Graduation season is over, but families with col-lege-bound teens know the gift-giving season is still in full swing. Whether you’re looking for a gift that will ease the transition for a new college fresh-man or something to mile-stone the beginning of a senior’s fi nal year, choos-ing a back-to-school gift can be every bit as impor-tant as selecting a gradu-ation gift.a back-to-school gift is

also your opportunity to demonstrate your uber-coolness, and pick some-thing that will entertain, delight and empower your college kid. From items that will dress up any dorm, such as a remov-able wallpaper mural, to ones that will help them stay healthy, like an ergo-nomic backpack, back-to-school gifts need to be smart and exciting.Here are four gifts ideas

that are sure to be both useful and enjoyable for college kids heading back to school this fall:1. Dorm-dazzling de-

cor - despite fairly recent efforts by some schools to make dorms more ap-pealing, dorm rooms are still hardly a decorator’s dream canvas. Bright, cheerful bedding can help

add personality and com-fort, but the walls are the biggest workable space for decorating, and often they start out bland. paint-ing is out of the question, so rock band posters have long been a staple of col-lege dorm decor. For wall decor that really rocks, however, consider giving the college student in your life a creative teen mural from Murals Your Way that clings to virtually any fl at surface using space-age technology and no ad-hesives of any kind. You can choose from a wide range of sizes and scenes, from a full wall cityscape to a window-sized sports theme. You can even cus-tomize a mural so your college student can deco-rate her dorm with an im-age of friends, family or a favorite memory from high school. Log on to www.muralsyourway.com/ to learn more and view avail-able images.2. Super storage -

Sure, a dresser or bureau will probably come with the dorm room, and if he’s lucky he may even have a wallet-sized closet. But college kids have a lot of stuff to store throughout the school year. creative storage solutions that are functional and fun can be

a great gift. Whether it’s a pocket sleeve that fi ts over the back of a standard desk chair to hold those items she needs at her fi ngertips, or an over-the-door shoe rack to keep all his athletic shoes off the fl oor, your storage gift can help a college kid stay or-ganized. if the dorm room is big enough, consider storage that can do dou-ble-duty as extra seating, such as a foot locker. For smaller rooms, look for so-lutions that get stuff up off the fl oor, like cork boards for assignments and jew-elry.3. Safer technology

solutions - it’s probably safe to say there’s no such thing as a totally tech-free college kid anymore. Laptops, tablets, smart-phones and desktop pcs are all important tools for both school work and fun. Your college student prob-ably already has his favor-ite mobile device in hand, but you can help him pro-tect it with safety solutions designed specifi cally for use in college. check the manufacturer’s recom-mendations for your stu-dent’s favorite device, and give her hardware spe-cifi cally designed to deter theft, such as an alarm, security plate or cable

lock. Ensure that even if his laptop does get lost or stolen, he won’t lose all his data by giving him a year’s subscription to an online backup service.4. Better backpack-

ing - a backpack is as much a staple of college life as heavy books and lots of studying. overload-

ed backpacks, however, can cause back pain. the american academy of orthopedic Surgeons recommends limiting the heft of backpack contents to no more than 10 to 15 percent of the carrier’s body weight, but most college kids carry much more than that. Look for a

backpack that’s designed to redistribute the weight of contents to minimize strain on the wearer’s back and shoulders. For-tunately, it’s easy to fi nd plenty of good-looking, back-friendly backpack options, both in stores and online.

Finding the perfect gift for mom and dad or grandma and grandpa of-ten seems impossible. if they’re like a lot of seniors, they’re fairly well settled and don’t have long wish lists. plus, it seems that many of the hottest gift ideas are tech devices, certainly not something that would be of interest, right? think again.Seniors aren’t as wary

of technology as some might think. in april 2012, the pew internet and american Life project re-ported that more than half of the 65 and over popu-lation were online and us-ing email. the number is growing as seniors see the advantages of tech-nology, from convenience to safety benefi ts. and that’s good news for kids and grandkids in des-perate need of great gift ideas.Help the seniors in your

life manage more from the comfort of their home. a new laptop or tablet can be a valuable tool for communicating with loved ones, managing fi -nances and even taking care of some shopping. More than the gift itself, they’ll appreciate the time you take to show them the ropes with a video chat program or online bill pay services, not to mention getting them connected with family and friends on social media.if you’re in the market

for a portable computer,

there are numerous op-tions. an all-purpose laptop typically offers a larger screen, which can be helpful if eyesight is an issue. at 4.5 to 8 pounds, they are ideal for the home, but can be carried to the corner coffee shop without much hassle. the acer aspire offers a 15.6-inch screen, great for viewing videos and images, and weighs less than 6 pounds.netbooks are smaller

and more lightweight, good for some simple Web browsing and email, but often not robust enough to handle stream-ing video or multiple ap-plications running simul-taneously. asus offers some high quality op-tions, which are generally more budget-friendly than a laptop.tablets have taken the

market by storm, and new devices are being designed with seniors in mind. the claris com-panion blends in with a home’s decor, featuring a bamboo bezel, a stand and speakers built into the front. the 10-inch screen has big buttons, large text and a simple user interface, and it ac-commodates alerts set up by the senior or family to keep abreast of medi-cation or other critical tasks.provide seniors - and

yourself - with the gift of a cellphone and peace of mind. Even if they don’t

thanksgiving comes late this year, which means a shorter-than-usual holiday shopping season. if you’re not the type to buy gifts throughout the year, get-ting an early start on holiday shopping can help ensure you have enough time to fi nd gifts for everyone on your list - and perhaps, most importantly, save money.Here are three things to do

now to save money and time this holiday season:Create a list (and bud-

get) for everyone on your listGreet the holiday season

with cheer by keeping an organized list of names of everyone you need to shop for and an estimated bud-get for each. From family and friends to hair stylists and teachers, more names will likely appear on your list than you originally planned. Holiday shopping can be overwhelming, but if you ap-proach it with an organized plan, you’re likely to avoid overspending and can bet-ter stick to your budget. Gift cards are a great option this year, since they are the top gift people want to give and receive according to a re-cent shopping survey from discover.Savvy shopping tip: Look

into your credit card rewards programs to see if you can cash in your accumulated rewards for gift cards, some of which are offered at a discount. redeeming re-wards for store gift cards is one of the easiest and most valuable ways to save cash, which means you won’t need to reach as deep into your pockets this season.Do your research on

sales and promotionsFrom gifts to groceries,

holiday shopping includes a wide range of items, so it’s important to try to fi nd the best prices on every-thing. according to the sur-vey, americans are most infl uenced by sales and promotions when it comes to their holiday spending plans. in fact, 70 percent of consumers are planning to take advantage of Black Friday and cyber Monday deals. Whether you’re brave enough to face the crowds on Black Friday or prefer the convenience of cyber Monday, shopping these big sales is a great way to stick to your budget and make a large dent in your holiday shopping list.doing your homework

before making holiday pur-chases can also help you save even more. price moni-toring sites, like priceGrab-

ber, can compare and con-trast prices for more than 1 million items, including electronics, appliances and clothing, and can be ac-cessed right from your mo-bile device. if you’re shop-ping online, your credit card may offer extra rewards on online purchases this sea-son that’ll help you save money on holiday gifts.Savvy shopping tip: Mark

your calendars with the dates of big sales and keep coupons in your wal-let so you can use them at a moment’s notice. if you’re shopping online, do a quick search for coupon codes that provide extra discounts, as well as free shipping or gift wrap.Use credit card benefi ts

and rewards to save ex-tra cashWhether you prefer to

shop in-store or online, credit cards can enhance your savings and provide added value to your shop-ping. Many credit card companies provide rebates, rewards and discounts on holiday essentials - at no added cost. once the hustle and bustle of the season is over, you might fi nd an item you want to return, but what happens if your purchase is no longer eligible? You won’t have to write it off as a loss if the purchase was made with a credit card that offers a return guarantee. discover cardmembers can return a qualifying item purchased with a discover card within 90 days for a full refund up to $500 when the store will not accept it. these com-plimentary benefi ts can keep you feeling merry this holiday season. plus, card-members can spread more cheer to their wallets by shopping online this season. now through december, they can sign up to earn a 5 percent cashback Bonus - up to a cool $75 - simply by shopping online with a discover card for things like apparel, electronics, toys, gifts and more.Savvy shopping tip: Use

a credit card that provides added security and pur-chase protection including warranties and return guar-antees that will help you save in the long run.taking a little extra time to

shop smart and plan ahead will help you save and stay organized while shopping for holiday gifts and essen-tials. You may be surprised by how many resources are available to help stretch your budget further this holiday season.

Keep your wallet full and spirits bright with these savvy spending tips

3holiday shopping strategies

text or surf the internet, your loved ones can benefi t from having a convenient way to call for help in an emergen-cy. consumer cellular car-ries senior-friendly phones, like the doro phoneEasy 618, with large and back-lit buttons and hearing aid compatibility. no contract phone service with fl exible plans means paying only as much as they use the phone.of course, some seniors

may be ready for smart-phone features at their fi n-

gertips, including power-ful cameras for capturing memories of the grandchil-dren. as with other prod-ucts, consider a device with a larger screen size to avoid eye strain. also, keep the in-terface simple. apple prod-ucts tend to be fairly intui-tive, so an iphone may be a contender. the LG Escape from consumer cellular is another option, particularly if you want to give a phone loaded with advanced fea-tures.

When creating a holiday shopping list for gifts for friends and family, there is always at least one impos-sible-to-shop-for person on that list. Maybe they’re the type of person who doesn’t need anything, or are not involved in hob-bies that cater easily to gift ideas. Whatever the rea-son, each holiday season you struggle to fi nd the perfect gift to celebrate the season.“Sometimes coming up

with gift ideas for friends and family is a challenge,” says anna post, great-great granddaughter of Emily post and co-author of Emily post’s Etiquette, 18th Edition. “i recom-mend taking a step back and looking at the recipi-ent’s taste, personality, interests, daily habits and hobbies for inspiration. and remember, some-times practical gifts that recipients will use on an everyday basis are the best gifts for those who are diffi cult to shop for.”

to generate ideas, check out the offerings at your local Staples retail store where you can fi nd per-fect gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list - including those that are hard to shop for. consider the following gift sugges-tions:For the entertainer -

Hosting a dinner party often involves uncorking a bottle of wine. Many peo-ple will open the bottle ear-ly to let it breathe, but the small opening at the top of the wine bottle doesn’t allow air to properly oxy-genate the drink. For this person, the Brookstone aero Wine aerator would be a great holiday gift, as it allows them to do a little entertaining in high-tech style. as an added bonus, throw in a couple of wine and drink markers by Le-Marqueur. these come in gold or silver, and allow the host to put names on wine glasses so attendees know which glass belongs to them. the ink will wash

off with cooking oil so the glasses can be used again at future parties.For the organizer - if

you have someone on your shopping list who is constantly taking notes for shopping lists, calen-dar scheduling or even copying down recipes, the quilted arc leather notebook system sold ex-clusively at Staples will be sure to please. it comes in three colors - teal, pink and black - and can be paired with avant Gel ink pens, giving the recipient a sense of style when note taking.For the youngsters -

children have plenty of electronic gadgets to keep them busy, so consider going a different direction with the gift of origami. Beginners can start off easy with Scholastic Fol-low the directions art Easy origami, which includes all the paper supplies and di-rections needed to create fun farm animals, rockets and fl owers. as a benefi t,

Have diffi cult-to-shop-for people on your gift list? Unique gift ideas that ‘wow’

origami folding helps chil-dren with fi ne motor skills, reading, counting as well as identifying colors and shapes. another fun and

educational gift idea is ap-pleletters, which contains 110 tiles with letters, and games that encourage children to spell out words

using the letters they have in an effort to be the fi rst to use all their tiles.

Find the perfect gift for the music lover on your listBrandpoint nEWS SErvicE

While most people truly enjoy the holiday season, it can also bring a consider-able amount of stress. one commonly reported cause of holiday stress is shop-ping for gifts.Selecting the right gift for

someone can be a daunt-ing task. When choosing a gift, try to fi nd something that relates back to the re-cipient’s interests, hobbies or pastimes. one popular hobby for people of all ages is listening to music. to make this holiday shopping season a little bit easier, here are a few ideas sure

to “wow” the music fan on your gift list.For the record afi cionado.

across the country, record sales have seen a recent resurgence. Most major labels offer Lp versions of newly released music and a growing number of clas-sic albums are being reis-sued on vinyl. the obvious gift to consider for a record neophyte on your shop-ping list is a good turntable. records should always be stored upright, never stacked one on top of an-other, so storage cases that securely keep albums verti-cal are perfect for record

newbies. For any serious collectors on your shopping list, search your neighbor-hood record store, ama-zon.com or online album dealers for fi rst pressings, which deliver audio quality close to the original master disc.For the music lover on the

go. Help your loved ones listen to their favorite tunes anytime, anywhere with a portable travel speaker. travel speakers should be small enough to fi t into a carry-on or backpack pocket yet durable enough to withstand life on the go. also, look for new wireless

offerings that allow users to stream music from their smartphone or device, no docking or cords required. the compact and portable tdK Life on record Wire-less Weatherproof Speaker features Bluetooth(r) wire-less audio streaming and a sleek, weatherized design that protects it from the ele-ments including water and dust.Get them listening with

the perfect headphones. a good pair of headphones is the must-have acces-sory for any music fan. Headphone quality has a large impact on sound, so

getting the right pair is key. Look for sets with special features including in-line iphone/smart device con-trols or wireless options that remove the limitations and restrictions of a cord. With a wide variety of price points to choose from and different designs available - in-ear, on-ear, full-sized and more - you’re sure to fi nd a pair for anyone on your list.Supply them with the mu-

sic they crave. online music services are more popular than ever before. Give your loved ones the gift of unin-terrupted streaming with an upgraded Spotify or pan-

dora account. For a small monthly fee, your friends and family will be upgraded to a subscriber account free of disruptive advertise-ments. if you’re unsure of which streaming service your friends use or you don’t want to buy a sub-scription, gift cards are an-other option. pandora and Spotify both sell gift cards online and these cards are also available at big box re-tailers across the country.For more information and
