncomfortable rollers or a curling iron. Add some spring to your child’s mane without the fuss. ($28; Robecurls. com)

Gifts over $50 11—Einova Ultra Fast Power Bank If there’s one thing middle schoolers appreciate more than ever nowadays it’s portable power on the go.

($99; Fossilcrates.com)

13—Gift of College gift card Instead of getting them clothes, stuffed animals, or action figures, why not contribute to a child’s college savings account? These gift cards, available in denominations of $25 up to $200, can be redeemed as a contribution to any 529 college savings account. They also serve as a great way to reinforce to a child the importance of salting away for the future. (any amount; Giftofcollege.com/purchasegiftcard)

The hottest and newest holiday GIFTS FOR ADULTS

By Erik J. Martin

If you think kids are hard to please, try buying the perfect present for a grownup these days. Plenty of adult loved ones will tell you they don’t want anything or leave you lacking in the gift ideas department, while others suggest a product that’s either out of stock or beyond your budget.

Fortunately, we’ve attempted to simplify matters by researching worthy retail offerings available this holiday season. Save time and hassle by checking out our gift guide below. Here are our recommendations across three different price points.

Gifts under $25 1—Cocktail Box Cocktail Kit

Choose from Butter Almond Toffee, made with real butter and fresh caramelized almonds; Reindeer Crunch, a salted caramel popcorn blend with caramelized walnuts, cashews, and pecans drizzled with chocolate; Chocolate Peppermint, lightly glazed with three different types of chocolate and sprinkled with allnatural crushed peppermint candies; and Gingerbread, boasting molasses-candied popcorn topped with craft white chocolate, sliced almonds, and chunks of molasses cookies. (from $22.50)

3—Artifact Uprising large-format print Have a treasured photograph that’s worth supersizing and framing? Consider getting that picture printed on archival fine art paper designed to make colors pop, and give it as a cherished gift to your best-est friend, partner, coworker, or relative. Go that extra step and think visual this holiday season. (from $22; Artifactuprising.com)

Check out the Stolen at Sea game, in which players are first-class passengers aboard a 1923 steamship sailing from England to Cairo with valuable secret cargo aboard. All players need to collaborate carefully and sift through books, photographs, maps, and other materials to uncover hidden clues, solve intriguing puzzles, and unlock mysterious document bags to rescue a stolen artifact before the ship pulls into port.

26 Holiday Gift Guide

If you want to give that someone special a completely custom gift that they’ll never absolutely never forget, consider paying an actor, athlete, musician, politician, or other celebrity on Cameo for a oneof-a-kind personalized video message in which they address your recipient by name. If you can swing the price, you can nab a message from the likes of Drew Brees, Ric Flair, Snoop Dogg, or Ted Nugent; if you’re on a budget, you may be able to get Nadia Comaneci, Tia Carrere, or Ozzie Guillen for less than $50. (prices vary; Cameo.com)

10—OnePlus Buds Pro earbuds Finding the ideal wireless in-ear headphones that don’t skimp on sound or build quality isn’t easy. But this brand-new pair has garnered a lot of praise since its debut in September. Among the features are hybrid active noise cancellation that yields powerful audio and crystal-clear phone calls, smart adaptive noise cancellation that drowns out undesirable sound frequencies, a ridiculous battery life (38 hours of listening time on a single charge), and an IP55 rating – meaning it’s sweat and waterresistant.
