A fabric shaver is a cute, cheap and practical 'stocking

A fabric shaver is a cute, cheap and practical 'stocking stuffer' for everyone on your gift list!

Whether you're shopping for a back-to-school gift, an 'ornament' for a birthday gift wrap, or stocking stuffers for the holidays, a fabric shaver is a winner for anyone; men, women, kids and older folks, all will use this handy little gadget.

There's nothing worse (when it pertains to your wardrobe), than slipping on that dress or sweater you got on sale and laundered once only to find the fabric dotted with 'pills', those little dust motes of accumulated fabric which wore off and clotted in the laundering. With a fabric shaver, you can make short work of eliminating this tacky look. The garment looks like new! Even good quality garments fall prey to pills every now and then, spoiling the look of the garment and making you sorry you purchased this dress, or sweater, or pair of pants.

Would you believe that there are people who don't own this estimable wardrobe gadget? If your giftee does have one, it may be worn out or just taking up space in some forgotten drawer. It's time you refreshed their memory and let them refresh their wardrobe!

This welcome little gift takes up little space, doesn't cost but a dollar or two, and brings a ton of cleanup power to their fingertips. Kids like them because they're fun to use. Fashion-conscious teens regard the fabric shaver as one of their top wardrobe enhancers. College-age kids regard this gadget as a lifesaver, always ready to primo out any garment that doesn't toe the line. Adults, both men and women, will pack this gadget in wallet or purse, to take care of garment faux-paus on the spot. Older folks appreciate the concept of making the best use of what's on hand in their wardrobe. A quick flick-over with a fabric shaver, and you're good to go.

With the back-to-school season upon us and a myriad of other gift-giving occasions looming, you'd do well to pick up a dozen or more of these magic fabric restorers. As mentioned above, you can use the fabric shaver as an ornament on a gift containing a sweater, pants or any other garment that may pill.

For a terrific assortment of little gadgets everyone can love, think practical. In addition to the fabric shaver, add a heavy-duty nail clipper, nail files, a can of waterproofing spray, leather cleaner and a small pair of sewing scissors with a selection of buttons and threads. This makes a sort of emergency 'appearance kit' which is a universally useful, and welcome gift.

And, to think, all of this started with a humble fabric shaver!
