Top 10 Sweaters for Gift-Giving

By Cynthia Nellis, About.com

Sweaters top most holiday gift lists; make sure your sweater purchase includes some of the most popular styles and colors. When wrapping your sweater gift, fold it neatly and wrap it in a big enough box: sweater knits can get wrinkled otherwise.
