experts.— We should all choose our own Christmas presents this year and do both our loved ones and the world a favour, say consumer experts. How many times do we open a • parcel from a friend or relation, to find our heart sinking at its contents? And while our mouth . says, 'Oh, how lovely...', we actu­ ally plan to consign the unwant­


ed gift to a dark and dusty cup- ■ board, adding to piles of waste all over the globe. Consumer experts, and authors of 'a new shopping guide, .Maggie


, Davis and Charlotte Williamson have the solution - write your - own letter to Santa. "Tell people exactly what you would like," suggests Maggie. "I really don't think there is a prob­ lem with that these days and it certainly makes sense. After all,


■ wedding lists are quite acceptable and it avoids unwanted gifts and saves on waste.. "You can avoid that horrible situ­ ation in January where you are .


returning unwanted gifts, giving them to charity shops or just hid­ ing them away in a 'guilt cup- - board' only to be brought out when the giver comes to visit - if you remember.


:


"We are very against the con- ' sumer culture of just buying lots : of things we don't need for the sake of spending. Although our book is called 101 Things To Buy Before You Die, we don't mean you should try to acquire every-,..


' thing. What we do say is select ; quality items. . "I would rather spend on one


j item that will last for years than • 10 that will fall apart in a year." They suggest searching for the ' very best, both for yourself and your loved ones, and buying pres-


g i p l i tn n i l


: ents that will both be used and appreciated. Even looking at the Christmas : ‘ gift staples of chocolate, smellies • and underwear (for women) or - ' :


i - v A , M B m


: socks, underwear and wallets (for men) there is the right way and the wrong way. ■ . ■ "People do appreciate a bit of ‘ luxury and going to the right


places - or sending your partner ^ to,them - will save both of you


‘ disappointment on Christmas' Day. Women's lingerie is always a tricky one but quality stores will


' provide a quality service and steer a nervous male away from -


r making a bad purchase." : . ;' ' -And although some of their sug- '


•< gested luxury items will break {the bank, diamond jewellery ■ from Wint And Kidd is listed in ■


i f i m


; their book as 'price on applica-: • tion' r if you need to ask, you ’ ’ can't afford it - luxury French ’ -


• soap from Savon de Marseille, 'v retails at an affordable £3; • ■ As well as writing your own qual-' ity Christmas wish-list, Maggie ■ suggests employing.the same


'strategy.for your friends and' family this year.


' '


’: "If you are giving a gift it's nice '. ’ to get something that's going to '


' last, or treat someone to a luxury v small item that they might not ‘


.justify buying for themselves - ■ dike some gorgeous soap or gour-- 'met olive oil.' If you don't spend ;' * :” ‘much'on yourself .as a rule; it's'fe » : nice to be spoilt and it doesn't have to cost'the'eaflh'."' ' '
