A local department store
is livening up Christmas by
taking a leaf out of the book
of the world’s most famous
luxury emporium, Neimann
Marcus of Dallas, Texas.

Neimanno Marcus
specializes in gifts for the
man and woman who have
everything - attractive little
trinkets like “His” and “Her”
gold-plated helicopters at
$500,900 the pair.

Now, Eaton’s in Van-
couver has come up with its
own version of “ultimate
gifts” for Christmas shoppers
who sull have some loose
change ratthng round in
their purses.

Each is descnbed as “an

beyond just buying a
