Holiday Shopping: Gift This, Not That

Gifting slippers is an undeniably thoughtful gesture. It says: you deserve to take a load off and luxuriate in some "me time," and so do your worn-out, shopped-out feet. But rather than presenting your beloved bud with house-bound footwear, give them a stylish set that can go from the den to the street—say, a pair of Del Toro velvet loafers emblazoned with cheeky emoticons.
