Fake (plastic) pearls are the perfect complement to this elegant gold wrapping paper. Get more for your buck by using giftwrap such as this clay-pot wrap, which can be a gift as well, . A shrink-wrapped gift basket is always a treasure during the holiday season. Figure A Figure B Craft Paper Wrap This particular wrap was done with kraft paper (guest Michael Basler says you can use a garbage bag as well) and spray paint. Here's how: Crumple the kraft paper (or garbage bag). Flatten out the paper and spray-paint it -- from an angle, not straight down. Be sure to use a color (red, green, etc.) that will contrast with the kraft paper or garbage bag. Decorate with raffia and a homemade tag or purchased card. Elegant Gold Wrap with Fake Pearls This gift is more about the trim than the actual wrapping paper, which is basic gold giftwrap. Simply wrap a string of plastic "pearls" around the package; use hot glue at the beginning and the end of the string to keep the pearls in place. Attach a plastic "pearl" button to the front for an elegant holiday package. Note: Other great embellishments include silk leaves and cord tassels. Clay Pot Wrap Another crafty idea is to fill two small clay pots with a gift such as garlic, place the pots together with raffia or decorative paper-twist ribbon and top with dried berries. Some other ideas include using a large clay pot that's decorated with gold embellishments and filled with gardening supplies, or a painted one whose saucer is being used as the lid -- filled with goodies such as honey, etc., and tied together with rope. Shrink-Wrapped Gift Basket Yes, you can shrink-wrap a gift yourself. Here's how: Fill a basket with any kind of goodies (chocolates, cookies, etc.) desired, and wrap the basket in a shrink-wrap bag, which can be found at any craft or party store. Melt the shrink-wrap with a blow-dryer ( figure A ). Note: Shrink wrap comes in colors as well as clear -- red, green or gold would be perfect for the holidays. Other Wrapping Ideas from Michael Basler: Wrap a bottle of wine with organza fabric, tied with ribbons and decorated with a string of fake "pearls" and a bow. Use denim fabric that's frayed at the edge for compact diskettes, DVDs or video tapes. Simply tie the ends with cowhide cord. For the inside of the box, consider surrounding the gift with different-color tissue-paper rosettes ( figure B ). RESOURCES: Wraps and Roll-Ups Model: 1558672095 Author: Dona Z.

Christmas Gift

Gift Alternatives Gift Alternatives Jesus would approve. We often buy gifts for people who are not in any real need of material things. Our love for that person though, needs to be expressed in some way. We can write a poem, draw a picture, or give a simple gift we've made. Here are some creative ideas that can help bring about the justice and peace Jesus lived and died for ... We might ask ourselves thequestion, "What would Jesus do?" What ways would Jesus encourage us tocelebrate his birthday? He gave everything he had to those in need. He livedand died for the poor and the powerless. He called his disciples to express theirgratitude for what they'd received by sharing what they had wtih others. So I've supplieda variety of links consistent with the kind of life Jesus lived. We can make adonation in the name of a person we'd ordinarily buy a gift for. In most cases, thegroup will even send a gift card. Many of us receive money for Christmas andBirthdays as well. We might see fit to use some of the money we receive forChristmas to make a donation. Here are a few links ... The Heifer Project Give the gift of a heifer, water buffalo, llama, goat,sheep, pig, trees, rabbits, bees, chicks, ducks or geese. Your donation will givesuch a gift to a needy family. A cow will provide milk for the need of the family,and the extra milk can be sold to help with education expenses, etc. Each familythat receives such a gift also promises the first born offspring to another needy familyin their area. That family promises the same, so the gift goes on giving! Fora larger gift, an "Ark," thirty families will be helped. For a smallergift, you could join with others to make your gift of an animal or some trees! TheHeifer Project will send a free gift card in your name as well! Bread for the World Bread for the World is a nationwide Christian movement that seeks justice for theworlds hungry people by lobbying our nation's decision-makers. Stop at their WebSite for more information. Why not give the gift of a membership? Student,Individual, Family and a variety of other memberships are available. Birthright Birthright provides caring, non-judgmental supportto girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy. Using our own resourcesand those of the community, Birthright provides positive and loving alternatives toabortion. Birthright provides many services, including friendship and emotional support,free pregnancy tests, legal, medical, and financial assistance, assistance with housing,referral to social agencies, and maternity and baby clothes. Birthright treats each womanas an individual who deserves kindness and respect, as well as personal attention to herunique situation. And all Birthright services are free, absolutely confidential, andavailable to any woman regardless of age, race, creed, economic or marital status. You may wish to donate to Birthright International, or to a center near you. TheWeb Site above will help you find the center nearest you. Don't you think a donation would be a Christmasgift Jesus would approve of Catholic Relief Services Why not help the victims of Hurricane Mitch. In over 80 countries throughout Africa,Asia, Europe and Latin America, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) serves the poor byproviding emergency and long-term assistance based on need, not creed, race ornationality. CRS has earned its strong reputation for monitoring the human conditionand working with the poor to identify and implement solutions that work. CRS staff bringsknowledge and expertise from a variety of development experiences to their work. And CRSworks to strict standards of efficiency and accountability, with over 90% of support goingdirectly to programs in the field. Where there is hardship in the world, CatholicRelief Services is there. You can make a donation to help the victims of aparticular disaster as well. AmnestyInternational The Universal Declaration of HumanRights recognizes the inherant dignity and equal unalienable rights of all members of thehuman family as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace throughout the world. Amnesty Internatioal stands up for human rights all over the world. It speaksout for prisoners as well, making an issue of false imprisonment and unjust treatment. It's the only voice for so many who are powerless. Amnesty Internationalkeeps us aware of human rights issues all over the world, and helps us to see how we canhelp to make things better. Become a member or give a membership. And sign theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights at the Amnesty International Web Site! Food Pantries andLocal Charities There are many other wonderfulcharities as well. Perhaps you could contribute to an effort sponsored by your ownChurch, or the food pantry, home for unwed mothers or other worthy cause in your ownarea. It's always good to ask, "What would Jesus do?" He'dhelp. We can, too! This appears on the Web Site of Father Pat's Place . You are visitor since 29 November 1998

Romantic Advice: Valentine gifts for men Romantic Advice: Valentine gifts for men Valentine's Day gift giving can be easier if you give gifts any man can use. Here's a list of common ideas that will help you choose what is right for your love. Gift giving can sometimes get tricky, especially when the gift you purchase is not well received. Of course, you can eliminate gift giving by giving cash. However, with a little creative you can express appreciation and love on Valentine's Day by opting for a gift any man could use. 1. Tickets. Does your valentine have a favorite sports team or recording artist? If so, consider buying a front row seat to an upcoming game or performance. 2. Footwear. Whether dressy or sporty, shoes, sandals and/or athletic footwear can simultaneously fulfill a need and a want if you select a pair from your valentine's favorite designer. 3. Food. Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, your valentine is likely to enjoy a meal if you opt for his favorite restaurant, or his favorite dish. 4. Clothes. Clothing is as personal as an individual gets, so eliminate gift rejection by either taking your valentine or a shopping spree, or wrap up a gift card or gift certificate from his favorite store. Even if you choose to stick to underwear, get creative and buy something he would love but is too shy or too cheap to buy himself. 5. Jewelry. From watches to chains to tie pins to rings, there are many great things you can buy your valentine from the jewelry department. Here, however, proceed with caution. Buy something that either can be used daily or something for a special occasion. Anything in between might just sit in a drawer until next year. 6. Hobby helps. Whatever your beau's interest, consider buying something that can be used to further enjoy his hobby. Again, since such things as golf clubs, mitts and certain balls must feel right to the user, you may want to offer a gift certificate to his favorite hobby shop. Then, too, since your reading interests may be in sharp contrast to his, consider offering a gift certificate to an online or traditional bookstore where he can choose what he likes. 7. Write stuff. Investing in your valentine by giving gifts like designer (not always expensive) pens and pencils, or other home office supplies will keep you on his mind as he uses these great instruments daily.
