Sensible planning makes for smart holiday shopping

(MS) The holiday season is among the most stressful times of year. With long lists of things to do, meals to prepare, family and friends to entertain, and gifts to buy, many people embark on the holiday season with more fear than cheer. And with so many people trying to spend less these days, preparing for the holidays has become that much more challenging. But by planning in advance and establishing a holiday shopping game plan, men and women can save money and maintain their peace of mind. Start at the bottom line. The best way to avoid overspending during the holidays is to establish a budget -- and then stick to it. Before making any holiday purchases, determine a holiday spending limit that is acceptable to you and your spouse or partner. The figure should include not only the cost of gifts, but expected expenditures for holiday entertainment and entertaining, decorations, travel, and items such as clothing and home improvements. Know as you go. Know what portion of a holiday budget is for gifts and keep a running total of expenditures as you shop. This way, you will have a sense of where you stand at any given point in the shopping season and can adjust accordingly. Be an informed shopper. There are deals galore in the run-up to the holidays and it pays to compare prices and offers before making any purchases. Check newspaper and online ads as well as retailers Web sites to determine both where and when you can get the best deal. Make a list and check it twice. Plan your purchases ahead of time to avoid impulse buying. By having a gift in mind for each person on your list, you will save time, money and headaches. Consider family gifts. If there are a number of families on your gift list, consider giving a single gift -- or gift basket -- that everyone can enjoy. A waffle iron or ice cream maker, for example, is a gift that foodie families will savor for years to come. Give the gift of your time. Some of the most cherished gifts have no price tag attached. Homemade gift certificates for things like car washing, dishwashing, babysitting, lawn mowing, and closet cleaning are always wonderful and welcome. As the giver, just make sure to make good on your promise

A quick guide to gift-giving etiquette

(MS) Deciding on and paying for holiday gifts can be a challenge under the best circumstances. But then there are the inevitable sticky situations that can leave even the most experienced giftgivers scratching their heads. In the hopes of dodging major gift gaffes this holiday season, here are eight tips for gracious giving and receiving. * Review your gift list each year to determine if any relationships have changed and require a shift in your gift-giving plan. * Dont ask non-family members on your gift list what they would like. This not only spoils the surprise, but puts pressure on recipients to gauge how much you want to spend and requires them to get you something in return. * Dont feel obligated to match what others spend. Buying gifts based on what others spend is both unnecessary and can lead to excessive expenditures. * For workplace gifts, adhere to the companys policies and make sure that gifts are given out of appreciation, not expectation. * Including a gift receipt is a good idea and avoids potentially awkward situations when an item doesnt fit or doesnt work. * Give holiday tips to those individuals whose service you count on throughout the year, such as hairstylists, babysitters, dog walkers, etc. An easy rule of thumb for holiday season tips is to double the usual tip. For household employees, give one weeks pay. * If someone surprises you with a gift, the best bet is to respond honestly. Let the giver know that you are surprised, touched and appreciative as well as a bit embarrassed that you dont have a gift in return. Then let it go and add his/her name to your gift list for the following year. * Dont arrive at holiday gatherings empty-handed. A small gift, bottle of wine or contribution to the evenings edibles is the right way to thank your hosts for their invitation. * Acknowledging gift givers is a must, but formal, written thank you cards are optional. While handwritten notes are always preferable and greatly appreciated, e-mails are increasingly acceptable -- especially for young people. * Regifting is now considered a (mostly) acceptable practice, as long as its done thoughtfully, tastefully and within the following guidelines: - The regifted item should not be homemade or made especially for you. - The item should be new, unused and in its original packaging, along with instructions. - Be sure to remove all previous wrapping and gift tags. - Dont regift to friends or family members who have a reputation for returning things they dont like. You dont want to be asked for a gift receipt. - Make certain that the original giver and the new recipient will never cross paths.

3 Tips for the perfect holiday buffet

(MS) The countdown to the holidays is on, bringing with it the challenge of how to serve a large gathering fast and easy. Fear not! Theres a simple solution. Forego the traditional, full-service, sitdown meal and opt instead for a buffet-style serving. Follow these three steps and yours will be a gathering remembered with fondness by both your guests and you. 1. Divide and Conquer: No more waiting in lines as Uncle Fred peruses the spread so slowly other guests nearly faint from hunger! Set up multiple food stations. This idea will save your sanity, says Chef Jeff Gillis, www.CelebratingHome.com. A few days before your gathering, clear most items off your kitchen countertops, table, island and dining room buffet and move contents to the laundry room or garage. Convert each area into a serving station where foods will be grouped by category. Label each area with a sticky note so that when the big day arrives, the stations can quickly assembled. At each serving station, stack plates so diners neednt traipse off to the table for one. Pre-fill glasses with ice and beverages for quick pick-up. Remember, its hard to carry more than a plate and glass so preset the table with napkins and flatware. 2. Control the Crowd: Dont think twice about placing tables in multiple rooms, adds Chef Gillis. Thats better than crowding everyone together or asking guests to balance plates on laps while sitting on your sofa. To seat people quickly (and without a fuss), use place cards. 3. Keep It Simple: Flowers in a vase are so last year. Instead, style up the buffet with an eye-catching Gratitude Tree, a sculptural bronze metal tabletop tree festooned with ribboned tree tags. Guests write what theyre thankful for on tags and after dinners done, take turns reading. This is a unique way to remind guests about the true meaning of the day and, because the tree arrives ready for display, its a real timesaver. Remember -- every minute saved adds up to extra time you can spending enjoying the day with your guests.

Its a wrap: Green alternatives for

If your holiday halls are decked with stacks of paper bags, mounds of crumpled wrapping paper, an array of random ribbons, and a gaggle of gift tags that are destined for the local landfill, its time to add a little green to your gift-wrapping regimen. Given that the average households waste jumps by more than 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Years Day and that holiday debris adds an additional one million tons per week to landfills, there is a lot that everyone can do to recycle, reuse and reduce during the holidays.

Eco-Chick.com, If every family reused just two feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet. If every American family wrapped just 3 presents in re-used materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. The 2.65 billion Christmas cards sold each year in the U.S. could fill a football field 10 stories high. If we each sent one card less, wed save 50,000 cubic yards of paper. Here are some ways to go green and even save green on gift packaging this year: Recycle: Conventional wrapping paper typically cannot be recycled since it is often coated in metal foil or is plastic laminated. But if the paper rips and doesnt glitter or shine, it can -- and should -- be placed in the recycle bin along with other paper products.

gift packaging
ping paper they accept. The good news is that recyclable wrapping paper is increasingly available from both online and brick-and-mortar retailers such as Amazon.com, Office Depot and UncommonGoods.com. Reuse: Before the opening of the gifts begins, set aside a box for collecting reusable boxes, wrapping paper, gift bags, bows, ribbons, and other decorative items. Even if wrapping paper is torn, it can be used for craft projects, packaging filler or to enclose smaller gifts the following year. Gift bags are also great candidates for reuse. If the surface of the bag is marred from removing ribbon or a bow, the spot can be covered with other decorative items or scraps of used wrapping paper. Reduce: Recycling and reusing boxes, wrapping paper, ribbon and gift bags is a big step in the right direction. But the best way to avoid waste is to reduce the use of these items in the first place. Rather than wrapping gifts in paper, consider using scarves, old tea towels, cloth napkins, or leftover fabric. If youre crafty, consider creating your own simple fabric sacks that can be easily sewn by hand or machine. If youre not, try painting an old pillowcase and tying it up with fabric ribbon, string or even shoelaces. And dont forget newspaper! The comics make colorful giftwrap any time of year, particularly for kids.
