Five headache-free holiday hosting tips Page 2

HI-LITER GIFT GUIDE First Edition

NOVEMBER 2016

There’s a reason the holidays are called the most wonderful time of the year. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones over delicious food and shared traditions. But playing hostess can sometimes feel more like a burden rather than a blessing. This year, keep your holiday gathering fun, not frantic, with these headache-free holiday hosting tips.

PUT TIME ON YOUR SIDE

Start your dinner or cocktail party prep as soon as possible to make room for any last-minute surprises, like forgetting an ingredient or unexpected guests. Developing a checklist and assigning manageable to-do’s each day will help prevent you from feeling overwhelmed.

For example, once the invitations have been extended, plan the menu, and gather recipes and a grocery list. Take inventory of your cooking supplies, serving dishes and tableware. While cleaning the house, identify what decorations are needed.

KNOW WHEN TO BUY, WHEN TO DIY AND WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP

From appetizers to desserts, determine what on the menu can be homemade, made ahead of time or store-bought and how guests can contribute. Figure out what is actually feasible for your meal – it’s OK if you can’t make everything from scratch.

If you’ve never made homemade pie, there is no reason to put your culinary skills to the test the night before. If budget allows, buy prepared dishes or desserts from the market and place on festive platters. Find do-ahead recipes that can be stored in the fridge until they are ready to be served. By prioritizing your menu and asking for help, it will alleviate unnecessary stress and allow you to enjoy the event.

DITCH THE PILE OF DIRTY DISHES IN FAVOR OF DISPOSABLE TABLEWARE

Instead of standing over the sink cleaning, spend the extra time celebrating with family

(BPT)

and friends. Make sure to choose products that can stand up to heavy foods, such as mashed potatoes and gravy or stuffing.

Try using eco-friendly products, such as Chinet Classic White plates and bowls.

They are made from recycled material and biodegradable in home composting – leaving you to only feel guilty about that second helping of green bean casserole.

And if your guests are known to be animated, opt for recyclable disposable wine glasses such as Chinet Cut Crystal wine glass. It will hold up the event’s style without

sacrificing your favorite stemware.

SET THE SCENE THE NIGHT BEFORE

Focus on setting the table, deciding where to put the drinks, and gathering extra seating and decorating the night before.

That way the day of the party, you just have to worry about putting out the food and drinks. While last minute rearranging is bound to happen, conquering the planned details ahead of time will help keep you sane.

DECK THE DINNER TABLE WITH A NAPKIN FOLD

For a sophisticated, yet deceptively easy place setting idea, consider using a perfectly coordinated line of disposable tableware and add a napkin fold as a pretty and practical accent. Although some napkin folds can be intricate, try a unique design such as a poinsettia that can be made in a matter of minutes. Include complementary greenery or pinecones for a festive touch.

Give the ‘write’ gift this holiday season Many families have found that letting little ones write letters to Santa can end up as a big gift to their parents.

That’s because it not only gets kids into the holiday spirit, but it’s a great way to improve their writing skills, boost creativity and help them with their schoolwork for years to come.

Here are seven ways to get kids writing: Use fun writing tools Choose or create decorative writing paper and pick pens, pencils or highlighters, bright colors or clever designs.

Encourage them to send more than just a list of toys Have them tell Santa a bit about

themselves – where they go to school and what they like to do.

When they tell Santa how good they’ve been this year, have them include examples, such as tying a sibling’s shoes or helping mom and dad clean the house.

Encourage older children Older children who’d rather not write to Santa can still create a Christmas list for themselves as well as a list of what they intend to get for others.

Write out holiday cards Let family and friends know how you’ve been and that you’re thinking about them. Children can even draw pictures on the card if there’s room.

Create place cards for holiday dinner Write out each guest’s name and add a small drawing.

Write thank you notes This is an important time of year to be thankful for all the gifts your child receives. Thank you notes are a way for your kids to show their appreciation.

Give the gift of writing BIC pencils and pens make terrific presents and stocking stuffers.

your holiday shopping list is focused on all the latest trends, remember, the hottest items are not always the most cherished.

Sometimes it’s the warmest gifts that are the most unforgettable.

“The holidays are times of nostalgia and remembrance, from stories of when we were children to the smell of cookies baking in the oven,” says Christopher Warnack, vice president of marketing and visual at Things Remembered, a leading personalized gift retailer.

Is your Christmas tree up to the task?

Ensure that your holiday lighting dreams come true with brightly lit bulbs on your trees, wreaths and other holiday decorations. Plan ahead to save time, reduce aggravation, and

“Likewise, the gifts you give are not just objects to enjoy now; they should create a joyful memory that can be cherished for years.”

To this end, Warnack recommends personalizing gifts with a loved one’s name, a monogram, a shared memory, a thoughtful message or an inside joke. “Something that makes it just for them, and only from you,” he says.

For a seasonal gift to mark the passing years, consider a personalized ornament or snow globe. Your gift recipient can look back on the ornaments received each year and be

“Test Your Lights” Tuesday begins Nov. 22 and runs every Tuesday through Christmas. Mark your calendar to plug in your holiday lights. And make sure they meet the “merry and bright” standard.

“There’s nothing more frustrating than gathering the family to decorate the tree or house only to find some of your light sets don’t work,” says John DeCosmo, CEO of UltaLit Technologies, maker of the LightKeeper Pro, a one-of-a-kind tool that not only finds the bad bulb on a string of lights, but also illuminates the rest of the working bulbs.

“With just a few pulls of the trigger, you can reclaim your special family moment and become the hero who

reminded of those holiday memories.

Above all, remember to take into consideration the style, hobbies and favorite colors of your gift recipient.

You can customize a gift for anyone on your list.

Scarves or jewelry personalized just for her can be enjoyed for years, and with her monogram, become a real statement piece.

For him, consider mugs, apparel and other gear that commemorates his favorite sports team, and are sure to become part of his game-day traditions and celebrations.

Personalized toys, stuffed animals and

At $19.99, the LightKeeper Pro is both economical and eco-friendly.

In many, many instances, users save money by reducing the need to replace an entire string of lights simply because of a couple of bad bulbs. Old sets of lights don’t need to end up in a landfill.

Ask for help – at no charge.

Should your holiday lights darken, Ulta-Lit’s lighting pros answer questions every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas at (888) 858-2548. To better assist they also take calls year-round during standard business hours. Or, refer to the UltaLit website at Ulta-Lit. With more than 100 years of experience with light sets, here are

some tips from the pros:

thicker insulation.

MEASURE Using your two hands, touch your pointer fingertip to your other pointer fingertip. Then take your thumb tip to your other thumb tip. Bring all four tips together to create a maximum 1/8-inch diamond. While standing no less than 10-feet away from your lit tree, peek through that diamond and scan the tree from side to side, top to bottom. This will assist in finding dark spots where you may want to add more lights for a fully lit tree.

DECIDE ON LED VS. INCANDESCENT LEDs are more expensive than incandescent lights, but they last longer. The use of a tree with 1,000 incandescent bulbs can cost $10 over an average holiday season, while the same tree with LEDs would cost approximately $1.50.

QUALITY VS. PRICE Commercial-grade light sets are more reliable for outdoor use because of their durability and

REPLACE AND REPAIR If you notice one or two unlit bulbs within a section that is primarily operating properly, replace those bulbs ASAP. Two burned-out bulbs can decrease the lifespan of the light set by 39 percent, four burned-out bulbs by 67 percent.

guaranteed to help hosts impress guests The holiday season is packed with social events big and small. What makes some more memorable than others?

The extra thought and special touches from the host or hostess.

Cookbook author and entertaining expert Gaby Dalkin recently teamed up with the Paper and Packaging – How Life Unfolds campaign

to share how you can make a big statement this season with surprisingly little effort.

These five entertaining tips are guaranteed to help you create a one-of-kind party, leaving guests impressed and full of holiday spirit.

Conquer holiday stress with to-do lists To reduce stress, stay

organized and ensure you maintain a merry attitude, use printed templates to create handwritten holiday party todo lists.

“I start my to-do lists weeks before the celebration and break them down by day,” Dalkin says. “A few days before the big event, I stock up on beverages.

Two days before I buy all

the shelf-stable ingredients.

The day before, all the produce goes into the fridge, and I make any sauces or appetizers that can rest in the fridge overnight without being affected. And then, the day of the party is broken down by the hour. If you’re making a roast, start it in the morning. A salad can be prepped ahead of time and dressed before serving.”

Elevate gifting with personalized presentation

Nearly half of Americans feel that gift presentation enhances the gift they give or receive, according to a Paper and Packaging board survey.

That means if you want to impress, don’t skimp on gift presentation.

“I grab a few rolls of brown kraft paper and make it special,” Dalkin says. “If I’m sending a present to someone who loves food, I’ll grab some stamps with fun food on them and stamp the paper so it’s customized for that individual.

If it’s my younger niece, I’ll stamp it with some hearts.

These small gestures make a July 14—October 5, 2014 big impact.”

Use a creative approach to assigned seating

juices. Include handwritten cardstock labels near each ingredient so your guests can mix and match to their hearts’ content.

This no-fuss station encourages guests to make their own cocktails at their leisure, giving the host extra time to catch up. Plus, Dalkin adds, “I’ve found that Champagne bars are often one of the most photographed elements of the night.”

Assigned seating is particularly helpful when entertaining large groups. It takes the guesswork out of sitting down to dinner and keeps the evening flowing smoothly. It’s also an easy way to add festive style to the tabletop.

“If I’m entertaining for more than 10, I’ll make little fold-over name tags out of cute cardstock,” says Dalkin. “I’ll punch a hole in Send guests home with a the paper name tag and weave in little something homemade a bit of rosemary, paper ribbon Frozen cookie dough is one or a fresh flower to give it an of the trendiest homemade extra pop.” gifts of the year.

Great holiday gifts for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts Will you be shopping for any hunters or outdoor enthusiasts this holiday season? Thoughtful, useful gifts will be well appreciated.

“When it comes to hunters, think lightweight and packable,” says Louis Chalfant, director of product development at Smith’s Consumer Products.

Here are a few ideas to consider: Sharpen their game Those who hunt, fish and go on outdoor expeditions know just how important it is to keep tools sharp. You can hone gamesmanship with essential gear like a knife sharpener.

For instance, a versatile tool like the Jiffy-Pro Handheld Sharpener is quick, safe and easy to use whether one is in the field, back at camp, or at home.

It functions both to set the edge on a dull or damaged blade and to achieve razor sharpness. Plus, the scissors sharpening slot is large enough to accommodate game shears as well.

Lightweight enough to be a stocking stuffer consider the 4-inch Diamond Combination Bench Stone, which features coarse and fine grit sharpening surfaces.

Its innovative design speeds sharpening by collecting and holding the metal filings, which ordinarily build up during use. Each stone has a groove for fish hooks or pointed tools, and when one is finished sharpening; he or she can store the stones in the handle for safekeeping.

These tools are available at various sporting goods, outdoors and hardware retail stores, as well as online at SmithsProducts.com.

Get them prepared Those whose adventures take them off the beaten path need certain lightweight, compact tools to be prepared for a variety of situations. A fire starter is a must-have for any avid outdoorsman, hunter or backpacker.

Other handy items to consider for gifts are a highquality first aid kit with all the essentials, a multifunctional pocket knife or even an IOU promising to cover the cost of this seasons’ hunting and fishing licenses.

With some careful consideration, you can make the holidays special for the hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in your life.

Four tips for festive A chill is in the air, string lights sparkle around every corner and holiday cheer spreads from ear-to-ear of adults and children alike. Thoughts of bonbons, gingerbread houses, decadent cakes and fresh-baked cookies weave in and out of dreams.

Extravagant desserts can be a reality without being a hassle. Follow these four tips to create holiday happiness in the form of sweets for all and make moments you and your guests won’t soon forget.

Keep cookies on hand The easiest way to spread dessert joy

with visitors is to have cookies at the ready.

Bake a batch of shortbread cookies and store in airtight containers. Add a slice of white bread to allow the cookies to absorb moisture without adding an odd taste.

You can also freeze cookies so they stay fresh for a few months. Pull the treats out a couple of hours prior to desired eating time and once loved ones arrive, they’ll taste freshly baked.

Sprinkle homemade sugar One ingredient that isn’t a pantry staple,

but appears in a lot of holiday baking and decorating is powdered sugar. If you find a recipe calls for it and you don’t have any handy, you don’t need to run to the busy store. Simply blend granulated sugar and a bit of cornstarch to make powdered sugar in 30 seconds. Then, sprinkle it on top of that gorgeous chocolate cake or mix frosting for decorating gingerbread houses.

Festive drinks Not all desserts come in cake and cookie

form. Mix after-dinner cocktails with a festive twist to surprise your guests. The best part is drinks are quick and easy to make.

Create a dessert cocktail, such as the Brandy Alexander. Blend brandy, chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk and ice cubes until the drink meets your desired consistency.
