(ARA) - Wish you had your own personal shopper this holiday season? Take the guess work out of gift giving with suggestions from Hillary Mendelsohn, noted shopping authority and author of “The Purple Book.”

“The holidays can put a lot of pressure on people to find the perfect gift,” says Mendelsohn, who is working with Office Depot to help simplify holiday shopping. “Gift giving doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, a thoughtful token can go a long way in spreading holiday cheer, particularly if it’s a themed gift that fits the recipients’ personality or interests.”

Consider these categorized shopping suggestions, all of which can be found at Office Depot:

* The Family Historian: Almost every family has an amateur photographer who loves to record events and get-togethers. The Canon Digital Rebel SLR XT and the Sony DCR-DVD108 DVD Handycam are two great gift options. Then help them bring these images to life with the HP Photosmart A826 Compact Photo Printer or the11-inch Ativa Digital Photo Frame, one of the largest digital photo frames available today.

* The Entertainment Buff: Do you have a friend or family member whose home DVD library is larger than the local video store? Why not give them the freedom to bring their passion on the road with the Memorex 10.2-inch Portable Widescreen DVD Player. Or for those couch potatoes, try a high-performance TV in a slim design like the Sharp 37-inch LCD HDTV.

* The Professional: Busy business professionals are always looking for ways to get the most out of the day, so why not give them the tools they need to maximize their time. Ensure they get to that important meeting safe and on time with the Navigon 5100 Navigation System, which has 3-D maps of both the United States and Canada along with over 5 million points of interest, including Zagat reviews and recommendations. And make sure they arrive in style with the Foray line of business cases which are the perfect blend of organization and fashion.

* The Gadget Guru: Looking for the latest technology gadget this holiday season? The dual speaker MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Headphones allow users to listen to iPods wirelessly via the included iPod adapter, or through a Bluetooth capable mobile phone. For the business professional more interested in staying in touch with the office than listening to their tunes, the Ativa line of Bluetooth Headsets from Office Depot provide premium sound and come with two chargers for the home and car.
