Still looking for that perfect holiday gift?

The Christmas Gift Guide has a great list of Gifts For Your Furry Friends if you are looking for something special for the furry members of your family this holiday season! They have a beautiful Catitude tea infuser mug and tea kettle with gorgeous kitties painted on them, and a great gift basket to pamper your pet or pet lover on your list. The gift baskets include a shampoo, conditioner, spritz and bone-shaped soap! They have a great list of gift ideas for other special people in your life too, broken down to help you choose for the special man, woman or child in your life as well as that office gift you need to get for your boss or co-worker. The guide also gives tips on how to give gifts in the workplace, such as limiting your spending, setting bounds, avoiding religious overtones, select a group gift, and including spouses in the fun.
I especially liked the The Evolution of Santa story, it is interesting to watch the American history of santa claus develop from the stories of how americanizing santa was an effort that involved two American writers, a political cartoonist and the world’s most popular soft drink. Also entertaining is reading about how Santa is portraid in other cultures around the world, the Turkish Santa called Noel Baba, in Germany Ruprecht or Knecht Ruprecht travels with St. Nicholas, the children of Iceland have 13 Santas called the Yule Lads, and in England children their christmas lists into the fireplace where Father Christmas can read the smoke as it rises up the chimney. A great read.
