Holiday Hints
Swell Holiday Basics
Holiday gift gathering can send you into a tailspin, so here are some swell ways to knock off your list without knocking yourself out:
- Shop all year 'round. Collect gifts and stash them away in a gift closet.
- Give the gift of a life experience, like skating lessons.
- Time spent together is a gift in itself.
- Give homemade gifts with a personal touch.
- Don't forget the more noble kind of giving. Do an act of kindness this holiday season.
Top Easy, Non-Cheesy Holiday Craft Ideas
Want to give your holiday some homespun style? Here are easy, non-cheesy craft ideas:
