Choose your ownChristmas tree

SEBASTIAN — Decking the halls,roasting chestnuts on an open fire andvisions of dancing sugarplums don’thave to be the only Christmas traditionsobserved in Indian River County thisyear.

Christmas celebrations and wildlifeconservation can go hand-in-hand thisyear with fresh-cut, all-natural FloridaChristmas trees.

Jane Schnee is opening her recentlyacquired property in Sebastian, whichshe purchased to preserve as a Floridascrub jay habitat, to the public so theycan choose pine trees to cut down anduse for their personal Christmas trees.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service inVero Beach and other volunteers fromthe Pelican Island Audubon Society willbe on hand to cut down the sand pinetrees that people can choose on theirtrip to the nearly 11-acre property onBarber Street in front of Park Place, themanufactured home community onfour dates before Christmas, Ms.Schnee said.

“It will be like the pioneers used todo,” Ms. Schnee said.

Volunteers will be on hand to help cutdown trees on Nov. 25 and 26 and Dec. 3and Dec. 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,she said.

“I thought it would be a great idea forChristmas and we’re doing it the week-end after Thanksgiving, which is when a

lot of people want to put up theirChristmas decorations,” Ms. Schneesaid.

Sand pines are slender with short,soft needles and small oval pinecones.They tend to lean in the direction of thestrongest winds and are considered anative Florida Christmas tree becausethey were used as Christmas trees byearly Florida settlers.

The pine trees on the property, bothslash pines and sand pines, havebecome quite plentiful and are limitingthe scrub jay’s line of sight when theywatch for predators on Ms. Schnee’sproperty, as well as taking up space theyneed for burying acorns to feed them-selves during the winter when bugs areless plentiful, said Trish Adams of theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office inVero Beach.

The public is welcome to come outand pick out their tree and take it homefor free, although a $20 donation willgive an individual a year-long member-ship to the Pelican Island AudubonSociety, Ms. Adams said.

The funds raised will be used for con-servation efforts in Indian River County.

By removing the trees from the prop-erty, a family will be joining in a historicFlorida Christmas tradition and helpingmake a Florida scrub jay habitat a saferand healthier environment, Ms. Schneesaid.

It doesn’t take a genius to figureout that one of the most popu-lar gift-giving categories is elec-

tronics.Just wander into Best Buy the day

after Thanksgiving and check out theunruly mob of shoppers and thelong lines at the checkout lanes. Lotsof people like to give or receivegadgets for the holidays.

But which one to choose? It’salways a daunting question, even forthe experienced gadget freak. Hereare some guidelines that might help,from someone who has bought morethan his share of cutting-edgeelectronics over the past 30 years.

Tablets: No question about it.Tablets are the hottest thing outthere these days and there are anincreasing number to choose from.The two top sellers this year arelikely to be two new 7-inch models:the Amazon Kindle Fire and theNook Tablet from Barnes & Noble.Both are Android-powered devicesbut the Nook boasts more storage —

16GB versus 8GB on the Fire — andis more expandable with a micro SDslot. The biggest appeal of these twonew tablets will likely to be their lowprices, $199 for the Fire and $249 forthe Nook.

No matter which one you choose,that’s a real bargain compared to theindustry-leading Apple iPad, whichstarts at about $500. The iPad has abigger screen, is more powerful andprobably is still the only choice forApple fanatics. But if you just wantto find out what the big deal is abouttablets, and don’t want to spend anarm and a leg, the Kindle Fire andNook Tablet probably will be goodchoices. Both tablets will be capableof streaming HD video (albeit fromdifferent specific collections) andtapping into each store’s respectivemusic and print libraries, as well asrunning a special collection of apps.Both are wi-fi only. No 3G option.

Prices are dropping quickly on themany of the iPad wanna-bes outthere, including the Samsung GalaxyTab, Toshiba Thrive, Motorola Xoom,Acer Iconia and others. Expect most

Fresh, unique gift ideas at area farmer’s markets

VERO BEACH — Goat milk soaps andlotions, freshly baked bread, gardenaccessories and more are among thetreasures to be found at local farmer’smarkets that can make interesting giftsand treats for the Christmas season.

The holiday season is usually packedwith activities, shopping and food, all ofwhich can be found at the two outdoorfarmer’s markets in Vero Beach.

Brimming with produce from localfarmers and retailers, breads, pastries,juices, honey and even poultry, thelocal markets have a little bit of every-thing for a delicious dinner table whenfamily comes to visit.

The organic market in downtownVero Beach is open on Fridays from 3p.m. to 6 p.m. in Pocahontas Park. Theocean side farmer’s market on OceanDrive is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m.to noon.

“We had tried the organic market on

Sundays, but it wasn’t a good time foranyone,” said Kathleen Prouty, execu-tive director of Main Street Vero Beach,organizers of the downtown market.

“We had had success on Fridaysbefore, so we decided to move it back toFridays and did it later in the afternoonso people can stop by after work,” Ms.Prouty said.

The market is scheduled to end at 6p.m., but sometimes the vendors stayout a little bit later, she said.

The downtown market highlightsorganic products including locallygrown produce and even has some pro-duce grown using a hydroponic system,Ms. Prouty said.

Healthy foods, such as gluten-freecookies, desserts and other bakeryitems are available at the market, aswell.

of those to be quite a bit cheaper than acomparable iPad (although probablynot as cheap as the Fire) after Thanks-giving, if not earlier. All run on theAndroid operating system, which willlook and feel different from the cus-tom-built versions of the same OS usedon the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. Anyof those larger tablets would be a goodchoice if you want a bigger screen thanthe Fire and Nook have, but don’t wantto spend the big bucks for an iPad.Expect to pay between $300 and $450,depending on the size and features.

Many tablets offer the same 3Goption as the iPad, but the best adviceis to skip that unless you are sure youneed it. A tablet that can access thecellular network is not only moreexpensive on the front end, it costs theuser $30 a month or more for a dataplan. Wi-fi only tablets don’t require adata plan.

Also, you probably should avoid the“no-name” tablets. They may cost a lotless but there’s a reason for that. No-name tablets are likely to suffer frompoor reliability and build quality, datedor closed operating systems, and/or alack of applications that will run onthem.

If price is no object, the iPad is stillthe best of the bunch.

E-book readers: This was a hotcategory last year and is likely to beeven hotter this year, again thanks toAmazon. It has cut the price on its baseKindle e-reader to $79, about $50 lessthan last year. That model would be thebest choice if you want the best dealand are a big reader. The black andwhite e-ink screen on the Kindle iseasier on the eyes over the long haulthan color models and is readable evenin bright sunlight.

If you want to spend a little more andlike the idea of a touch screen, there aretwo good choices: for $99, you can get atouch-screen version of the Kindle orthe competing Barnes & Noble NookSimple Touch. Barnes & Noble recentlyslashed the price of its Nook by $40 so itcan compete head-to-head with theKindle. These two readers are verysimilar so the decision comes down topersonal taste. Study each model,including the libraries they can access,and choose the one you like the best.Most color tablets can also be used as e-readers, but don’t work as well as thededicated black-and-white readers,whose e-ink display most closely mimicthe printed page. Still, Barnes & Nobledoes make a color version of its Nook e-reader and recently cut the price from

$250 to $199.

Smartphones: These gadgets arealways a popular choice for gift giving,since almost everyone can use one andnew models seem to hit store shelveson almost a daily basis. Apple’s newiPhone 4S is a good choice for Applefans and newcomers to the smartphoneworld, since the OS is arguably betterthan the many Android competitorsand the apps are often more capable.And with prices starting around $199(with two-year contract), it won’t breakthe bank. Opt for the older, but almostas capable iPhone 4 if money is tight, itstarts at $99, half the price of the 4S . Orthe even older iPhone 3GS, which insome cases, is free with a two-yearcontract. The iPhone 4 looks almostidentical to the 4S but lacks the 4Sinternal improvements, including afaster processor and better camera.

On the Android front, the choices aremore numerous and complicated.

Among the newest offerings is theSamsung Galaxy Nexus, due in mid-November and the first to run on thenew Android 4 operating system codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich. This dual-core phone is 4G LTE capable, thefastest data service available, and has alarger screen than the iPhone. Priceshave not been set but expect to paybetween $200 and $300 (with contract)

to have this latest and greatest smart-phone. Other options include the less-popular Windows-based and Blackber-ry phones. Steer clear of those unlessyou need any special features they mayoffer. Apple and Android are now thedominant players in the cell phonemarketplace.

For those who don’t need the latesttechnology but still want the conven-ience of a cell phone, consider a pay-as-you go service such as Tracfone. If youdon’t need a lot of minutes or the mostmodern smart phone, you can get ayear’s worth of cell phone service forless than $9 a month (you also have tobuy the phone, which generally costsfrom $20 to $50).

HDTV: Prices continue to fall onHDTVs, while the feature set improves.The sweet spot can found in the 46-inch to 50-inch models, which are nowgoing for as little as $500 and are likelyto go even lower as the holidaysapproach. The price of 32-inch modelsis now routinely below $300. That couldmake HDTVs a good choice for giftgiving this year.

The big push this holiday season,however, will be the more expensivemodels with wired or wireless Internetconnectivity, which is usually tied to a

ation, said local farmers, growers andvendors are the core of their marketstructure and supporting them is thebest way to thank them for all they do inIndian River County.

During the holidays, more vendorstend to come out, and this year willinclude a Christmas tree farm and alocal poultry farmer whose turkeys andchicken are raised hormone- andantibiotic-free.

Produce, plants and pet treats arealso available at the ocean side market,providing gift ideas and items for the

dinner table, Ms. Swartz said.Handmade home and garden decora-

tive accessories could be an excellent,unique gift idea, and locally grown can-died pecans make great stockingstuffers, she said.

Hello, smart shoppers. Let’smake an amazing Christmasappetizer.

For as far back as I can remember,artichokes were one of my favoritefoods. If you’ve never had an arti-choke, there’s no time like Christmasto try one. It’s not something servedat many tables and they can beexpensive, but it is a gourmet treatyou must try.

Artichokes are nutrient dense andhigh in fiber. If you’re having a smallintimate dinner, nothing can com-pare to stuffed artichokes.

The ways I remember eating arti-chokes are stuffed, marinated or withoil and garlic. Every recipe I’ve everread has you dipping the leaves ineither butter or hollandaise sauce.Mayonnaise and aioli are other popu-lar choices.

I think that if asked what one of myfavorite things to do is, I would haveto say teaching a little child how toeat an artichoke.

Trivial? No. Sheer joy! If you’ve never eaten one, come

along with me and we’ll learn how. The base, or heart, of the artichoke

is the part you want to eat. Every timeyou pull a leaf off the base, it has a lit-tle piece of the delicious heart cling-ing to it. You do not eat the whole leaf;you put it between your teeth andthen pull the leaf out, catching thepillow of flesh with your teeth.

When my granddaughter, Meagan,was 2, she watched her daddy, Steve,eat an artichoke and reached out forit. When I asked her if she wanted totry one, she shook her head yes. Howdo you explain to a 2 year old that“bite down” does not mean hang onfor dear life? She clamped her teethdown on that leaf as I struggled topull it out of her mouth. Once she gota taste of the delicious flesh, though,she quickly learned the proper tech-nique.

Once all of the leaves have beenpulled off and enjoyed, you are left

with the “choke” and the heart. Younever want to learn what the “choke”in artichoke really means. The inedi-ble florets in the center of the veg-etable will most definitely make youchoke and must be removed.

Getting to the artichoke heart is likegetting to the prize at the bottom of acereal box. It is superb and can beeaten out of hand or used in manydishes. You can also peel the stem,slice and cook it with the artichokes.Enjoy, see you next week!

STUSTU FF FF EE D ARD ARTITI CC HH OO KEKE SSSerSer ves 4 ves 4

4 large artichokes 3 cups soft bread crumbs, (four slices of bread) 1 tablespoon parsley flakes or few sprigs chopped Italian parsley 1/2-teaspoon each dried oregano and salt 1/4-teaspoon black pepper 1/4-pound fresh mushrooms, chopped (optional) 4 cloves garlic, chopped

1/3-cup grated, imported Parmesan cheese 1/2-cup lightly toasted pine nuts, coarsely chopped Extra virgin olive oil Dry white wine, such as chablis or Chardonnay

Prepare artichokes by cutting thestem end even with the bottom. Breakoff small leaves at the bottom andsnip off tips of the leaves. Smash topdown on cutting board to loosenleaves.

Place in cold water to which youhave added 1 tablespoon lemon juicefor 15 minutes. Rinse, drain and pullopen as much as possible. Placeupright in a large pot with 1-inchwater and a little lemon juice.

Cover, bring to a boil and simmerfor 30 minutes. While the artichokeswon’t be fully cooked, they will beeasier to stuff. When cool enough tohandle using a small knife or grape-fruit knife spread leaves and cut downinto center to remove the inedible

Holiday plant safety tipsHi, everybody. With the

holidays getting into fullswing, many of us are going

to purchase one or more colorfulholiday plants that are available.

For the most part, these plants aresafe, but some safety precautionsshould be taken. With some commonsense precautions, you can have asafe and happy holiday season.

Poinsettia. These colorful holidayplants are safe plants to have aroundyour home during the holidays. Aswith any ornamental, they should bekept out of reach of small childrenand should never be ingested.Although not particularly toxic tohumans, they can be very toxic tosmall animals. If you have pets thathave a habit of chewing your plants,opt for the artificial variety. They canoften look just as spectacular as thereal thing and you can reuse themyear after year. Over time, this cansave you a pile of money.

Mistletoe. Using mistletoe as adecoration is a tradition that has beencarried out for centuries. During

Pagan times, troops at war who metwith the presence of mistletoe wererequired to lay down their weaponsand unite in a day of truce. Mistletoewas also used during rituals thatcelebrated the winter solstice. It wasused as a symbol of the eventualreturn of the sun.

In Christianity, mistletoe has beenused as symbol of love ever since theMiddle Ages. During this era, mistle-toe was blessed by a priest and allthose who walked under it kissed as asign of friendship and all bad feelingswere extinguished.

In modern times, the tradition ofbeing kissed under the mistletoe isstill in full force. A trip to your localholiday shop will usually yield bothlive and artificial versions of thispopular holiday plant. The “live”

mistletoe plant is toxic if ingested andshould be kept out of the reach ofsmall children and pets. As long as itis not ingested, this plant can stillcreate a warm feeling of friendship toall who walk under it.

Live Christmas trees. Although livetrees are the main symbol of this greatday, they can pose hazards if nothandled and cared for properly. Themain hazard from live trees is fire.When you first bring your tree home,be sure to cut a slice off the bottombefore placing it in its new location.This will help the tree to absorb waterfaster, which will greatly lengthen itsuseful life.

There are many products on themarket that are labeled as “treesavers” that are useful in helping thetree to absorb water faster and over alonger period of time. It is importantwhen choosing the location for yournew tree to place it away from anyheat sources or sparks. In the past,using faulty Christmas lights thateither shorted out or sparked hascaused most tree-related fires.

Icannot tell you how many timesI have seen a small businessopen up in my community, say

to myself, “Oh, that’s great, I’ll haveto get in there,” and then drive bymonths later and realize that I haveyet to make that first stop to see whatthis new venture is all about.

This frustrates me. My intentionsare good. And maybe if I had seenvarious advertisements remindingme about the place, I would havemade that visit.

The best part is when it’s locallyowned; it’s not just a business, but aperson — possibly a neighbor orsomeone I know from the gym or thepark or school events.

It’s personal.I think of the excitement they must

have had when first getting the ideafor the business, putting it togetherand actually seeing it take shape.Then, as the excitement slowly fadesand the reality of success or failure isin plain view, the realization of sucha brave move takes hold.

It is all of our responsibility to helpour local business people succeed. Itis the core of a community. Thelifeblood. Without our local businesspartners, we would be left with onlythe large national chains with no tiesto our community, only looking totake our money and run when timesget rough.

So, this holiday season, I havemade a pact with myself to purchaseeverything I possibly can from localpurveyors. Bikes, music, wine,gourmet food, books, even clothesfor my trendy wife can be found in

businesses owned by those who liveamong us.

Sure, I might pay a little more, butthat extra coin will stay in my com-munity, not be shipped off to somecorporate headquarters up north.

And by purchasing local, you gethometown service. It’s nice to be ableto pick up the phone and get anactual person on the line or walk intoa place and talk to the same personwho sold you an item.

Holiday dinners and parties? Localrestaurants only. There’s somethingto be said about walking into a place“where everyone knows your name.”

Not that all locally owned busi-nesses are perfect. Many of them areowned by people who have neverbeen in business for themselvesbefore. But because they dreamedand dared, I think we can cut them alittle slack while they work out thekinks. If we stick with them now,think of the gratitude they will showus later.

I hope you will join me in patroniz-ing locally owned businesses thisholiday season. Because it’s not justbusiness, it’s personal.

In addition, lights that produce toomuch heat can be a problem on a treethat has been in use for an extendedperiod of time.

Today, one of the best ways to staysafe is to use the new LED lights that areavailable for decorating. They look greatand besides running cooler than otherlights, they also save you green. Theyuse a fraction of the power of conven-tional lighting methods.

Use only UL-approved extensioncords and power strips. Using LED

lights will not create as much as a loadon your extension cords and poweradapters.

With the availability of a largeselection of artificial trees, for manypeople this will be a great alternative tothe live tree. Most are now in threepieces with all the lights alreadyattached and they last year after yearsaving you lots of money over time.

As you can see, with some commonsense practices, you can stay safe thisholiday season.

Gifts for all types of golfersHappy holidays! Just in case you

are stumped on what to getthat special golfer on your

holiday gift list, I have a few sugges-tions.

Putters have become an art form, andno one is better at creating a putter thatis also a piece of art than Bruce Size-more. His latest line is a collaborationwith Super Stroke(www.superstrokeusa.com), the compa-ny with the oversize grips that K.J. Choihas used with much success.

The Diamond Cut Finish line featuresfour new models, with two mallets onthe way. The putter was designed towork in concert with the Super Strokegrips. The result is a beautiful putterthat performs even better than it looks.You can even custom build your ownright on the website for an even moreperfect fit.

If you know someone whoís notswing the club as fast as they used to, orsimply want something lighter, fasterand ultimately longer in their hands,try Tour Edge’s (www.touredge.com)new Bazooka HT Max-D drivers andfairway woods.

The new HT Max D line features anaerodynamic design and lighter, longershaft that helps generate faster clubhead speed for longer shots. The deepface, huge sweet spot and advancedweighting technology combine todeliver explosive power and accuracy.

Best of all, the driver retails for under$150 and the fairways under $120 andcome with Tour Edge’s lifetime warrantyand a 30-day performance guarantee.

If your golfer loves to travel, theDatrek Golf’s (www.datrekgolf.com)three-piece travel set may be the perfectgift. The set includes a golf bag travelcover with wheels, a duffle bag and a

shoe bag for under $100.The travel cover features lots of

padding and extra pockets and also hasin-line skate wheels for a smooth, easyroll. The duffle bag is just the right sizefor a carry-on.

Every golfer could use some practice.Improving you putting is the quickestway to lower your score. Fan Mats andTour Links (www.TourLinks.net) hascombined the logo from your favoriteprofessional team, or college or militarybranch into its new line of puttinggreens.

These greens feature club speed turfwith adjustable breaks and two regula-tion cups and pins. The 4-foot by 10-foot green is ready for use in any indooror outdoor space. Molded from highimpact polymers, the patented designmakes installation a snap.

Kangarila (www.kangarila.com) is anew way of playing golf that will add anextra level of fun or frustration to yourgame. In this game the balls act as dice.The balls are printed with the names ofdifferent clubs such as “wedge” or “7-iron.” You tee off and hit your Kangarilagolf ball. When you arrive at the ball, theside facing up will tell you which clubyou must use for your next shot.

It’s a great way to add some fun andimprove on your shot-making skills. Youcan even just choose one or two holeseach round where you play the Kangari-

la balls.While we don’t experience

snow and seldom see freezingtemperatures for any extendedperiod of time, we Floridians stillneed jackets and sweaters.

Abacus Apparel (www.abacus-outdoor.com) is the company thatoutfitted the European SolheimCup team. Its new pebble fleecejacket is perfect for those cooldays that we see in the winterhere. The soft, warm polyesterfleece features a full-length frontzipper and flat-lock seams thatallow you to stay warm andunrestricted while swinging.

The newest apparel fromSunice (www.sunice.com),outfitter to the U.S. Solheim Cupteam, is its Typhoon Collection.The company has added thebenefit of “full-stretch” to thisline. Now in addition to abreathable, lightweight, quieterperformance fabric, you get thebenefit of a garment that stretch-es with you while keeping thewind and rain away.

Books are another great giftidea. Stuart resident Judy Alvarezis a world renowned golf instruc-tor and “Golf Digest” Florida top15 teacher. She has trained PGAand LPGA professionals, conduct-ed seminars, clinics and more.

Her new book “Broken Teesand Mended Hearts” is aninspirational read. In the bookshe talks of her experiencesworking as an instructor forveterans and civilians withdisabilities. It is available at mostbook stores, golf shops andthrough her website atwww.JudyAlvarez.com.

Finally, there is always a giftcertificate for a round of golf oreven a cap or shirt from theirfavorite course. Some of the morefamous courses in the countrywill even ship hats and shirts toyou if you call them and place anorder with your credit card.

Whatever you decide I’m surethe golfer on your list will love thethought that went into it. Just besure to avoid the topless ladytees!

names of the roads arespoken), lane-assist (tellsyou more about the nextturn, including the numberof turn lanes and which sideof the road the exit is on) andBluetooth (pairs with yourBluetooth phone for hands-free phone calls).

Stick with a name brand,such as Garmin, Tom-Tom orMagellan and go for at least a4.3-inch screen. The larger 5-inch screens don’t cost a lotmore so if you like the idea ofa bigger screen, go for it.

Speech recognition, whichallows you to control thedevice with voice commands,also is a convenient feature,but sometimes it is not wellimplemented. Check onlinereviews before you buy.

Lifetime maps and trafficservice are also are desirablefeatures if you plan to keepthe GPS unit for more than ayear.

Odds and ends: If you orsomeone you know suffersfrom remote control clutter,solve it with a unified remotethat allows you controleverything with one device. Ihave tried lots of them butthe best I have found is theHarmony One from Log-itech. It handles up to 15devices and all programmingis done via the Harmony OneWeb site, so there are nofrustrating multi-numbercodes to enter. And whenyou are done, it’s easy to startyour TV, stereo receiver,cable box, DVD or Blu-rayplayer and gaming deviceswith one touch. The cus-tomizable LCD touch screenon the Harmony One isactivity based. So to watchTV, you simply choose“watch TV” and all thecorrect devices come on withall the right settings. Ditto forplaying video games orplaying a DVD.

The Harmony One is notcheap, between $150 and$200, and the setup can be

challenging. But it can saveyou a lot of headaches andallow you to shove all thoseother remote controls into adrawer somewhere. (Harmo-ny also makes less expensiveversions starting at around$30 that can be programmedonline.)

Another good inexpensivegift for someone who has aniPod or other music devicethat supports Bluetooth is agood pair of wireless Blue-tooth stereo headphones.Everyone who has ever usedearbuds knows the cord thatconnects the earpieces to theplayer can be a pain. Blue-tooth headphones, whichcost between $30 and $100,allow you to get rid of thecord, without loss of soundquality. Shop online for thebest selection and price,since these gadgets arescarce and expensive in mostarea retail stores.

Happy holiday shopping.

Other tipsThere are different tips that can help

with wrapping.• Buy neutral-patterned wrapping

paper that coordinates with otherpapers. This way if you run out of onetype of paper you can stagger otherpieces and make a collage of papers sothere’s no waste.

• Use ribbon to dress up a gift anddirect the eye away from any imper-

fections.• Keep a stack of paper scraps and

use it instead of tissue paper to fill ingift bags.

• Keep scissors sharp for clean cuts.• Pack smaller items or oddly

shaped things into a different contain-er that is easier to wrap.

• Roll up clothing and place into apaper towel tube to turn the wrappinginto a candy cane shaped gift.

Practice often makes perfect when itcomes to wrapping gifts. Having theright paper, a few decorative suppliesand some patience can ensure thatgifts look festive this year.

beyond?Of course, there are no ironclad

rules when it comes to tipping or gift-ing others during the holidays. Forexample, many people don't find itnecessary to tip their auto mechaniccome the holidays for the same rea-sons you wouldn't tip an attorney.

Both are already well compensated,and an extra tip is not necessary.However, if your auto mechanicsaved your car from the scrap heap orprovided service that is above andbeyond what you have a right toexpect, then perhaps a tip or athoughtful gift is in order.

When the holiday season arrives,generosity often reigns. But men andwomen should not feel obligated totip or gift every person in their lives.

Gift wrapping tricks and tipsThe holidays are here and that means

shoppers have started to stockpile giftsfor those they love. Once the shoppingrush is over, the time to wrap all of thosegreat finds and treasures has come.

Although some people are gift-wrapgurus, there are many others who feelthat their wrapping skills are lacking.Regardless, anyone can create delight-ful wrapped gifts with a little know-how.

PrepareThe first step to wrapping is to have

all of the supplies in one place. Thereare some people who have actuallydedicated small rooms as gift-wrap sta-tions. While you don’t have to go this far,find a large table and keep your tape,tags, paper, ribbon, scissor, pen, andother accessories nearby.

Also, sort out the gifts according torecipient and have any gift receiptshandy to wrap up with the gift.

Wrap at a time when there are no dis-tractions and you can devote your

attention to the task at hand, like afterchildren have gone to bed or during theday when no one is home.

Paper or bags?When purchasing wrapping paper, it

may be tempting to skimp on the quali-ty of the paper to save money. However,a thicker, higher quality paper willmake wrapping go more smoothly.That’s because it will be less likely totear on boxes or when you’re rolling outand cutting it.

Thicker paper means you’ll also beable to achieve more intricate folds andbetter creasing around boxes. It alsomay be more forgivable around oddlyshaped items.

Gift bags are the go-to wrappingmedium when you’re short on time orhave items that are not easily wrappedwith paper. Because they come in avariety of sizes — and even giant plasticbags to contain large gifts — they areoften more convenient.

Come the holiday season, mostpeople find themselves in a givingmood. Gifting friends, family andeven coworkers is common, but thereare many other people in our dailylives who societal norms suggestdeserve a gift as well.

Holiday tipping is more common incertain areas than others, but thereare a few questions men and womencan ask themselves when trying todecide if a person in their livesdeserves a holiday tip or gift.

How often do you see the person?How frequently you see a person

can help determine if that persondeserves a holiday gift or tip. Forexample, a child's babysitter ornanny deserves a little somethingextra come the holidays because youlikely see that person on a regularbasis. The same goes for the postmanor a dog walker. Men and women yourarely see or rarely need do not war-rant a tip or gift.

Where do you live?Where a person lives also goes a

long way toward determining a holi-day tip or gift. People who live inapartments should show their appre-ciation to the doorman and buildingsuperintendent with a tip or gift.Homeowners need not tip their localhandyman, however, even if he per-forms the same tasks as a buildingsuperintendent. Homeowners tend todo more of their own fix-ups aroundthe house, while apartment dwellersoften rely on the super to keep theirapartment in tip-top shape.

Is the person a professional?Men and women who provide pro-

fessional services, such as account-ants, lawyers and doctors, do notwarrant a tip during the holidays.These professionals are already paidhandsomely for their services, andmany might even gift their cus-tomers. For those who have an espe-cially strong relationship with theiraccountant, lawyer, etc., perhaps agift such as a bottle of wine might bea nice gesture. But it's certainly notmandatory.
