"Buy your family and friends one of the many delicious vegetarian and other healthy gifts available this year. "Whether they're die-hard meat-eaters or gourmet vegetarians, there's something on our list that's bound to please. Even someone who thinks fudge is a food group will find some of these fruit, veggie, and meatless gifts irresistible." PCRM's nutrition staff combed the Internet for the most appealing, low-fat food gift ideas. The ten gifts featured above represent a mix of large and small suppliers and a range of prices. All food products meet PCRM criteria by being predominantly low-fat, fiber-rich, and cholesterol-free. "It's encouraging to see just how many healthy choices are available these days," says Ms. Turner-McGrievy. "Careful shoppers will find healthy choices on most Web sites. Even HickoryFarms.com offers gorgeous fruit baskets amidst its infamous sausage-and-cheese packs." PCRM does not accept any compensation for these gift recommendations and cannot guarantee the availability of products sold by these vendors or Web site security. Although a few of the products may come with recipes that suggest adding cheese, butter, or other unhealthy foods, vegetarian substitutions are always easy to make.

Third in the list of most-hated birthday presents is bath salts, followed by decorative plates and tight-fitting clothing. Eight out of 10 Americans (82 percent) said it is sometimes difficult to find an ideal birthday gift for a friend or family member. While the average U.S. family spends $750 per year on birthday presents, half of all birthday gifts are never used. Americans are wasting millions of dollars buying unsuitable birthday gifts which are never used. Even gift vouchers make you look as though you have not gone to any effort to choose an appropriate birthday gift, said Shlomo Shaul, publisher of Star Stories personalized horoscope books. "I got so many scented candles and bath oils one year, I thought my friends were trying to tell me I stunk," said one research participant. The full list is available at: www.star-stories.com I happen to LOVE scented candles, but usually only Yankee Candles, which smell GREAT. I also like bath salts. I do not wear col ogne since I am nursing. Since star stories are trying to sell a product, I am not sure how much faith to put into this story. Still, I have to wonder. Last Christmas, my MIL gave me a scented candle for my present. My SIL, who drew my name in the family exchange, gave me TWO scented candles. My husband gave me two scented candles--my only Christmas Gift from him. What does this say about me? Written by hestiahomeschool . (Link to this entry) This entry has 7 comments: ( Add your own ) Hi, I got your kind e-mail while I was also gone. I was visting my parents and had a great time. I have a lot of catching up to do. I love candles and it does not matter what a person gives me. Also I never expect a present from anyone. All I want from others is friendship. To me that is the best present given. That is why I started a journal in the first place was to meet people and make friends and I sure hope you and I can be good friends. I love your journal and writing style BTW. I will be back to catch up on your life. :) Anita http://edit.journals.aol.com/ ginskia/whatdescribesanitaasan itaasanind Comment from ginskia - 9/7/04 3:45 PM we did dirty santa last Christmas at the in laws.Everyone buys a gift and you draw #'s to pick a gift out.My sil took 3 sets of candles for 3 gifts,1 from her, the dh and her daughter- it was funny cause the men ended up with the candles and they did not want them.Even the women did not want them.I like candles but these had no smell at all- I have a feeling that they will end up being re gifts this year! : ) ~ Anita Comment from apropst1 - 9/6/04 3:05 PM Ya I like scented candels too..have you ever smelled soy candels...I just bought some and they really have a nice scent to them.
