DO buy slippers as a gift!
I probably sell the largest quantity of slippers in late
January/February - almost all being purchased by the person planning to
wear them. My theory is that many ladies hold off, thinking they may
get some new slippers for the holidays. When that doesnt happen, they
buy them for them self. Perhaps "a new pair of slippers" seems like
a "boring" gift - but - the truth is, they are a small thing that add
so much comfort (physically and emotionally) to our day that they will
become THE gift that she continues to use - long after that "soap on a
rope" finds its way to the back of the linen closet.
I learned that slippers are a great gift - or personal purchase - for
those who are losing weight!!!! It can be quite a chilly world after
a person sheds 100 pounds. If you know someone scheduled for gastric
bypass surgery, warm cozy slippers or slipper socks will be the PERFECT
gift. It will show your belief in them - that they will reach their
goal. And, they will surely come in handy... in ANY season.
