Having trouble trying to decide on a gift for a relative, boss or neighbor? The most pleasing presents, say the experts, are those that are both practical and attractive.

Here are a few time-honored ideas that range in price from $10 to $40.

- The leather or suede glove is a perfect gift. The best gloves are butter-soft and offer a custom-made fit without having to be custom made.

- Gloves are not a gender-specific gift. Men also appreciate this practical accessory, especially if they are stylish and cool.

- The gift of comfortable slippers is sure to bring a smile to the face of someone on your list.

- This year, women’s slipper silhouettes are following the runway trend with an innovation in contemporary ballerina styling.

- An umbrella is always an appreciated gift that shows that you care. It’s a great fit for any glove box, pocketbook or day planner.

And we can’t forget the kids. With glow-in-the-dark highlights and a cool, removable flashlight handle that projects beams of light, the new SplashFlash umbrella by totes is not only designed for protection from the elements, but for fun.
