K ARISSA MONTANIA Staff Writer The holidays are impending, and that means it’s time to make a list of what to purchase for your group of friends. If you’re stuck trying to think of a great gift, here are a few suggestions for the guys and gals in your life.

FOR THE FELLAS Ansel Leather Watch ($95) Whether he’s always on time or running late, a new watch serves as the classic present for a stylish and modern man. Fossil offers sleek and ageless watches such as the “Ansel” watch, an analog and stainless steel model. Fossil can be found on the third ﬂoor of Ala Moana Shopping Center, next to Godiva Chocolate, or in Waikīkī. Bombay Brown Leather Journal ($13) A leather journal is for a writer who is always jotting down ideas or stories. With a wrap-tie accent, the journal also comes in black and can be purchased in-store or online at Barnes and Noble.

FOR THE LADIES Mascara by Maybelline ($7) At an affordable price, “Colossal Cat Eyes” and “Mega Plush” mascaras by Maybelline are sure to please. Each mascara can be found at your local drug store. Magazines have raved about the mascaras that do wonders for your lashes.

Seagrass with Shell Frame ($20) A picture frame is a way to share your memories with your friends. SoHa Living located in Kahala Mall offers a variety of chic and affordable frames, such as “Seagrass.” Place a photo in your stylish frame for your friend to enjoy and decorate her room with.

FOR ANYONE Urbanears Plattan Plus Headphones ($60) If your friend always has an iPod in his or her hand, a set of white headphones will be a great gift. You can find them at your local Apple store or online. These Urbanears Headphones have a built-in “zound plug,” which allows the listener to have a friend share their music through a plug in the earcap. There’s also a microphone in the headset, allowing it to control phone calls. Conceal Double Nickel Bookshelf ($15) We all have a friend who loves to read. The double-nickel bookshelf is designed to look like it is floating. You can fi nd this at

Barnes and Noble. For a ﬁ nishing touch, include a book you know your friend will love. The gift of knowledge Magazine subscriptions are great for the hard-to-shop-for friend. Find out your friend’s hobbies or interests and buy him or her a year-long subscription. “BeadStyle,” “Sports Illustrated,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “Maxim,” “Shutter Bug,” “National Geographic,” “Better Homes and Gardens,” “Entertainment Weekly” and more cover a wide variety of interests. Check out magazine.com for deals. The thought that counts A selﬂess gift for a friend would be to donate to a charity on their behalf. It’s an inspiring way to give back and help others in need during the holidays. Some charities to consider are americanhumane.org (ensure welfare of children and animals), lookgoodfeelbetter.org (help improve self-image of people undergoing treatment for cancer), cityyear.org (tutor teens to help them graduate) and givekidstheworld. org (help families with terminally ill children to vacation).

M AILE THOMAS Associate Features Editor When it comes to finding a present for that special someone, it can be more difficult than you might imagine – especially when running on a college student budget. Never forget that it’s the thought that matters, but sometimes we get ahead of ourselves and want something extravagant anyway. To help you decide what to get for your significant other, here is a list of ideas.

ELECTRONICS Everyone loves technology. While some items, like video games and computers, may be on the pricey side, there are less-expensive gifts to consider. A good set of speakers for a phone or iPod comes in handy for romantic nights in or a day of ly-

ing around the house. For those who love to read, there are a variety of ereaders available on the market for less than $100.

WATCHES Both a practical and romantic gift, watches will provide someone not only the time but also the thought of you every time he or she looks at his or her wrist. There are many varieties of watches being sold, so find him or her something unique and fun.

HOMEMADE Homemade gifts are cheap (or free, if you already have all the supplies you need), personal and show how much you care because of the amount of time you put into making it. There are many options to choose from: scrapbooks, mix CDs and ceramic items are a few.

LOTS OF SMALLER GIFTS

Instead of going for one big, expensive gift, try getting smaller gifts and give them out in the days leading up to Christmas, saving the last for Christmas morning. It’ll be easier on your wallet, and it’s also a sweet gesture. The downside to this is you’ll have to think about multiple presents as opposed to just one.

JEWELRY

Jewelry is always an option for the gal or guy in your life. Don’t just go for expensive and sparkly: Be creative. Find something that ﬁts in with his or her personality and style. Sometimes the most romantic gifts can be found in the strangest of places, so don’t stick to the jewelry store at the mall. Try going to ﬂea markets and smaller, out-of-the-way stores. Find your paramour something unique.

The people who make work fun day-in and day-out deserve a little recognition. Even if you are participating in a mandatory “fun” activity like a Secret Santa exchange, you can at least give the appearance that you care about your coworkers. Here are some gifts that make good stocking stuffers for the laborers in your life.

Off Your Next Months Rent 94-990 Pakela St. Waipahu, HI 96797 www.waikeleselfstorage.net 808-677-1700

FOR THE GEEK Cyber Clean is a lemon-scented putty that cleans keyboards, remote controls, phones and just about any other electronic device. Gently pressing the goo into your keyboard and removing it will pull out any dirt or crumbs without damaging electronic components. Cyber Clean is biodegradable and reusable, but must be replaced once its bright yellow color turns dingy green. It can be found at ThinkGeek.com for $8.99, plus shipping.

FOR THE ARTIST

Barnes and Noble sells a set of colored “Smencils,” which are pencils that smell like food. Cinnamon, cotton candy and grape are a few of the “flavors” available in the 10 -piece set that costs $14.95. While they are drawing pencils, there is no rule that says you cannot use them to take notes that smell as good as they look. Not every Barnes and Noble has it in stock, but it is available online at barnesandnoble.com.

FOR THE WORKAHOLIC Caring for a living thing, even a plant, can be a stress-reliever for the overworked worker. Bonsai Boy of New York offers bonsai starter kits for $24.95. The kits include a decorative ceramic planter, bonsai tree, copper

While $24 may seem expensive for a little tree, this is a good way to tell your coworker to slow down, relax and enjoy nature. This kit and others can be found at bonsaiboy.com.

FOR THE BOSS Knock Knock is an office-supplies company that does everything with a heaping of sass. Buy your boss a pad of sticky notes that says “YOUR AT TENTION PLEASE” or a paper voodoo notepad to help them stick it to the uncooperative people around the office. You can also give them a pre-made “High Five” checklist with all reasons for giving you

praise. The attention-grabbing notes are $8, paper voodoo pad is $6.50 and the high-five checklist is $4. They can all be found at knockknockstuff.com.

FOR THE INTERN If you are working with a new person or an unpaid intern, welcome them to the office with a coffee mug. Coffee is a workplace staple, and if the intern is not a coffee drinker, they may be soon enough. Zazzle.com claims to have 70,444 different mug designs that range from quirky drawings to inspirational quotes from famous figures. Pick one that inspires confidence to help your new coworker survive the end-of-year crunch.

Presents for pets that have everything SAR AH NISHIOK A Opinions Editor The animals in our lives deserve recognition for their hard work being our friends. Consider these presents for your pet.

FEEDING FRENZY PHOTOS COURTESY OF BARKAROO BAKERY

Barkaroo Bakery was founded in 1999, and its products can be purchased online at barkarookauai.com.

Barkaroo Baker y produces cookies, biscuits and cakes for dogs, cats and horses. The baker y is located in Kaua‘i, but it has six distributors on O‘ahu, including The Pet Corner at

Ward Warehouse Shopping Center and Bark Avenue Hawai‘i in the Koko Marina Center. Cat cookies come in chicken, liver, shrimp, cheese, chicken or beef teriyaki and smoked salmon flavors. In addition, the bakery sells bags of dried organic catnip, which is a plant that contains a non-addictive hallucinogen that most cats enjoy. It also offers sweet oat biscuits for horses. Vat19.com offers “garden in a bag” starter kits with either catnip or dog grass (barley grass known to soothe canine stomachs) that can be grown in a leak-resistant bag. Most pet stores sell cat grass, dog grass and catnip seeds that must be planted outdoors and can be grown in about 10 days.

HIGH-CLASS HOUNDS Inu Inu Hawai’i (“inu” is Japanese for dog) is a locally owned and run business that sells kimono for dogs that are “made woof love.” Clothing sizes are determined by

pet weight rather than size, and most of the designs also ﬁt cats. Their products can be found at inuinuhawaii.bigcartel.com and their occasional booth inside Shirokiya at Ala Moana Shopping Center. If Japanese attire is not your dog’s style, the Fauna Collection (ilovefauna.com) sells T-shirts for dogs with various designs, including University of Hawai’i logos. Their products can be found at all Rainbowtique locations as well as The Pet Corner at Ward Warehouse. Shaka Dog (shakadoghawaii. com) sells neck ties and collars for your business-oriented canine, as well as “potty pads” for dogs that still need to be housebroken. All of their items are available through the online shop and a portion of their proceeds supports Italian Greyhound Rescue Hawai‘i (igrescue-hawaii.com).

in than the actual toy, but novelty playhouses from Suck UK might catch their attention. The playhouses come in the shape of airplanes, tanks, cars or fire trucks and usually cost around $23, depending on conversion rates. The playhouses are sold at suck. uk.com or amazon.com and must be assembled by folding pre-cut cardboard planks. Don’t forget that the ultimate relief for boredom is play time – a picnic lunch at the park, followed by a lively game of catch is as nice a present for a dog as any spa day. O‘ahu has six parks that allow dogs to run around without their leashes as long as their owners clean up after them, and there are an additional 30 parks that allow dogs on leashes.

No-time gift basket A RIEL R AMOS Managing Editor Between studying for finals and scrambling to get things done before the new year, we sometimes forget to buy presents for all the special people in our lives. Worry not: Ka Leo has put together a list of themed gift baskets that are both inexpensive and thoughtful.

MOVIE NIGHT IN (A BASKET) Give the gift of a movie experience – without having to pay $11 to see a movie. Purchase a onemonth membership to Netﬂ ix ($7.99) on netﬂ ix.com and print out the voucher. Place the voucher into an Orville Redenbacher’s Movie Theater bowl ($2.25) along with movie snacks like Red Vines ($1.64) and peanut M&M’s ($2.98). Don’t forget the Hawai‘i

touch by adding in a package of arare or mochi crunch. All food items can be found at Wal-Mart. Prices may vary.

ITALIAN CHOW Put together a food basket that includes a box of spaghetti pasta (about $3 a pack), a jar of Prego (under $5) and a bottle of red wine (Long’s Drugs has a wide selection of wine for $10 and less) or a bottle of Sparkling Apple Cider for the teetotaler friend. Place everything in a gift bag and add tissue paper as a finishing touch.

PIECE OF CAKE E Combine cookie cutters (walmart.com sells a 101-piece set for $10), cookie mix ($2 and d up) and sprinkles or frosting osting (prices vary) into a disposable cookie tray ($3 $3 and up). If you’re lucky, maybe your friend will show how appreciation by sharing ing the baked goodies with you.

VIVA LAS VEGAS Fill a gift bag with playing cards (around $4), poker chips ($5 and up) and chocolate cigars (prices vary). Add in a pair of cheap shades to complete the poker-face look. A fter your friend opens the bag, put it to

Customizable gifts for any occasion SAR AH NISHIOK A Opinions Editor

If store-bought gifts seem impersonal to you, try making your own presents with common household ingredients and a few special materials.

SUGAR SCRUB This recipe makes a good gift for anyone who likes to have soft, fragrant skin. Store-bought sugar scrubs can be expensive and boring, but mixing a few ingredients together will create a personalized present for someone you care about. This recipe was adapted from wholenewmom.com.

INGREDIENTS: 1 cup white sugar 1 cup unscented oil (olive oil, vegetable oil, almond oil – anything y g works)) 5-6 drops of essential oil of your choice 1 glass jar

DIRECTIONS:

INGREDIENTS:

1. Mix ingredients together. 2. Put in a decorative glass jar.

½ cup gin 2 Tbsp rum 1 cinnamon stick 1-2 fresh bay leaves 1 Tbsp of whole cloves 4-5 drops orange extract

TIP If the scrub is too soupy, add more sugar. The process for distilling essential oils from fragrant plants is time consuming and difficult, so you should purchase an oil of your choice like rose, vanilla or peppermint from a health-food store or online seller. Be creative: mix in coffee grounds, mint extract or vanilla extract for added fragrance.

BOOTLEG AFTERSHAVE If you’re too young to buy alcohol, you may not qualify for this idea. But it is great for anyone who needs an aftershave with minimal burn and distinct scent. Adapted from skin.knoji.com, there are different aftershave recipes for dry or oily skin. This recipe, commonly referred to as “Bay Rum Aftershave,” is for normal complexions.

DIRECTIONS: 1. Mix ingredients together in a bowl. 2. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 3. After 24 hours, strain and store in decorative glass jar.

NICOLYN C HARLOT Staff Writer Christmas means carols, presents and of course, delicious food. But instead of giving the same fruitcake every year, check out the following recommendations.

LOCAL FOOD If you’re from the mainland and are going home for the holidays, think about giving your continental-U.S. friends and family local treats. If you’re willing to spend a little extra, head over to Big Island Candies at Ala Moana Shopping Center and check out its cookies and chocolates. Mauna Loa macadamia-nut chocolates are slightly cheaper and available at most grocery stores. But if you’re really on a budget, run down to The Market and use up

extra meal swipes to buy some arare (mochi crunch). These options will be a great present for someone longing for a taste of Hawai‘i, or even someone who eats these treats all the time.

HOMEMADE FOOD Cookies and cakes are even more special when they’re homemade. Baking gifts can also be cheaper, since a few simple ingredients can make enough food for family and multiple friends. Another method is to put together a baking kit. Fill a large clear jar with layered, dry ingredients. Choose a recipe that involves brown sugar and ﬂour, or cinnamon and salt, so you can have interchanging layers of brown and white. Attach instructions on how to prepare the food, and mention if any other ingredients are necessary. This gift is quicker to produce

than baking, and it also gives the recipient an opportunity to have some of his or her own baking fun.

COFFEE AND TEA

Why not get a gift that will keep your friends and family toasty? Coffees and teas last longer than many other food gifts, and they also give drinkers an extra caffeine boost. If you’re feeling particularly creative, you could try making your own tea. There are websites that offer guidance in creating your own blend. Homemade cookies pop up during the holiday season, but it’s unlikely that your loved ones will be receiving personalized tea. You can build off an existing recipe and perfect it to your taste, or you can mix a bunch of herbs together and see what you come up with on your own. If you’re stuck, here is a recipe for homemade chai tea.

CAFFEINE-FREE CHAI Adapted from homesteadanywhere.com Yields: About 1 cup of dry ingredients, or 25 servings

INGREDIENTS:

6 Tbsp cinnamon chips 4 Tbsp dry ginger root 2 Tbsp whole allspice lightly crushed 2 Tbsp cardamom, decorticated (or whole pods, crushed) 1 Tbsp fennel seeds 1 Tbsp whole clove lightly crushed 1 Tbsp black pepper corns

DIRECTIONS:

NIK SEU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

If you’re planning on gifting a fruitcake this year, don’t bring it on a plane. It’s banned by airport security due to its difficulty in x-raying.

1. Combine 1 tsp of chai mix per cup of water in a small pot with a lid. 2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for one minute. 3. Remove from heat and let it steep in the pot with the lid on for five minutes. Strain into a mug. Use more chai mix and/or less water to make a stronger chai if you are going to add milk.

Quick treats for the family friend SAR AH NISHIOK A Opinions Editor

KITTY COOKIES This recipe is adapted from natural-pet-essentials.com, which has recipes for organic treats for dogs and cats. This recipe works best with cooked but not seasoned chicken, as most cats do not like spicy or peppery smells.

INGREDIENTS: 1½ cups cooked chicken, shredded 1 cup whole wheat flour ½ cup chicken broth 1/ 3 cup cornmeal 1 Tbsp softened margarine

The holidays have arrived and if you have forgotten to buy your furry friend a present, you can at least cook them a nice treat. Should you decide to modify these recipes, be sure that you are not adding any ingredients that your pet may be allergic to. If in doubt, call your veterinarian.

DOG’S DELIGHT Dogs appreciate homemade beef or chicken jerky, but can only have it in moderation. Homemade jerky has low sodium and no harmful preservatives, so skip the store-bought jerky sold to humans and give these treats to your pet instead. This jerky can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Mix chicken, broth and margarine, then add the cornmeal and flour. 3. Knead dough into a ball and roll it out and cut into one-inch pieces. 4. Bake for 20 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet.

Chicken breasts or flank steak

FOR THE BIRDS Birds are hard to shop for; each type of bird has different dietary needs and individual birds have likes and dislikes according to their personalities. Try this banana strip recipe, adapted from birds.about. com, and adjust the ingredients until your avian companion likes it.

INGREDIENTS: ½ banana 1 egg (with or without shell) ll) 1 cup quick cooking oats (not steel-cut oats) ½ cup wheat flour 1/8 cup millet ½ cup water or unsweetened fruit juice

DIRECTIONS:

DIRECTIONS: 1. Remove all fat and boness from the meat and cut it into thin n slices. 2. Bake the meat on a cookie e sheet at 200 degrees for two hours. rs.

Christmas sale advertisements now debut before Halloween is over – but shoppers often wait until the last minute to ﬁ nd their gifts. Getting shopping done early can minimize the frustration and cost that comes with the ﬁ nal holiday rush.

MORE OPTIONS AVAILABLE

While waiting for Black Friday to begin holiday shopping may sound appealing, it is to your advantage to start before then. There is less chance of being caught in a mob of shoppers – a quality for which Black Friday is infamous. On the other hand, there is more opportunity to ﬁ nd the gifts that you’re looking for because stores cut back on their inventory to avoid overstock at the end of the holiday season.

AVOID HIGH SHIPPING COSTS

Shoppers choose the online route for its convenience and wide variety of gifts. However, that convenience comes with a price:

shop

Shipping costs can add up to more than the item itself. If online gifts are ordered early, you can avoid the hefty costs that come with rush deliveries. If you can’t avoid it, students can take advantage of programs like Amazon Student, which provides free shipping on select items.

Retailers count on shoppers being pressed for time during the holiday season, so deals are often found early. Planning out a strategy will take extra time, but when your pocket is feeling heavier, it will be worth the work.

TIME FOR LOVED ONES Ultimately, the holidays should be about spending time with loved ones rather than in multiple shopping malls. Planning ahead to avoid crowds will relieve stress and leave room for enjoying festivities.

How to survive Black Friday JACKIE PERREIR A Associate Opinions Editor

So you want to shop on Black Friday? Let me ask you this: Are you ready to face herds of exhausted, frantic shoppers, just like yourself? If you’re not, don’t worry: You will be after reading this guide.

CAFFEINE UP AND GET A GOOD NIGHT’S REST

DO get enough sleep. Most malls don’t open until 6 a.m., so you have enough time to grab at least seven to eight hours of sleep. If you are planning on staking out a store overnight to be the first in the door, trade shifts with someone so that everyone can remain well-rested. The last thing

you want is to miss a BOGO offer because you NOGO sleep.

CHOOSE YOUR COMRADES WISELY DON’T drag along someone who doesn’t share the same ambitions you do. Your shopping partners have to be someone on top of their game, who won’t whine when you ask them to rummage through racks or piles of clothing and who have the shopping stamina of a coupon-clipping mom of eight kids.

DRESS APPROPRIATELY DO keep it simple and comfortable. Things will be frantic enough without having to worry about your clothes fitting right, pulling your top up or making

sure your jeans are snug. Do yourself a favor and minimize your worries. Stick to simple, comfy battle attire.

HAVE A GAME PLAN DON’T go into Black Friday blind. Make a list of what you want and for whom, even if you’re just going for yourself. Once you get to the store, keep that list in your bag or your pocket. Losing it will only be counterproductive.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER DO keep your fight time to a minimum by splitting up and invading several stores at once. Stay goal-oriented: Grab what you want before you browse around. Get in, get out, then get some lunch (or breakfast).

JAYSON NAKASHIMA/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Consumers spent an estimated $11 billion during last year’s Black Friday.

Five tips for Cyber Monday success CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor Why go through the hassle of parking, fighting massive crowds and waiting in long lines at stores on Black Friday when you can get the same great deals and slashed prices with a click of your mouse? Cyber Monday, the Monday following Black Friday, has become the biggest online shopping day of the year. Follow these tips to make you a Cyber Monday-savvy shopper.

JOIN THE CLUB If there are retailers that you like or plan to buy from on Monday, join their e-mail lists, sign up for their newsletters and follow their social media. Many retailers will advertise the discounts they will offer through

these channels, and by having access to them, you’ll be ahead of the game. Figure out what deals you want to take advantage of early instead of frantically looking through their websites the day of.

DO YOUR RESEARCH Going hand-in-hand with newsletters is conducting research on products that you are interested in buying. Check various retailers to ensure that you’ll get the best price when the time comes around. If you plan on buying something expensive like electronics, go to the physical store and test it out beforehand to eliminate the risk of surprise when you receive your purchase.

GO FOR FREE SHIPPING Always pay careful attention to shipping details and costs. Some-

times offers available for mainland consumers do not apply, or extra costs are added on for Hawai‘i shipping. In these cases, the high cost of shipping can offset the low price you paid for the goods themselves. Avoid this disappointment by buying from retailers who offer free shipping.

BE AWARE OF TIMING Many online retailers will begin their Cyber Monday sales at midnight (some even over the weekend), but others will have special hours throughout the day. L ook up what time each desired sale be gins; if there are many that you are eyeing, write them down on a time schedule so you don’t miss anything.

Another important factor to consider is the time difference between Hawai‘i and the mainland. Most large online retailers do not operate in Hawai‘i Standard Time, so you may have to adjust your plans ahead by several hours.

NATHAN ICHIRIU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

According to The Washington Post, Cyber Monday 2011 made $ 1 billion in sales.

PROTECT AGAINST FRAUD Cyber Monday causes an influx of Internet fraud as scammers lure consumers with scams, phishing and fake e-mails. Make sure that you are shopping on legitimate websites of retailers that you know, and for those that you don’t, look for third-party seals of approval. Use your judgment in determining if deals are too good to be true. And always pay with a credit card rather than a debit card or money transfer.

Shopping Guide

Eight shopping essentials QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor Holidays can be fun and exciting, and it’s natural to get into the gift-giving mindset. But they can also be stressful, and one of the main causes is shopping anxiety. In order to make your holiday shopping experience as smooth as possible, here are a few simple rules to remember.

THINK ABOUT IT

RESEARCH Realize that many stores may carry the same item, but they do not always have the same prices. If you know in advance what you want to get, compare prices by searching online and in-person. If you see a deal online, call and make sure the item is both available and comes with the same deal. Since most of us don’t have photographic memories, it is also good to write down the prices you see in a small notebook that you can keep in your wallet. Soon you’ll be able to hone in on the best prices.

STAY ORGANIZED If possible, make a list before heading out. A shopping list will keep you on track, prevent you from forgetting anything and minimize the time it takes to get holiday shopping done. Think of it as a task list.

Cheaper doesn’t necessarily reﬂ ect the best choice. Cheap items are sometimes lower in price because they break easily or perform poorly. Research the products before giving up your dollar. Reviews are helpful in guiding your decision-making.

COUPONS Many of us have an inclination to be oblivious to or ignore coupons as advertising clutter. This is the time of year to become a little more conscious. View coupons as money, and you’ll see their usefulness. There’s no shame in saving.

BE ATTENTIVE Some of the best details aren’t advertised. If you have time to spare, shopping in-person can yield the best savings. This, however, requires patience and an alert eye. Take breaks if you find yourself getting tired to avoid burning yourself out.

DOUBLE-CHECK For in-demand gifts, be sure to call the store beforehand to make sure they’re still in stock by the time you arrive. Whether it’s a new console game coming out or the latest line of handbags, hot items sell out faster than you might expect.

The closer to the holiday season, the more hectic it’s bound to be. Parking will become competitive. Crowds will get larger and more difficult to navigate. This all leads to an experience that impels you to get in and out as fast as possible. This last-minute shopping can lead to impulsive purchases which might not be the wisest. Give yourself time to consider all the options.

Throwing a holiday party A RIEL R AMOS Managing Editor The holidays are a time to be thankful and to strengthen bonds with friends and family. W hether you’re planning an intimate get-together or a big festivity, here are a few things to check off your list to make your party a success.

KEEP THEM FED Avoid the onset of hunger-induced grumpiness by providing lots of snacks and food. To keep costs low, throw a potluck and assign people to bring certain dishes. Facilitate this by making categories such as drinks, snacks, sides, main entrees and

desserts. Limit the number of dishes you want for each category so you don’t end up with ten desserts. You could set up a Google Doc and have the food sign-up on a first-come, firstserved basis. Disposable plates, utensils and cups can get expensive for big parties, so have others bring some of those items. Another way to keep costs down when having a small gathering is to have a set menu and assign people to bring certain ingredients. You can all have fun cooking together. Try making kabobs to grill or a hot-pot-style dinner.

KEEP THEM ENTERTAINED Put together holiday-themed games to draw out smiles and

laughs. You could try “pin-the-tail on Rudolph” or building edible gingerbread houses. Another idea is the Holiday Project Runway challenge. In this game, you divide people into groups and have each group create an outfit using tape, wrapping paper, ribbons and present bows. One person from each group must wear the finished outfit and walk down the runway to show off the collaborative masterpieces. To bring out some friendly competition, offer prizes. A ffordable prizes like $5 gift cards to Jamba Juice or Starbucks will work fine. Packaged baked goods like cookies or brownies also could ser ve as prizes or party favors.

Play hard (to get these games) PAIGE TAKEYA Chief Copy Editor If summer is the season of blockbuster movies, then winter is the time of triple-A video games. Though that special gamer in your life might be busy with “Call of Duty: Black Ops II,” “Halo 4,” or even the just-released-yesterday Nintendo Wii U, check out these two still-incoming releases and see if you can grab something for him or her anyway (or maybe just for yourself).

‘PERSONA 4 GOLDEN’ Release date: Nov. 20 Developer: Atlus Platform: PS Vita This PlayStation 2 cult classic returns in an enhanced remaster for the PlayStation Vita. The core story remains the same: As an ordinary Japanese teenager, you move to the sleepy country town Inaba expecting a year of peace. But then you discover a strange world inside the television and awaken the demon-summoning power of Persona within yourself – soon enough you ﬁnd yourself tracking down a serial killer while still trytry ing to balance the demands of daily school life.

The Vita version introduces the mysterious Marie, a woman whose destiny is entwined with your own, as well as exclusive story and events scenes (including a new ending). P4G also offers enhanced gameplay with new modes, Personas and mini-games. You might also like: The 2D fighter “Persona 4 Arena” (PS3, Xbox 360) serves as a sequel to both P4 and “Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3,” revealing what exactly became of you and Inaba after the credits rolled.

Trailers suggest the open-world series will be taking on a grittier, darker tone than past entries, despite the lush greens and blues of its Pacific island setting. In addition to the main single-player campaign, Ubisoft has promised a separate, co-op story campaign that will support up to four online or two local players. The game will also feature an enhanced version of the sandbox editor found in “Far Cry 2.” You might also like: “Assassin’s Creed III” (PS3, 360 and PC) is also a departure from its predecessor: The villas and canals of Renaissance Italy have been exchanged for the fields and open seas of Revolutionary War-era America.

Most expensive eats and treats

As the year comes to an end, we begin to think more about money. Whether it’s saving or spending money, the holidays have us ref lecting on our financial situations. But if you should ever find yourself with hundreds and thousands of dollars to spend on a great gift, below are several decked-out options you probably didn’t know existed.

SWEET TOOTH Serendipity 3’s $25,000 “Frrrozen Haute Chocolate” is known as the world’s most expensive sundae. This blend is made with 28 different cocoas – half of which include the rarest and most expensive from around the world. The drink comes in a goblet lined with edible gold and is sprinkled with

23-karat edible gold leaf. Included with the goblet are an 18-karat gold and white diamond-encrusted bracelet, a white and chocolatecolored diamond-encrusted golden spoon and a La Madeline au Trufﬂe from Knipschildt Chocolatier that sells for $2,600 a pound. You can take home the goblet, bracelet and spoon. In San Francisco, Three Twins Ice Cream sells a cheaper alternative. Founder Neal Gottlieb charges $3,333.33 for his banana split sundae that is comprised of ice cream made from three rare dessert wines. Make arrangements a day in advance to receive a cello accompaniment. A third of the money goes to a local land trust. It also offers a more affordable selection of $3.25 cones.

SIPPING THE GOOD STUFF Last month, The Hufﬁ ngton

Post wrote an article on the most expensive coffee beans served at the Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas in Thailand. The Black Ivory Coffee is made with coffee beans digested and excreted by Thai elephants. A little more than two pounds of this coffee bean will cost upwards of $1,100, resulting in a $50 cup of coffee. Prior to elephant-dung coffee, kopi luwak, or cat-poop coffee, held the title of most expensive coffee. The demand for Asian palm civet coffee has been on the rise since 2010. According to NPR, this coffee can cost up to $60 for four ounces of beans. If coffee is not your cup of tea, try the $200 -per-cup organic green tea grown in panda dung. Businessman An Yanshi explained that a portion of profits will be donated to an environmental fund and that future batches of the panda-dung tea will be sold at cheaper rates.

a five-year fighter really nice to see her get better and contribute at the end of her career.”

M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor

Of the eight Hawai‘i-born born players on the Rainbow Wahine ahine volleyball team, three attended nded public schools. And one of them em is Hawai‘i’s lone senior. Libero Emily Maeda, a 2008 graduate of Roosevelt High School, led the Rough Riderss to a fi fth-place fi nish in the 2007 007 Hawai‘i High School Athletic Association state championship. “The challenges would d be the level we faced in OIA A [public high schools],” Maeda said. “It was challenging, but ILH [private high schools] competition was a bit stronger. Volleyball-wise, it was a big adjustment for me to compete at this level compared to OIA.” Maeda feels her career can n show that anyone, regardless of what school they attended, can an succeed at the Division I level. “Sometimes, as public school ool students, we might think we don’t on’t have as many opportunities as those hose that go to private schools,” Maeda aeda said. “I’m glad I have a great support pport system with my family that really eally helped me to practice extra to get et better – not necessarily to pay for all these clinics, but the time they spent with me really showed that you can n still improve by hard work.” Head coach Dave Shoji said d that Maeda wanted to become part off this team from the beginning. “We didn’t really recruit Emily – she recruited herself,” Shoji said. “That’s the case with many off the local walk-ons. She’s been a fiveyear walk-on player for us. It’ss really all about self-promotion.. She just wouldn’t go away – she wanted to be on a team.. We allowed her to tryout. We saw enough good things about out her to keep her on the team and just stuck it out over fi ve years. s. It’s

WALKING THE T TALK As a walk-on, Maeda could M ed Ma not take her position on pos the team for granted. grante “I’m so blessed that my m parents are p paying for my school,” Maeda said. M “But it’s “B been hard. be I worked at w the Outreach College C ol o lege for a little bit and as a coach for a little bit for some clinics so been hard s o it’s b to make that money for myself to spend and just trying to t balance that with school and volleyball was difﬁcult. Financially, that’s Financia probably the hardest. “And as a walk-on, we’re expected to have good grades. That’s just one of the th criteria so just trying to maintain my ma grades was not too difﬁ d cult.” As a career walk-on, Maewalk da needed to channel intrinchan sic motivations to overcome a o lack of extrinsic motivations. mo “Certain times throughout my college career, there car was a lot of times where you’re wh just tired and then you gotta go back to, ‘Why do you play? Just for the love.’ And that’s what t would get me through hard days, h long days of lifting or hard ha days of practice. It’s just to play for fo fun.”

T H E B U M PY ROA D ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Emily Maeda was a career-walk-on player for the Rainbow Wahine. Maeda will be honored following the conclusion of the match against UC Riverside.

Maeda’s road throughout throug her Rainbow Wahine career caree had its ups and downs. A fter redshirting in 2008, Maeda played sparingly in 2009, matches. Durappearing in four matc Maeda learned ing both seasons, Maed a lot about Division I volleyball. vo

“ The challenge was just getting adjusted to the level of play – also just getting used to the system and the girls,” Maeda said. “It took a little while, but I’m thankful for the awesome girls that really took me in and were friendly and really nice.” In her sophomore season, Maeda accepted a much larger role as a defensive specialist, appearing in 31 games and starting in 28 of them. She racked up 1.78 digs per set. “Just the preparation that we did in practice, I was ready to jump in and contribute,” Maeda said. “I know towards the end of that season I kind of broke down. So that really taught me a lot to work on technique throughout the whole season and be focused the whole season on improving.” Maeda then entered her junior season mainly as a libero and appeared in 32 matches. She accumulated a career-high 2.47 digs per set. “[As a] libero you have a lot of court to cover – just kind of being very vocal on the court and being in control of yourself helps to make good plays,” Maeda said. “ The difference with defensive specialist is you’re coming off the bench, so even on the bench, you gotta keep that focus because you gotta go back in.” And in her senior season, Maeda took a step back, with just 1.73 digs per set. However, this was expected when Shoji brought in Penn State transfer and starter Ali Longo into the libero position. “ The competition rose,” junior setter Mita Uiato said. “Everybody wanted to get on that court and she battled really well and found her spot on the rightside. She’s owning it.”

THE LONE RANGER As Hawai‘i’s only senior this season, Maeda took the lead and used her experiences to provide leader-

ship to many younger players. “At first it was a little hard for me to accept,” Maeda said. “I really wanted Brittany [Hewitt] to stay so that I wouldn’t be the only one on senior night. But I’ve come to accept it and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. I tried to do my best to lead other girls to do the right thing and to kind of set the structure in the system and just trying to be an example. The other underclassmen have shown so much leadership skills too that I’m not in it alone.” A nd for Uiato, who is in her third season with the Rainbow Wahine, she has not noticed any problem in Maeda being the only senior. “Our team in general, we are all on the same page and get along so well; there’s not really levels by class,” Uiato said. “She’s a captain, so obviously we look up to her and listen to her. I don’t think she’s been intimidated by us. She stepped into the role really well.” For Shoji, who is in his 38th season, he could not remember a time when he had a one-player senior class. “I’ve never really had a team with just one senior – we’ve asked her to have some leadership responsibilities and we had to rely on some juniors too,” Shoji said. “But she’s taken it upon herself to step up and give us some offthe-court stuff too.”
