Gifts for your gal
range from roses
to latest records
Analysis by Bill Allen
At McKenzie Pontiac in Omaha a 1983 full-equipped
Trans Am lists for $16,000 for $17,000.
If that's a little more than you wanted to spend on
your girlfriend this Christmas, perhaps you should con
sider shopping downtown Lincoln.
If the new saying, "the quickest way to a woman's
heart is through her feet," is true, then perhaps a pair
of shoes would better suit your wallet.
At Barker's Shoes at 1211 O St., a pair of shoes can
range from as low as $25 for some house brands to $40
for some of the popular brand names like Dexter. The
store also offers handbags for under $20.
A random survey of several UNL women showed that
the most practical gift and popular gift a woman can
receive is clothes. Sweaters seem to be a popular item,
according to sales clerks in two Lincoln stores.
At The Closet, in the Gunny building, 245 North 13th
St., sweaters range from $25 to $30. If you're looking
for something more, the store also sells leather coats
ranging from $79 to $96.
At Plum Creek clothing in the Centrum Plaza, 11110
St., a sales clerk told me sweaters were a nice item for
men to buy women because it's easier to get the correct
fit.
So unless your girlfriend's name is Cinderella and you
are Prince Charming perhaps a sweater would be better
than the shoes.
Sweaters at Plum Creek range from $20 to $30.
The Bath Fair in the Centrum offers a variety of gift
sets, ranging from $5 to $24, depending on size. The
sets contain decorative bath clothes, scented bath per
fumes and soaps.
If the girl on your Christmas list is afraid of the dark
the Bath Fair also offers decorative night lights from $1 1
to $23.
If these prices are still a little out of your range, or
even in another state, or if you've only known the girl
a short time, like since last night, maybe you should head
for a record store.
At the Record Shop, also in the Centrum, one top-10
LP costs $7.99.
If you've known the girl an even shorter time or just
don't believe in spending large amounts of money on any
one but yourself, a Christmas card might be your best
bet. Cards range from a low, low of 40 cents to a highs
of $3.25.
For the hopeless romantic, there is always the dozen
red roses. Prices at downtown stores range from $16
to $30.
The thing about roses is they only last a few days.
Which is probably longer than most relationships, but
that's anotherjstory.
If you are looking for something more lasting several
jewelry stores, including Brodkey's Jewelers in the Cen
trum, and Sartor Hamann Jewelry at 1150 O St., offer
diamonds, which last forever, like you account with them
will.
These stores also offer several lower priced elegant
gifts, like gold-plated bracelets and key chains ranging
from $9.95 to $24.
Just remember, guys, it's the thought that counts, but
the presents that cost. So if you want to keep her through
next semester, you better leave the thinking to Aristotle,
and buy that sweater.
