Home furnishings include $ 1, 100 wafer bed
By Theresa Foreman
Home furnishing gifts for students? Scott Koldorn,
manager of Land and Sky, recommends the canopied water
bed-complete with all the trimmings for only $1,100. For
the most economically deprived or those who might have
trouble maneuvering the bed up the residence hall elevators,
Land. and Sky also offers graphics-pictures mounted on
wood, starting at $16. Graphics also are available at Pier I
Imports, starting at $3.
If one needs a gift for someone who already owns a
waterbed Koldron suggests fake fur spreads, selling at $40,
or a complete outfit of sheets for $33.50. . ,
If both the bed and trimmings are too expensive and the
gift recipient isn't too conventional, floor pillows are a
possibility. These are available in all sizes, shapes, colors
and coverings starting at $16 at Land and Sky and $3.99 at
Pier I.
Furniture available
Other gift ideas for the apartment dweller include the
Burl and Country Abbey lines of furniture, available at Pier
I. The Burl furniture is made of a pliable woven material,
according to manager Thomas Heath. Tables, chairs and
sofas are available in the material, which comes from the
Phillipines. Country Abbey furniture is made of two-by-fours
and slats covered with ribbed corduroy cushions. The
furniture pieces start at $29.99.
At least one store is stocking up on everybody's favorite
new toy-the citizen's band (CB) radio. Judy Susman,
office manager at Ace Furniture, said this season is the first
time the store has carried the electronic equipment. The
radios start at less than $100. Ace also carries accessories
for the CB, including antennas, power microphones and
base radios.
Pocket calculators better
For the serious-minded student, store managers suggest
desk lamps, portable typewriters and pocket calculators as
gifts. - 1
Both Harlan Friesman, manager of All Makes Office
Equipment and John Kuchta, manager of Lincoln Office
Equipment, agree that this year's pocket calculators do a
lot more for a lot less. The calculators range from $13.88
