Apartment dwellers put up with a lot—noisy neighbors, cramped quarters, and rogue automobiles in their parking spots. Fortunately, there's a lot we can do to make their lives better. Here are a few ideas. |

gift ideas (excerpted from Present Perfect) A closet organizing system will enable the apartment dweller to use every square inch of closet space efficiently. Pay for the services of a professional decorator or space planner to arrange and enhance the quarters of the apartment dweller. A fresh coat of paint can breathe new life into the dreariest apartment. Give a certificate for the paint and painting supplies (brushes, rollers, drop cloths), and set a date to help paint. For those in tight quarters, an occasional change of scenery can do wonders. Give a gift certificate for a night at a bed-and-breakfast. Give a microwave cart or utility cart for added counter and storage space in the kitchen. To the studio apartment dweller, give a sleep sofa or Murphy bed (a bed that folds into a cabinet that is anchored to a wall). For trips to the market, give a personal grocery-bag carrier. Hammacher Schemer's eight shopping-bag carrier is easy to navigate through apartment building parking lots and elevators. Phone: 800/543-3366. Internet: www.hammacher.com. Windowsill gardens of colorful flowers or fragrant herbs make nice additions to just about any apartment. Planter boxes and pots for patio gardening also make nice gifts. Styles to fit all decors are available through home and garden centers and catalogs.
