With Christmas less than two
weeks off, it is becoming increas-
gifts for those persons on your
Christmas list who have just ‘about
everything. Perhaps we can suggest
some gift items we have come
across recently which just might be
right for that, special someone on
your list.
Back Mountain and Wyoming
Valley shops abound with a variety
of beautiful and colorful items,
some practical, some decorative,
and a few here and there just right
for the person, who has everything
or doesn’t know what he or she
wants.
~For the busy executive who is
always in a hurry to make an
dppointment, Radio Shack has a
Falking Clock. for about $50. The
shop also sells an eight-digit calcu-
lator including the month and date
calendar as well as a 40 number
phone directory for $29.95.
If you and your wife or friend
enjoy gourmet dining and good the-
atre, why not a gift certificate to the
Music Box Dinner: Theatre for $18.95
each?
In the Country Carousel in the
Dallas Shopping Center, one can
purchase a lovely handcarved rock-
ing-horse for $135 or a small cradle
for $40.
Like something really unique as a
conversation piece? Why not a
handcrafted wooden wooden Mal-
lard Duck mailbox cover, con-
structed by a local resident for only
$39.50.
Next door in The Heritage Shoppe
is a wide assortment of stuffed
animals, some the usual ones on
display year-round, others very dif-
ferent as well as a beautiful such as
the large brown bear for $150 and
the life-size basset hound, both
handcrafted by Dakin.
The gift department at Back
Mountain Lumber and. Coal has
such a variety of beautiful gifts that
sometimes the shopper doesn’t
know where to begin or end. There
is little else as unusual, however,
than the bottles of Scalp Sauce for
the Balding Man at a cost of only $4.
For the infant, whose doting grand-
parents have given him or her
everything Back Mountain has a
only $20.
‘For that ‘‘special one’ in your
life, make her feel elegant with a
gift. of Waterford" lefided crystal
. ch a the brandy snpifters at Pome-
roys for only $46 each. One for her
and one for you would make a
greatly appreciated Christmas gift.
«Christian Dior’s- ‘3 Carats’’
Rhinestone pantyhose for only $12 at
Pomeroys would please any ‘‘she’
on your list, gentlemen. For the
lady in your life, who likes to look
different but be practical, why not
one of Pomeroys bright red night
shirts and tassel cap to match for a
total cost of $30.
Handknitted Icelandic sweaters. in
the color desired for male or female
may be purchased at Melba’s Fash-
ion Nook for a mere $175. Perhaps
an ultra suede clutch bag and belt
to. match in a favorite color for only
$49, also at Melba’s.
A necklace but not gold or silver,
designed in natural wood may be
purchased at Melba’s Fashion Nook
for $22.
An automatic jewelry cleaner for
man or woman can be found at Roth
Jewelry and, for the busy executive,
a .sterling silver Letter Opener for
$21.
Unusual, but beautiful and some-
& ning which becomes more valuable
as, years pass by are the varied
pewter Christmas tree ornaments at
Roth’s Jewlery for $8.50 and $9.00.
Nothing too, too expensive but
nothing too, too cheap? Why not a
Venetian glass necklace (any
length), average cost $70 or $75 at
Roth Jewelry. For mother, wife,
sister, daughter - it’s suitable for
any of them.

For the horse lover
has everything.
If the man in your life is inter-
ested in astronomy, Stroud’s can
offer you a 280X Refractor Tele-
scope for $89.98, or Hess Depart-
ment Store has a slightly less
expensive one for $69.99. If he is
energy-conscious, why not an oil-
filled electric radiator for $49.99.
Looking for a family gift, some-
thing mother, dad and children can
enjoy, then Radio Shack has some-
thing great to offer-a home com-
puter for only $139.95. Of course, the
store also has more expensive ones
if needed.
You still have someone on your
list and nothing mentioned will do?
Why not a Gourmet Gift Certificate
for some of the unique, delicious
delicacies at Kanters in the United
Penn Plaza, Kingston.
Last, but by no means least, are
two items suitable for the hard-to-
please person. A dyed blue fox
jacket at Pomeroy’s for only $595 or
a gift of conversation — the Country
Wall Telephone from TeleConcepts,
sold by Commonwealth Telephone
Co. for $119.95.
A talking camera would make a
great gift for the photographer in
the family, but we didn’t come
across one while shopping. One
could try one of the local camera
shops — we're certain they would
try to accommodate.
