(NAPSI)-A shrinking holiday budget doesn't have to mean a smaller holiday shopping list. Instead, gift-giving gurus say to focus on practical presents--high-quality gifts that can be paired with other items for added value. Considering that 82 percent of respondents in a recent survey said they planned to trim their holiday budget and spend less on gifts, it may be a holiday hint that could pay off. Here's a look at four practical gift pairings that could help people stretch their gift-giving dollar even further. They range from clothing to gifts for the home to holiday decor. Plus, you can find each of them at landsend.com, meaning you can save time and money while you shop. • Fleece Jackets--Give the gift of warmth. A lightweight fleece jacket is a great choice. It works well as a base layer or a sweater substitute. The latest trend in fleece is texture, from chunky piling to soft plush fabrics. For a great complement to the jacket, add a down vest or a pair of fleece gloves. This season, fleece comes in a plenitude of neutral and bright colors and can be coordinated with a down vest in tonal or pop colors to add a little fun. • Throws--Give the gift of comfort. Wrapping up in a throw with a good book by the fireplace is a wonderful way to enjoy the season. Plus, throws are a great gift and one size fits all. Lands' End's HeatComfort Throw features 11 heat settings for adjustable warmth and can help keep the thermostat down. Slippers are a great addition to a "curl-up" gift and don't forget to tuck in a tin of cocoa. • Towel Sets--Give the gift of relaxation. Thick, plush towels can make people feel as good as they did on their last visit to the spa. For the holidays, consider adding a unique touch by including a "Ho Ho Ho" or "Joy" monogram. You can find towel sets to complement every bathroom style. A holiday scented candle and soothing bubble bath are a festive addition to the in-home spa gift go-together. • Fresh Wreaths--Give the gift of scent. Fresh wreaths make great gifts for co-workers or for sending to faraway friends. In fact, seven out of 10 people surveyed said they hang a wreath at the holidays. Don't forget to send a wreath holder to make the gift easier to hang. For more great go-together gift ideas, visit www.landsend.com.
