If the person to receive the gift enjoys having a different hair style every month, a gift certificate from Hair Tech on Marine Drive will fit the bill.

For tast- minute stocking stuffers, a package of four Joico hair pro- ducts perfectly complements gift certificates. For sun worshippers, Hair Tech has a tanning bed that can produce Hawaii-like tans without the ex- pense of a plane ticket to the pop- ular holiday sun spot. Right now, the shop is offering a special 10-day membership for tanning enthusiasts. If eating is more popular than tanning, The Greek Connection on Marine Drive also has gift certifi- cates. ‘It could be anything on the menu,’’ explains the restaurant’s Rob Anderson. ‘Our specials vary daily — it's strictly Greek.” At Down N’ Under, manager Lorna Emslie suggests a pretty down-filled pillow would be an ideal present for anybody. “‘A down pillow is always wonderful."’ And what better to wear when lounging against the down pillow than a 100 per cent cotton terry bathrobe. ‘“‘The luxury is signifi- cant,”’ explains Emslie. Hand-painted Kashmir boxes from India are perfect for Christmas, says Anne Barratt from Morning Sun Gifts’. ‘And Picrot dolls — sort of like a clown doll."
