Santa baby, what will you slip under the tree? We’ll help you make your list and check it twice in the Mecca of merriment, Cherry Creek North. Don’t go dashing through the snow and contending with crowds because we have it all right here. You can even spot celeb St. Nicks Chris “Birdman” Andersen of the Nuggets and Darrell Reid of the Broncos mistletoeing and ho ho ho-ing. Catch Andersen Sunday, Dec. 13; proceeds will benefit Alliance for Choice in Education (ACE). Reid will Santa-suit up Sunday, Dec. 18; proceeds will benefit the Footz Foundation. Tickets, through Denver Magazine, are $10 and VIP packages are also available. Book now; it's expected to sell out. May you be blessed with your every wish this holiday season.

For Him

Yule-Tied treasures
No men’s accessory carries the authoritative elegance of a silk cravat. Since the 1630s the necktie has been mandatory to formalwear, and a classic foulard is the variety that makes the traditional men’s suit. Solids, stripes, patterns, paisleys and an array of colors makes the selection at Jos A. Bank at 3030 E. 2nd Ave. unbeatable, especially if you are looking for extra length. For a limited time, the Christmas plaid Royal Stewart Tartan ties are on special: buy one get one free.

For Her

Watch out for Christmas!
Don we now our gay apparel -- and icing. We want baubles. Attention shoppers: jewelry is a classic and infallible gift choice for any woman in your life from mother to fiancée. For your shopping pleasure Oster Jewelers at 251 Steele St. is hosting Italian Holiday on Thursday, Dec. 17. Featured collections include A & Furst, Bell & Ross watches, rare vintage watches and U-Boat watches. Purchase a watch before Dec. 19 and you’ll receive a jewelry gift certificate for 25% of the watch price.

For Pets

Santa Paws
Peace Dog, Denver’s newest pet boutique at 278 Fillmore St., will get a very special visit from the Big Man in Red, Santa Paws, on Saturday, Dec. 12 from noon to 4 p.m. Enjoy photos with Santa to raise money for MaxFund (Denver’s no-kill animal shelter) and celebrate the season with cider, champagne, cookies, snacks, festivities, and, of course, plenty of time to shop for your four-legged bff.

For Teens

Christmas cred
What about the tough-to-shop-for teen? At that age they are finicky, especially about what they wear, and the fact the clothes are parent-purchased cuts the cool factor drastically. So when you’re on the hunt, head straight to the spot with automatic street cred, Division West at 2632 E. Third Ave. They have like a totally awesome line up of boots and boards, not to mention tees that can take teens through the school year.

For Kids

Santa babies
Babes are the easiest to buy for—you know their size, everything that tiny is cute and they don’t complain – much. If you want your little darlings to find comfort in style, shop Oilily at 3000 E. Third Ave. Our holiday pick is baby’s first bathrobe. But whichever swaddling clothes you choose, don’t miss up to 30% off of the winter collection.

For the Family

Pass, pass, pass the Pasta, Pasta, Pasta
The most important part of the holidays is to be together with family and friends. The hardest part is making the meal around which they gather. Pasta Pasta Pasta at 278 Fillmore St. caters for groups of 8 to 100 and offers a robust takeout or dine-in menu. The neighborhood joint is known for its fried chicken and also cooks up seafood, salad, dessert, antipasto trays and all flavors of pasta, pasta, pasta.

For One and All

Book 'em, Santa
For the one-size-fits-all gift that is a crowd pleaser in any swapping circle, go directly to the Hermitage Bookshop at 290 Fillmore St. Here you will find rare and highly coveted books and gifts -- antique books, first editions, early printings, fine binding, book sets and art. Trust us, you’ll be remembered for the gift to vie for.

For the Person Who has Everything

The giving gift

Pick the face value from $5 to $500. Keep a few extras on hand for your babysitter, cleaning lady or as stocking stuffers for the entire family.
