THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE and that means shoppers have started to stockpile gifts for those they love.

Once the shopping rush is over, the time to wrap all of those great finds and treasures has come.

Although some people are gift-wrap gurus, there are many others who feel that their wrapping skills are lacking.

Regardless, anyone can create delightful wrapped gifts with a little know-how.

PREPAREThe first step to wrapping is to have all of the sup-

plies in one place. There are some people who have actually dedicated small rooms as gift-wrap stations.

While you don’t have to go this far, find a large table and keep your tape, tags, paper, ribbon, scis-sors, pen, and other accessories nearby.

Also, sort out the gifts according to recipient and have any gift receipts handy to wrap up with the gift.

Wrap at a time when there are no distractions and you can devote your attention to the task at hand, like after children have gone to bed or during the day when no one is home.

PAPER OR BAGS?When purchasing wrapping paper, it may be

tempting to skimp on the quality of the paper to save some money.

However, a thicker, higher quality paper will make wrapping go more smoothly.

That’s because it will be less likely to tear on boxes or when you’re rolling out and cutting it.

Thicker paper means you’ll also be able to achieve more intricate folds and better creasing around boxes. It also may be more forgivable around oddly shaped items.

Gift bags are the go-to wrapping medium when you’re short on time or have items that are not easily wrapped with paper. Because they come in a variety of sizes — and even giant plastic bags to contain large gifts — they are often more convenient.

OTHER TIPSThere are different tips that can help with

wrapping.n Buy neutral-patterned wrapping paper that co-

ordinates with other papers. This way if you run out of one type of paper you can stagger other pieces and make a collage of papers so there’s no waste.n Use ribbon to dress up a gift and direct the eye

away from any imperfections.n Keep a stack of paper scraps and use it instead

of tissue paper to fill in gift bags.n Keep scissors sharp for clean cuts.n Pack smaller items or oddly shaped things into a

different container that is easier to wrap.

n Roll up clothing and place into a paper towel tube to turn the wrapping paper into a candy cane shaped gift.

Practice often makes perfect when it comes to wrapping gifts. Having the right paper, a few decora-tive supplies and some patience can ensure that gifts look festive this year.

AFTER THE HOLIDAYS HAVE COME AND GONE, it will be time to pack away the decorations, take down the tree and haul large bags of trash to the curb.

If much of that trash filling garbage bags is dis-carded wrapping paper, there may be better ways to put the paper to use.

The gift wrap industry earns roughly $2.6 billion in retail sales each year.

Tons of paper trash are generated from the gift wrap people use to conceal gifts for Christmas, Hanukkah and other special occasions throughout the year.

As much fun as all the different patterns of wrap-ping paper can be, gift wrap is a relatively unneces-sary bit of decor, purchased with the intent of being ripped away and discarded.

There are many ways that wrapping paper can be reused or recycled.

Here are a few to think about:1. Save some scraps of paper to use for children’s

art projects at school and home.2. Use in scrapbooking or as an inexpensive mat-

ting for photos.3. Wrap other presents in paper that has been

preserved well.4. Shred the paper and use it as filler in packing

boxes or as a decorative filling for gift bags.

5. Use bits of paper to make gift tags.6. Employ origami and use leftover gift wrap as

your paper of choice.7. Line shelves or drawers with the paper to

protect surfaces.8. Make some decoupage holiday decorations for

next year.9. Crumple up the paper and use it to stuff into tall

boots so they keep their shape.10. Trace the pattern of an envelope on the paper

and cut out your own envelopes for little notes or holiday greetings for next year.

11. Buy a reusable coffee cup that enables you to change the insert. Use a piece of gift wrap to change the design.

12. Cover a holey bulletin board with a piece of gift wrap for a festive look.

13. Find out which types of paper can be collected by curbside recycling and wrap it up with your news-papers.

14. Add some wrapping paper that’s free of harm-ful dyes to your compost heap.

15. Use paper to line a bird cage.16. Give paper to the kids to play with. Chances

are they can come up with many other great ideas. — Metro Creative Graphics

WHETHER YOU BEGAN YOUR HOLIDAY SHOP-PING in July or will wait until the last minute, this year’s gifting trends encourage shoppers to be clever and creative with some practical pizazz.n Accessorize:

There’s no doubt about it, technology is always evolving.

Your list is filled with people who already have all the latest in gadgetry.

Tech accessories are

great gifts and easy on the budget.

Compliment her smartphone with novelty earbuds, a waterproof cover or an armband case for exercising. Give him a wireless keyboard, a por-table speaker or a stand for his tablet.n Serve it up: Instead

of exchanging gifts, treat close friends and family to a merry night of food and drink on the house — yours that is.

The memories of this joyous evening will last much longer than the gift cards you gave out last year.n Something for

everyone: Holiday shop-pers are looking to find high quality gifts that can be given to many recipients such as the school principal, the con-tractor or the hairstylist.

Why not give gift baskets?

Gift baskets are the perfect gift for the wom-en and the men on your shopping list this year. n Multi-purpose

gifts: Who doesn’t want to give a gift that is ap-preciated twice?

Gifts that have mul-tiple purposes are a big trend this year.

For example, personal-ize a platter for your mom at your local pottery store and she can use it for spe-cial occasions throughout the year.

Take advantage of this year’s gifting trends and you’ll end up with thoughtful and practical gifts ... unlike that par-tridge in a pear tree.

MUCH OF WHAT MAKES THE HOLIDAY SEASON so special are the traditions that people hold dear.

While families have traditions that stretch back decades, there is plenty of opportunity to embrace new means of celebration to breathe new life into Christmas, Hanukkah or the season’s other holidays.

Chances are you’re already hanging stockings or going caroling this year.

You can add some of these and modify as they fit for your family:

1. Feed the birds. During the cold days of winter, a variety of birds

may find it difficult to forage for food. By trimming an outdoor pine tree with edible

snacks you’ll have a beautiful tree and one that benefits the birds as well.

Make little ornaments out of suet and string for the birds to hang on the tree.

Berries and corn can also be strung or placed in hanging feeders to be enjoyed by a variety of birds.

Be sure to choose a tree that is far enough away from the home, so you don’t have too many scavengers hunting and pecking around the house.

2. Create a photo Advent calendar. Make your own Advent calendar that has small

doors that open up to photos of different family members.

Or use a collection of children’s pictures that show-case how they’ve changed as they’ve grown older.

3. “Adopt” a child for holiday gifts. Each year you can bring a smile to a child in need

by purchasing a present for an underprivileged kid. Some post offices sponsor “Letters from Santa”

Eight ways to create new holiday traditionsevents where participants can respond to one of the thousands of letters mailed to The North Pole.

Or work with a local charity that organizes events to bring gifts to children in hospitals or in foster care.

4. Holiday story countdown. Every night in December, watch a movie or read a

story that tells an uplifting holiday tale. Use this as a method of counting down until

Christmas. On the night prior, reading “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” should suffice.

5. Remember someone who has passed on.The holiday season is one made beautiful by

lighted candles and twinkling lights. Remember a loved one or a friend who has passed

away by lighting a remembrance candle in his or her honor. It’s a way this person can still be part of the festivities.

6. Have a holiday sing-along. Sure, it may be tradition to go around the neigh-

borhood singing carols, but it’s just as fun indoors.Have a singing party where guests are given lyrics

to popular tunes they can sing around the piano or karaoke machine.

7. Bring some joy to a public servant. Police officers, firefighters, military personnel ...

many of these workers do not get off for the holidays.There is a certain number of public servants who

must remain on call in the event of an emergency.Treat these people to something enjoyable when

they may be missing their own festivities. Cook or cater a meal for a firehouse, deliver cook-

ies to the police station or put together care packages for people living on a military base.

8. Banish the holiday blues. When the holidays are done for another year, many

people find they become a little down. After all, a home that was once filled with merry

trinkets may now go back to the bare essentials.Create a tradition where everyone in the family re-

ceives one more gift — a personalized ornament that can be packed away for use next year — that’s given in January before the decorations are packed away.

It’s another opportunity to open a present, and it symbolizes looking forward to the joy of next year.
