While the holiday season is a time of joy, unfortunately, it can also be a
time of stress. Searching for the perfect gift for a long list of family, friends
and co-workers is enough to send even the most seasoned of shoppers into
a retail spin.
This year the Alter Communications editors at STYLE, PaperDoll and
Chesapeake Life have embarked on our first collaborative effort, the sole
purpose being the alleviation of pre-holiday shopping angst. Pooling our
fashion and design savvy, we’ve compiled a holiday gift wish list of all the
objects that make our hearts go aflutter. Wish List is sure to give you loads
of fantastic gift ideas and inspirations for your holiday shopping and, you
might even find something to put on your own holiday wish list!
Enjoy the season, happy shopping!

for those who would rather
drive perfection than pursue it.
with 160 designer & brand-name stores
COACH Factory
Lucky Brand Jeans+
Relentless pursuits are all well and good, but will those
chasers of perfection ever get on with really achieving it?
No matter. It just so happens Volvo makes an automobile
that goes beyond giving perfection the old college try: the
S80 Luxury Sedan. As one would expect
from the perfect car, the S80 performs,
well, perfectly. The powerful ultra-low
emission engine growls sympathetically
at other less-than-perfect pursuers. And
all while pampering up to four guests in
flawless luxury appointments that won the
S80 “Interior of the Year” honors from Ward’s AutoWorld.*
You can look that up if you’d like. One such appointment:
standard leather throughout. “What’s so different about
that?” you ask. And we’re glad you did, because we have
the perfect answer. Not only are the front seats leather,
they’re also ventilated, so you can stay perfectly cool and
dry in even the most sweltry weather. And in the coldest
of winters (which, as a Swedish car company, we know
a little something about), that same comfortable system
applies to the seat heaters – a perfect touch that falls just
shy of overindulgence. How Scandinavian of us. Yet the
S80 is still, after all, a Volvo. It therefore bears mentioning
(and goes almost without saying) that it would offer the
perfect suite of safety technology: Dynamic Stability and
Traction Control comes standard, detecting and preventing
skids. An available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
acts as a second pair of eyes before a lane change. And the
available world’s first Collision Avoidance
Package raises the science of prevention
technology to an art form. But you’ll have
to come to one of our showrooms to ask us
about that one. After all, we’ve got to leave
something for our fi ne sales associates.
But of course, none of the aforementioned
engineering wonders can exist in a vacuum. In truth, it’s the
whole of the S80 that sets it apart from the luxury flock.
The way everything is so thoughtfully put together, piece
by intelligent piece. Safety innovation by safety innovation.
A perfect combination that brings harmony to you, your
passengers and the road you’re sharing together. Which,
in our opinion, is the whole point of the Volvo S80. And as
opinions go, that’s as humble as being perfect will allow.
