GREAT LAKES, GREAT GIFTS

GUIDEIL+06

What lazy boy or girl wouldn't appreciate
their own put-those-feet-up perch? La-Z-
Boy, a Michigan-based company (Monroe,
to be exact), has been sweeping the world
off its feet for more than 75 years. Back when
the company was founded, a contest was held
to choose the company's name — other options were
Sit-N--Snooze or Slack-Back — but La-Z-Boy was the clear winner. Since then,
they've introduced chairs that do everything from rock, swivel, glide, lift, even give
the occupant a massage. Other innovations include magazine
storage, remote controls, built-in phones, computer modem
hookups and more. The company continues to be
the world's largest producer of reclining chairs, with
sales of more than $2 billion. The model above
starts at $699. Visit your local furniture showroom or

DECEMBER 2006 JN GIFT GUIDE

The Thinker (Le Penseur), one of Au-
guste Rodin's best-known works, is also
one of the DIA's signature pieces. The
contemplative sculpture occupies a seat
of honor outside the front of the Wood-
ward Avenue museum. This reproduction
($125) is the perfect gift for the deep thinker
on your list and supports one of the state's top
cultural institutions. The DIA gift shop also has a
wide variety of jewelry, posters, ties and more, much
of it drawn from its world-famous collection. Visit the museum downtown or the
Web site at www.dia.org .
