"One thing we're seeing across the board is that people are not necessarily giving tangible products," said Audrey Guskey, a marketing professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Instead, people are buying gifts that will save their friends and family time and money, she said. Magazine subscriptions, health club memberships, movie passes or restaurant gift certificates are popular.

With stress relief and aromatherapy being the buzz in recent years, muscle massagers, magnet therapy kits, bath oils and soothing-scented candles will be found under a lot of Christmas trees. Guskey predicts shoppers will be practical, cutting back on ex- pensive items such as "People are not into Christinas shopping like they used to be," she said. "They're tired of the push. They're tired of the glitz. They're going to keep it simple." Among the popular and unusual gifts: As seen in television tisements, the singing bird clock has been flying off shelves siftce September.

For about $30, variety of North American will sing every hour on the hbur 1 Chenille throw blankets in every imaginable color and pattern are a staple gift item in many stores. Expect to pay between $50 and $75. The Sharper Image offers a line of ionic purifiers that clean and deodorize the air, clothing, a person's hair or a pet's hair. Prices for the hair wands or freestanding floor models range from $29 to $129. The Truth Quest Phone from Sharper Image has a "truth detector" that displays the stress level of callers' voices.

Owners can use the $129 phone to "test" the honesty of callers. Adults can enact the principles they read about in the book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" in the board game version. The game costs about $30. 10th Annual Christmas Open House We are inviting you to come visit our shop at 5th Walnut, Salina during our Christmas Open House Dec. 2nd thru Dec.
