(For those who'd rather get out, see last week's post.)

For some of the people on your gift list, home is where the heart is! They like to sit down with a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or just some good quality chocolate and contemplate things - like how every life writes a poem or how children are never as innocent as they look or how Holst was right about Pluto all along.

They'd love gifts that help them nestle all snug in their homes, and...

• Don comfy apparel - sweatshirts (+dark, +kids), tracksuits, t-shirts (+baby/toddler, +juniors, +kids, +maternity, +plus, +womens)

Shipping tip: send it direct to save

Save on shipping costs by shipping directly from Bold Avenue to out-of-town family and friends. Here's how:

1. Find the perfect gifts on Bold Avenue.
   
2. Once all the gifts for a particular household (i.e. Uncle Frank and Aunt Mabel's family) are in your shopping cart, click "proceed to checkout."
3. Fill out the Billing Address with YOUR information.
4. Under Shipping Address, click "Ship to a different address" and blanks will appear for you to fill out the recipient's information.
   
5. Check "This is a gift order," so recipients will NOT see any of the money stuff.
6. If you'd like, enter a message for your recipient. This will be printed on a packing slip.

Repeat for each household you'd like to send a box of goodies to.

Saving tip: If Aunt Maude will be at Frank and Mabel's for Christmas (or she lives just down the street), you'll save on shipping by including her gift with everyone else's instead of shipping it separately.

Top gifts for families

Today is our first Top Gifts Tuesday! We'll be highlighting unique Christmas gift ideas the next few weeks, so make sure you stop back by - or subscribe to our feed.











Today's theme: Family

• Showcase personalities: choose a different mug that fits each member of the family's personality (large mugs for parents). Also works with teddy bears, buttons (large or mini), hats, ornaments or t-shirts (mens, womens, kids, baby).
• Welcoming a new addition? Think maternity shirts (+black), diaper bags, onesies, bibs.
• For a four-legged family member: dog shirts, pet bowls (+small).
• Help a family deck the halls for Christmas or year-round with ornaments, yard signs, clocks and decorative pillows.
