Gift Wrapping Tips
- Recycle Gift Bags: Save undamaged gift bags that you or family members received with gifts and use them again.
- Use double-sided tape for a cleaner more professional look.
- If you do not have wrapping paper, colored, comic strip pages from Sunday newspapers or old comic books can be used.
- For added charm, tape some small items onto the wrapped package. A small candy cane, a piece of wrapped chocolate, or a perfume sample given out at the perfume counter of a department store can make the gift more enticing.
- Instead of using themed wrapping paper featuring Rudolf or Elves, buy solid red or gold wrapping paper or gift bags. Solid colored paper can be used year round for Valentine's Day, Birthdays, anniversaries or just about any event.
- Wrapping the gift first in colored tissue paper can make a gift look even more attractive. Again, buy standard gold, red or white colors which can be used in almost any season.
- Raffia or colored yarn, can be a more interesting and sometimes less expensive alternative to ribbon.
- Save gift wrap. Reuse the best looking gift wrap again. Shred the old, torn up gift wrap in the paper shredder to make attractive colorful packing paper.
- Dont throw away old shirts or other clothes. Some of them can be cut up and used to wrap gifts. Gift wrap from material is popular, attractive and is a good way to recycle. If done creatively a package with a zipper or buttons on the top can look great.
- Be creative: Find a bag or wrap that will 'go with' the item you are giving. For example, if you are bringing home a gift from a recent trip, consider using the in-flight air-sickness bag. If you are offering a gourmet food item, use a McDonalds take-away bag. If you are giving your husband a new sweater, wrap it in an old sweater you have hidden away. If you are giving your wife lingerie, wrap it in an old (clean) pair of boxer shorts!

For The Beer Drinker
In just 14 days, beginning and advanced brewers alike can enjoy a glass of premium, handcrafted beer with this home-brewing kit. The 2-1/2-gallon brew keg features a pour tap and wide-mouthed lid for easy cleaning by hand. Included with this microbrewery kit are a can of West Coast Pale Ale mix, which produces a mild, full-bodied beer, a single-use packet of booster, which contains all-natural carbohydrates that enhance flavor and boost alcohol content, and brewer's yeast. The beer-making ingredients are simply mixed with water, left to brew in the keg at room temperature for a week, and then put into the kit's eight one-liter PET bottles for another week, during which time natural carbonation takes place. No CO2 cartridges are needed to enhance sparkle or beer head. Plastic bottle caps and labels are also included, as well as an instruction booklet full of brewing tips and recipes. Other Mr. Beer mixes and booster packs can be ordered separately. The keg is made of FDA-compliant PVC, which does not impart taste or color and is virtually indestructible
