HOLIDAY HOME DECOR EMPHASIZES THE NATURAL There’s nothing quite like a winter walk through snowy woods. This holiday season, trend watchers are encouraging us to bring some of those evocative, forest-y elements home to decorate our outdoor and indoor spaces. It’s a look that’s soothing and seasonal, and easy to attain without spending tons of money. Simple and natural are where it’s at this year; spike if you wish with a bit of bling or a festive bow. You can buy or scrounge your greenery locally, and add a few found or inexpensive elements. Even a traditional cedar, pine or boxwood wreath can be given a contemporary tweak if you dispense with the usual embellishments. There’s something elegant about a spare, unadorned circle of green. Add a few small apples, oranges, pomegranates
or pepperberries for a natural color touch. Wrap or bow-tie the wreath with burlap for a rustic vibe, or use velvet ribbon in an unexpected hue like persimmon, purple or mustard. Wreaths made completely out of cushion moss look striking, as do those made of bay, sage or magnolia leaves. Freezedried fruit or flowers can look beautiful for years; just keep wreaths made of these delicate materials out of direct weather. Richard Waite, author of the new “Decorating with Evergreens” (Gibbs-Smith, 2011), twins wreaths on double doors, or stacks them on single doors. He also fits a smaller, store-bought wreath inside a larger evergreen one. Glam up the greenery with metallic ribbon — copper and pewter are on trend. Add some flair for free by entwining an old necklace through the boughs, or affixing an old brooch. Wreaths don’t have to be round. Find square and star forms at nurseries and craft stores, or use old picture frames. Take apart a supermarket bundle of evergreens, and get creative with jute, hemp, wire or a glue gun.

erman’s basket with greens and berries to hang on the door. And Executive Editor Shelley Ridenour says that while white pine and fir are traditional, “we love the chic, free-spirited look of boxwood. Eucalyptus leaves look fantastic with blue spruce when twisted into a garland or wreath. The key is to keep it simple, so the beauty of the greenery isn’t overwhelmed.” Sunset magazine’s website offers instructions for creating a fragrant snowflake using fir boughs and floral wire. Swags are easy; ramp up the glamour by tying a handful of boughs together with wire and adding creamy ribbon, clusters of glitter-dusted cones or stars.
And garlands add a pretty frame to doors and a lush, finished look to porch rails and fences. Fragrant cedar and long needled pine are attractively shaggy; boxwood and short-needled evergreens work well for a formal front entrance. Mini lights look great in either, as do simple silver, ruby or sapphire ornaments; keep the frippery like ribbons and bows to a minimum for a clean, contemporary look. If you’re lucky enough to have a big front stoop, fill urns with fir boughs, eucalyptus, ilex berries and branches — birch, dogwood and even salvaged twigs from around your neighborhood give height and texture to a pot. Add some spray-painted white ones for contrast. Apartment dwellers might consider a slim florist’s bucket, weighted with a heavy rock and filled with good-smelling cedar. Or splurge on a faux-boxwood topiary, which will last for years, and add a lush bow. Don’t forget the backyard. Place a wreath or garland on patio fences and enclosures, and fill empty planters with greens, unbreakable ornaments, a tangle of lights — or all three. Continue the nature vibe indoors by keeping the palette muted — white, cream, mocha — and go for texture to create interest. Make a trail of ivy along the center of a table, mixing in hurricane lights and glass votive holders, suggests Ridenour. “Fill terrariums or glass cloches with evergreens or beautiful winter objects, like pinecones or acorns, and display them on a dining table, mantel or bookcase. Hanging a wreath atop a mirror gives it the refined look of framed art,” she says. West Elm has a wreath studded with white felt balls that look like snowballs. It’s available in green or red, too, but the white makes an especially striking statement. The retailer also offers an ethereal feather wreath in white or a gentle dove brown. Pair with copper mercury glass or bisque candle holders, some polished pebbles or a twist of shell pink ribbon and you’ve got an elegant holiday mantelpiece. Whether you’re going with a bundle of bare branches in a pretty pot or a full-size evergreen as your holiday tree, think about decorating it with simple snowflakes made of different materials, such as laser-cut wood or felt. Choose winsome bottle-brush natural fiber ornaments, in animal shapes like foxes, bears, owls and raccoons. A tree full of little birds, perhaps, or a garland of paper snowballs and white jingle bells can be charming. A home that’s warmly dressed with outdoor elements says “Happy Holidays” all season long.

SECURE YOUR IDENTITY WHEN SHOPPING ONLINE There is no denying that shopping online is the quickest and easiest way to zip through a holiday shopping list. With a few clicks and keystrokes, it’s possible to have all of your Christmas shopping done in no time. But as many people have found out -- the hard way -- purchasing via the Internet can be risky business, especially during the holiday season when shoppers are pressed for time and make hasty decisions. While identity theft and fraud can occur at any time of the year, the holiday shopping season leaves consumers particularly vulnerable to hackers and identity thieves. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, a San Diegobased nonprofit, there are several important steps that consumers should take to ensure that their online transactions are conducted both safely and securely. First and foremost, the ITRC recommends that consumers shop only on sites that use technology that encrypts -- or encodes -- both your personal and financial information before sending it for payment processing. Encrypting sensitive information makes it inaccessible to anyone outside the system, and all of the Web’s major retailers secure customer data in this manner. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to ensure that a shopping site is secure, particularly if you have not made purchases there in the past. Any page on a site that asks for personal or financial information will have a URL or Web address beginning with https:// as opposed to the usual http://. Shopping only on the sites of merchants you know and trust is another critical means of ensuring your online safety. However, if you decide to order from a Web site you have never patronized before, it’s a good idea to spend a few minutes investigating the site. For starters, reliable Internet retailers always include a business address and contact telephone number on their sites, as well as information about site security, their return and refund policies, shipping practices and privacy policy. This information should be easily located on the
A Gift Certificate is the perfect gift!
Another critical step in securing your personal and financial data is to provide only the information necessary to complete the transaction -- and no more. Social Security numbers are not required to complete an online purchase and consumers should never provide this information. Being asked to reveal sensitive information, such as a Social Security number, on a retail Web site is an automatic red flag indicating that something is not right. Your best bet? Close your browser window and search for another, reputable source for the item you want. Finally, whenever you shop online, it’s best to pay with credit cards, which are protected by the federal Fair Credit Billing Act -- a law that entitles cardholders to dispute charges made to their accounts. Unfortunately, there is no other form of payment that provides this type or level of protection. The good news? Once you are assured that a site is secure and the retailer is reputable, shop away. Chances are good that you’ll not only save time, but money and energy as well.

LOOK TO KIDS’ PASSIONS FOR PERFECT GIFTS
To the uninitiated, buying gifts for kids can feel like a treasure hunt without a map through store aisles and websites packed for the holidays. But sussing out clues may not be as difficult as it looks. Has the young recipient ever offered you one of his homemade cupcakes? Have you seen her tear around on a little ride-on bike? Is the living room often strewn with building bricks or stacking blocks? Casual buyers looking for presents for children they don’t know well need only focus on general interests. Mom and dad will likely take on the “it” gift of the season, or farm it out to grandma, leaving lots of room for other shoppers, whether the
HARRY POTTER KIDS Wands: What might the young fan not already have? A beautiful, nearly $40 replica of his favorite character’s wand, perhaps. The HP area of the Warner Bros. site, Wbshop. com, has a nice selection of collectible wands complete with fancy boxes straight from the Ollivanders shop. Warning: While fun to hold, they’re true collectibles and could break if treated roughly.
T-shirts: Chances of you buying a different one than your young HP fanatic already has are in your favor. Look around for quality and sales. A call to mom or dad for the child’s favorite house at Hogwarts will help you drill down to just the right crest, robe or scarf, and lead to more token HP-by-house gifts like key chains, magnets and writing journals.
giftee is a builder, baker or bookish. If that sounds too complicated, reach for the classics — in books, apparel or toys, said Rachel Jarrett, general manager of the children’s department for the sale site Gilt Groupe. A sweater with room for size variation, or mittens or hats, for example. Try toys in wood, including eco-friendly bamboo. “We do incredibly well with wooden toys,” Jarrett said. Anne Keane, fashion director for Lucky magazine, suggests keeping it simple. “Generally, staying with moderately classic, small gifts is the easiest route to take for all age groups,” she said. “Especially if you don’t know the kids that well.” The handcraft site Etsy.com has unique felt toys, Keane said.
LEGO KIDS
GO-GO KIDS
Lego lunch set: Licensed Lego lunch box in the shape of a brick, with two mini-boxes also made to look like the real thing, along with a drinking bottle topped by an iconic yellow Lego head for the cap.
BIT Bikes: Curved wood bodies and two wide wheels in neon pink, blue, orange and green with seats to match for new walkers or toddlers who love to roll. Handlebars built into front of the unusual design.
“The Lego Ideas Book”: Tips from master builders on taking what a child already has and making something new. Divided into six themes, including transportation, buildings, space and kingdoms. By Daniel Lipkowitz.
Go Cars: Easily graspable rolling hand toy for toddlers with a shiny, sleek design that includes eyes and rubbercoated wheels. In blue, red and green.

And Plan Toys makes a fun wood-andcanvas shopping cart on three wheels for toddlers. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, Jarrett urged. Wall decor may not feel terribly gifty, but Wallcandyarts.com has chalkboard decals in the shapes of elephants, apples and circles that would please lots of kids. Room organizers that play into a favorite theme can also be fun. And there’s nothing wrong with asking your giftee’s parents for a suggestion. “I think parents do appreciate it when you ask what might make a nice gift,” Jarrett said. “They want to make sure
FOODIE KIDS Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven: Sure, cooking on the real thing is great, but this version of the classic is space-agey in purple and doesn’t require a light bulb. The baking pan is bigger and it also comes with a cupcake pan. Two mixes included. From Hasbro.
Nest kitchenware: Go with real tools that kids and parents can both enjoy. These sets from Joseph Joseph of six or eight pieces include durable measuring cups and mixing bowls in bright, childfriendly colors.
you’re not getting something that maybe somebody else is also getting. It’s a lot to return a toy.” A few suggestions by interest:
EARTHY KIDS Tegu: Magnetic blocks made from sustainable hardwood harvested in Honduras. Buyers can send a child in Honduras to school for a day or plant a tree there to replenish rainforest with every purchase. Candy-colored sets finished with nontoxic, water-based colorings. Good for a range of ages. Made in Honduras.
Eco-kids: Art supplies from a Portland, Maine-based mom and pop company with nontoxic, natural ingredients and environmentally friendly packaging. Handmade molding doughs, finger paints, crayons and paste. Kids will love the packaging — a set of doughs comes in a cardboard tower and the crayons in rocklike shapes in little tins.
BOOKISH KIDS “Dork Diaries Box Set”: First three books in the heavily illustrated Rachel Renee Russell series chronicling the not-sofabulous life of middle schooler Nikki Maxwell. Good for reluctant readers or more enthusiastic ones just growing into the age range. Aladdin, ages 9-12.
“Steampunk!”: Beautiful new anthology from 14 writers in the quirky science fiction-fantasy and very ‘80s genre of steampunk. Edited by Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant. These are, as the book’s subtitle notes, “fantastically rich and strange stories.” Candlewick Press, young adult.

LET THEM EAT CAKE (AND GIVE IT TO THEM, TOO) THIS HOLIDAY, GIVE THE GIFT OF A GREAT BREAKFAST Breakfast cereal as a holiday gift? It may sound unusual, but it tastes wonderful. Granola is a practical, beautiful and delicious gift. It’s also easy and inexpensive to prepare. It can be packaged attractively yet simply in glass canning jars or cellophane bags tied with ribbons. And granola is easy to tailor to your recipient’s tastes. And unlike many edible gifts, it has a long shelf life and doesn’t need refrigeration. We’ve started off with a basic granola recipe, then added flavors to mix in before and after the baking step. If you want to come up with your own flavors, here’s the basic idea — spices and nuts are mixed with oats, then baked in the oven. Dried fruit gets mixed in after baking so it doesn’t get over-dried and bitter. If you choose to add chocolate, cocoa gets mixed in with the oats. But chocolate chips should be added only after the granola has been baked and thoroughly cooled. ——— HANDMADE HAVE-IT-YOUR-WAY GRANOLA Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15 minutes active) Makes about 5 cups 3 cups old fashioned oats 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil 2 tablespoons water 1/3 cup maple syrup Flavorings of your choice (see below) Heat the oven to 250 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar and salt. Set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the oil, water and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, then pour over the oat mixture. Stir until thoroughly coated. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, or until dried and lightly toasted. Allow to fully cool before packaging. FLAVORINGS: — Dutch apple: Stir 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1 cup of walnut halves into the dry oat mixture before baking. After baking, add 1 cup chopped dried apple and 1 cup golden raisins.

After baking, add 1 cup chopped dried pineapple and 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger. Nutrition information per 1/2 cup serving (values are rounded to the nearest whole number): 390 calories; 180 calories from fat (45 percent of total calories); 20 g fat (6 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 0 mg cholesterol; 48 g carbohydrate; 7 g protein; 4 g fiber; 110 mg sodium. — Chocolate cherry: Stir 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder into the dry oat mixture before baking. After the dry mixture has baked and cooled, add 1 cup dried cherries and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. Nutrition information per 1/2 cup serving (values are rounded to the nearest whole number): 320 calories; 110 calories from fat (34 percent of total calories); 12 g fat (3 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 0 mg cholesterol; 49 g carbohydrate; 5 g protein; 7 g fiber; 100 mg sodium.
Small Bundt cakes are an easy and elegant gift to give. You can make them in a traditional metal pan, but also consider purchasing paper baking pans, which are designed to be both the baking pan and a decorative wrapper. To use the paper pans, simply place them on a baking sheet and bake as normal. When completely cooled, wrap the item in plastic wrap or a clear bag tied with a bow. We’ve offered a recipe for a cherry spice cake, but this technique will work for any recipe that’s designed for a Bundt pan. Quick breads are another easy offering for paper baking pans, as they come in small loaf pans, as well as the ring-style pan. ——— CHERRY SPICE CAKE Start to finish: 45 minutes Makes four 8-by-2-inch ring cakes For the streusel: 1 cup all-purpose flour 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted For the cake: 1 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup molasses 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon dry ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup dried cherries 1 cup frozen cherries, thawed and drained Heat the oven to 350. Coat four 8-by-2-inch ring cake pans (or two 8-inch Bundt pans) with baking spray. Arrange the pans on a baking sheet for stability and ease of moving to and from the oven. To prepare the streusel, in a small bowl mix together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter, allowing clumps to form. If using metal Bundt pans, distribute the streusel mixture between the pans. If using paper baking pans, set the streusel aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, honey, molasses, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, cardamom and vanilla. Mix in half of the buttermilk, then half of the flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and repeat with the remaining buttermilk and flour. Stir in the dried and thawed cherries. Divide the mixture between the prepared pans. If using the paper baking pans, sprinkle the reserved streusel on top of the batter. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. If using a metal pan, turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Will keep for 1 week.

A NO-BAKE HOLIDAY TREAT PERFECT FOR GIFT GIVING Salty and sweet. Savory and rich. It’s the treat for chocolate fans who think they’ve tried it all. It’s caramel bacon peanut bark. That’s right. Read that one again. We start with a smooth, rich pool of melted milk chocolate, then scatter chopped peanuts over that. On top of that goes a healthy scattering of cooked and crumbled bacon. Trust us — the salty-savory-sweet flavors play so well together. But we didn’t stop there. Over that goes a drizzle of caramel and a sprinkling of flaked sea salt. Once the bark has completely cooled, it can be broken into chunks and packaged in plastic bags or candy boxes for gifts. It should hold at room temperature for up to a week. ——— CARAMEL BACON PEANUT BARK Start to finish: 30 minutes, plus cooling Servings: 24 12 ounces maple or brown sugar bacon Two 12-ounce packages milk chocolate bits 1 1/2 cups chopped peanuts (salted or not) 10-ounce bag soft candy caramels Large flake sea salt Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high. Working in batches, add the bacon and cook until very crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then repeat with remaining bacon. Set aside to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces. Place the chocolate bits in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, then tap it on the counter to settle the chocolate into an even, smooth puddle. Immediately sprinkle the peanuts and bacon evenly over the chocolate. Allow the chocolate to fully harden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place the caramels in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Drizzle the caramel over the bark, then sprinkle lightly with the sea salt. Allow to cool and harden, then break into pieces.
