Teen gifts: Ideas for hard-to-buy-for big kids hey are finicky and fickle, and might be updating their wish lists as often as their Instagram accounts. Do you have any idea what to buy the teenagers on your holiday shopping list this year?
Think small leather goods, jewelry and watches.

brands feature floral, ethnic or animal prints. “When they all throw their cellphones down on the table, itʼs who has the coolest case,” Andrews says. He also suggests other tech accessories: earbuds, alone or built into earmuffs or headbands, or headphones offered with interchangeable “cans” for different looks. “Headphones are a crazy thing now, and theyʼre not just about the sound. Theyʼre also about the look and the accessory-like quality of them,” Andrews says. If youʼre looking for a wearable gift, consider the Converse sneaker, available in various colors and in styles from Missoni, the knitwear company known for zigzag patterns. For boys, consider a hat — a slouchy beanie or an oldschool ski hat emblazoned with a team logo and topped off with a pom-pom. As for activewear, thereʼs the jogger pant for boys and girls. The relaxed fit makes it easier for gift-givers to get the size right. Same goes for a quilted vest or trendy backpack, Andrews says. At Gifts.com, editorial curator Gwen Paja recommends a refurbished, vintage Polaroid instant camera as a nostalgic counterpoint to the latest technology. She also suggests necklaces in the shape of a state, and “experience” gifts, like flying in a jet pack. Lastly, thereʼs the gift they can eat: food or candy that can be ordered online or arranged in a basket. “Teenagers are the hungriest group of people,” Avery says. “You canʼt go wrong.” Lisa Flam can be reached on Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/lisaflam.

Holiday cards: To share or not to share ANNE WALLACE ALLEN Associated Press
F
Refreshing honesty or too much information? The tell-all holiday card or letter has been around for a few years now, said Diane Gottsman, a Texas-based etiquette expert. She believes that a holiday card is supposed to be a warm greeting; if you want to update people on the harsh realities of your life, have that conversation in person. “The holiday card should warm hearts, with some small note,” said Gottsman. “Droning on about your divorce and how your ex-husband did you wrong? The card is not the venue for this kind of news.” LisaMarie Luccioni, a professor of communications at the University of Cincinnati, said people have grown skeptical, however, of the crafted, idealized versions of life they see on Facebook. The holiday card can serve as a reality check, she said. “I actually appreciate the candor and honesty of people in these types of cards,” said Luccioni. “Iʼm a professor of 25 years and I appreciate when a student gives me honesty.”
more personal level than an e-card, said Margaret Page, an etiquette coach in Vancouver, British Columbia. She thinks that senders of holiday cards might say too much because theyʼre not connecting closely enough the rest of the year. “Social media is not really being connected,” Page said. “People are desperate to make real connections, and are using Christmas cards, birthday cards, to share information with others that they wouldnʼt have a decade ago . or even five years ago.”

A lawyer in Boise, Idaho, who asked not to be named, decided to share the reasons behind her divorce in a Christmas letter two years ago. “I just thought, you know, Iʼm going to be honest with our friends and family, and just put it out there,” she said. “I also didnʼt want to repeat the story 100 times, and thatʼs kind of where I was at.” She was uncomfortable putting information on social media that could be seen by people outside her circle of friends.
The format of a letter can serve as a signal that big news might be coming. But a card should stay light, said Gottsman, who thinks heavy use of social media reinforces the idea that Despite the availability of electronic greeting cards, many people still send itʼs OK to deliver all kinds of news — paper holiday cards, sometimes includ- good, bad, personal, gossipy — in a ing page-long “newsletters” summariz- holiday greeting. ing the year.

Gift Guide: Lots of tablet choices, oh my! ANICK JESDANUN AP Technology Writer
P
eople tend to hold onto tablets longer than smartphones, so take time to weigh your options. A major consideration is what phone you or your gift recipient already has. Although itʼs possible for Android owners to have Appleʼs iPads, for instance, there are advantages to sticking within the same system. You often can buy apps just once and share them across both devices, and you donʼt need to learn two different systems. Here are some buying tips organized by system. Prices listed are for base models. You can typically spend more for additional storage or LTE cellular connectivity.
APPLEʼS iOS The iPad remains top of the line among tablets. The selection of apps designed specifically for it is unmatched. Those who already have iPhones will appreciate the ability to start email and other tasks on one device and finish on the other. You can even make phone calls from iPads, if you have an iPhone on the same Wi-Fi network. The downside is the $499 price tag for the latest full-size model, the iPad Air 2. Many Android tablets are cheaper. You do get a light and skinny device for the price, with a camera that matches the iPhoneʼs 8 megapixels (though the iPad still lacks a flash). The new Air also has a fingerprint sensor to bypass security passcodes and to authorize online purchases using Apple Pay. It wonʼt work with in-store payments, though.

From vintage to city chic: Holiday decor trends KIM COOK Associated Press

Pottery Barnʼs chinchilla, fox or bear faux-fur tree skirts add a touch of luxe. Dress the tree with midcentury-style copper and brass trims for a cool and current vibe.
or those who love to decorate, thereʼs no time like the holidays for adding fun, festive touches to our living spaces. This year, thereʼs something for many tastes and styles.
A look at the trends youʼll see at stores:
CAMP CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS PAST The 1920s inspire a lot of holiday d√©cor, with West Elm offering glittery Art Deco letter ornaments and star garlands, as well as Deco-patterned, mercury-glass hurricanes in silver and midnight blue. Elegant, gold, blownglass animals fit the vibe. At Pier 1, youʼll find beaded tree swags, as well as ornaments encrusted with sequins or glass mosaics. Beaded metallic pillars, champagne glasses and bottles, and chevron-patterned pendants add Jazz Age style.
Clusters of string lights look gorgeous under glass cloches; Restoration Hardware offers both in various sizes. And snow globes that send up a flurry of up-lit flakes with the push of a button are a twist on the traditional. Also at the retailer: spare, birchwrapped branches wrapped in warm LEDs, in various sizes for tabletop or entryway floor.
The rustic, cabin-y look that took off last year has held strong. Woodland creatures populate the ornament collections at Land of Nod, while, in a twist, hedgehogs and raccoons are photoprinted on little stuffed ornaments at Target. At West Elm, Boston designer Mimi Kirchnerʼs felt foxes, deer, raccoons and bears sport jaunty scarves and plaid coats.
Ikeaʼs Vinter collection features CITY SPARKLE Swedish patterns on cushion covers “This year Iʼm seeing deep, rich hues,” and guest towels. At Pottery Barn, an advent calendar with farmhouse charm says designer Taniya Nayak. “Think sapphire, deep emerald and sexy vio- is created out of small, galvanized let.

Purchases from the collection support shelters nationwide through the Give a Little Hope organization.
white that would work for get-togethers straight into New Yearʼs Eve. For Hanukah, Jonathan Adler offers a blue, Lucite cube menorah, as well as an array of mod, ceramic-animal menorahs. At Williams-Sonoma, a collection of porcelain plates and serveware in cream with a graphic print of ancient temple menorahs would add style to a holiday buffet. Sara Peterson, editor-in-chief of HGTV Magazine, likes colorful d√©cor beyond the traditional red and green. “Felt pom-pom garlands are always a party hit, and not just for Christmas trees,” she says. “String them on stair railings and around mirrors, and drape them from your curtain rods.” Think beyond the living room, Peterson says. “Add a little decorating twist here and there throughout your house,” she says. “Itʼs fun to do something beyond just setting the table. In guest bathrooms, use a whiteboard marker to write a fun holiday message on the mirror, and put down a holiday-themed bath mat. In the kitchen, plant mini cypress trees in colorful glazed pots, and swap out regular dish towels for festive tea towels.”
