What kind of knives are we talking? Butter knives - no, but something cool from like AG Russell - absolutely. The only shoes I think are okay to give (unless someone requests a certain kind) are TOMS shoes or just regular ol' house slippers.

I'd go with shoes.

i got a hugh Bowie knife when i was 10.i still have today.it's one the FEW things from my childhood i cherish.

If the receipient is underage, a parent/guardian approval may be in order. I ot a knife for Christmas once. I asked what is was, and the giver told me that it's a knife. I proceeded to pick a large blade from my back belt and during presentation said "That's not a knife, THIS is a knife."

Sure, either one can be a great gift. Shoes are always an actually useful gift, and knives can be great, just make sure you're giving it to a responsible person. They will remain useful and memorable much longer than a video game or toy etc.

Shoes to those who need them. It's going to get really cold (if it hasn't already where you live) and it wouldn't be very comfortable walking out there.

Knives can come in quite handy at times. Never dismiss the utility of an edged weapon.

I can think of 2 people who would like knives for Christmas. Only one of them is mentally equipped to recieve such a gift, and thats iffy at best. But on a lighter note I also know someone who would love a pair of custom, totally harmless, shoes. My cousin Regina wears a womens size 12(no, really, she does, and yes she was born a female!) A pair of size 12 peep toe shoes in black under the tree would be perfect for her!
