Early Show Contributors • Section Front E-mail This Story Printable Version Valentine's Gifts: New Approaches NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2005 Chic Valentine's Day Gifts (Photo: CBS/The Early Show) (Photo: CBS/The Early Show) (Photo: CBS/The Early Show) (CBS) The National Retail Federation's 2005 Valentine's Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey found that the average consumer will spend $97.27 on Valentine's Day. In all, 2005 Valentine's Day spending is expected to reach $13.19 billion. Greeting cards are the most popular Valentine's Day item, with two-thirds of consumers planning to buy at least one card for the holiday. That was followed by nearly half of all consumers intending to give candy or treat themselves to an evening out. More than half of men -- 57.8 percent say they'll buy flowers and almost one-in-five plans to purchase jewelry for Valentine's Day. But if you're still wondering what to get your special someone, The Early Show contributor Laurie Hibberd has a fresh spin on some traditional gifts, in Tuesday's "Trend Report." The descriptions are provided by the retailer or manufacturer. FLOWERS "I LOVE YOU" ROSE PLANTS: Perhaps this first gift is best for the strong silent types. Tthese "I Love You" roses are the perfect romantic way to tell your Valentine how you truly feel. There are three 4 3/4" square ceramic pots that spell out "I Love You" when joined together.

Christmas Coupons Age 5+ Great stocking stuffers for mom and dad! Christmas Puzzle Piece Picture Frame Age 2+ Chocolate-Mint Spoon Age 4+ Desk Snow Globe Age 4+ Dog Biscuits Make a Christmas treat for Rover! Age 3+ Easy Blanket Idea Age 5+ Easy Gift Tag Ideas Any Age Hawaiian Cookies in a Jar Age 3+ (my 3 year old, loves measuring and dumping ingredients) Painted Ornaments easy enough for young children to do, but such a pretty result that even adults will enjoy this project! Age 3+ Pinecone Ornament Age 2+ Plastic Canvas Christmas Tree Ornaments Age 6+ Ribbon Ornaments likely the toughest craft on the site. Suitable for adults. Age 1 2+ Rudolf Pin Age 5+ Snowman Soup with optional Mug Age 2+ can do the soup Age 5+ can make the mug to go with No Picture Available Tile Collage Age 5+ Tri Bead Napkin Rings Age 5+ Christmas Handprint Craft Ideas: Handprint and footprint crafts make great Christmas craftprojects. Rather than simply doing the projects on paper, you can stampthem with fabric paint onto t-shirts or napkins. You can arrange them onpaper and cover with clear contact paper to make placemats. Or you cantrace onto craft foam, cut out and glue to make wall hangings and Christmas treeornaments. Here's a list of hand and footprint Christmas projects on thesite: Angel Handprint and Footprint Craft with Poem Christmas Handprint Wreath Christmas Tree Handprint Craft Rudolf Hand and Foot Craft If you would like to add to the project, we have a variety of handprint poems to go with your craft. Here are some more thoughts that viewers have sent in: I have a home daycare with kids the ages of 0-7. Some christmas gift we have made are. Handprint wreath on burlap with a wooden dowel to make it a banner. I just painted the kids hands green and helped them place it in a circle then I painted their thumb red to make berries. I also took blue felt and painted their feet white and had them stand on the felt then painted their hands white and and placed them out next to the top of their feet. This makes an angel. We also glued fake doll hair on the balls of the feet and wiggle eyes under the hair. We have also traced their hands onto fusible web then fused the hand prints to different types of christmas fabric, then I cut out the handprints and fused them to a piece of Christmas fabric in the shape of a tree with the hands pointing downward. I also made this product a banner with a dowel. Another idea I had is to trace my kids hands out of constructions paper and put it in the center of the plate and on the edge put their name and the date. I think that would make a great Christmas gift for grandparents. One idea that worked very well was to make the child's handprints in dough that is bakeable ( self-hardening ). Put the year and child's name on it along with a hanger on the back. I had a parent call me when she opened the gift on Christmas day, in tears. Said it was the best thing she could have every gotten because although she always wanted to do this, she put it off and had we not done it, her child would have grown up before she did it herself.

Donate old items to your local thrift shop or make sure they are properly recycled. Go to our Reuse and Recycling Center to find out where to take your obsolete items or visit our Re-Use Center . Planning for the Holidays? Packaging Have fun discovering new ways to make your gift look good without needless waste. Gift decorating is a great way to be creative. Creative substitutes for wrapping paper include scarves, tins, baskets, bags, old maps and calendars, used blueprint paper, or just a nice bow. Specifically selected sections of the newspaper also make fun wrapping paper. Keep gift boxes and bags that you receive and use them to present a gift to someone else. Wrapping paper and bows can be treated the same way. Decorate boxes with magazine cutouts or design your own wrapping paper using paper bags. Instead of using plastic ribbon, trim your gifts with dried flowers, pinecones, yarn, twine, shoelaces, paper or fabric ribbons. If you do choose to use wrapping paper, look for paper containing recycled content. You can also purchase solid colored paper that can be used for occasions throughout the year and decorated with different bows, stickers, and artwork. Did you know packing peanuts are recyclable? They can be taken to many of The UPS Stores (formerly Mail Boxes Etc.) and other stores that provide packaging and mailing services. When you choose packing materials, if you don't have packing peanuts to reuse, you might try cornstarch biodegradable packing material or consider "air cushioning," (filling sealable bags with air to provide support). © 2005 San Mateo County RecycleWorks Contact Us Order Posters & Publications County Facilities
