Ideas for finding Christmas gifts in the local community

ot sure what to get a friend or loved one this holiday season? Consider these local gift ideas, available from businesses in our community.

Loepp Furniture has, in addition to comfortable chairs and couches, TVs and mini fridges, and artificial fireplaces that add atmosphere to any room. Mirrors and lamps that add to the decor of a home. Maybe a new countertop would kiss the cook the right way, or a gift certificate.

Harvest Foods has gigantic Teddy bears for $54.95, and giant penguins for $45.95. They truly are giant, bigger than a child! There are also framed 3D Seahawks and wolf art for $24.95. Slippers, hats, gloves, and the always-appropriate greeting cards also line the shelves.

Your sweetheart or your mother may be happy to receive some colorful flowers from Seaton’s Grove Greenhouse in Elmer City. It’s amazing how colorful flowers look in the white of winter. Or she may prefer a gift certificate to pick out her own plants and vases.

The Colville Tribal Museum in Coulee Dam has a wide

variety of items for people of all ages. Items include beautiful and unique handmade earrings, rings, bolo ties, necklaces, intricately beaded handbags, moccasins, Seahawks gear and more. There are Pendleton blankets, jackets, wallets, and bags, even handmade $22 Pendleton-style booties for the new additions to your family. Quality $20 painted gourd maracas. Art prints, books, sage, sweetgrass, beads, walking sticks, arrows, and more. A little something for everyone in all price ranges. All purchases qualify for a raffle ticket for a Dec. 23 drawing. Until then, Pendleton products are 20 percent off, beadwork and jewelry is 15 percent off, and all other merchandise is 10 percent off.

There’s nothing like curling up with a good book next to the fire or space heater on a cold winter night.

Lews reels normally range from $100 to $150, so take advantage of this sale. Coulee Playland also offers a range of affordable knives, targets, ammunition, binoculars, baits, weights, and lures for stocking stuffers for the outdoorsman or outdoorswoman. Maybe a Steamboat Rock sweatshirt would be nice

For the woman in your life, a gift certificate to her favorite salon may be a good idea. Changes in Electric City has haircuts for $25, pedicures for $25, and manicures for $15.

What girl doesn’t like to be pampered and spoiled a little? Main Street Salon and River’s Edge Salon in Grand Coulee also offer gift certificates.

Walkers light up for Christmas

ou may find yourself reaching for your sunglasses at night if you happen by Dale and Vel Walker’s house on Grand Avenue in Electric City. The house has an elaborate Christmas lights display

that is really quite the spectacle.

For about 30 years now, the Walkers have been making their own handmade, handpainted, wooden Christmas decorations, including Santa in his reindeer-drawn sleigh, snowmen, a manger scene, and much, much more.

Free Kasasa checking rewards you each month. All for doing simple things you’d do anyway. So you have more to be merry about, no matter the season.

“There’s a few store-bought things, I admit,” laughed Dale Walker, who said he switched to LED lights because, before switching, the display just about doubled his electric bill.

Setting up the whole display this year took about three weeks.

Tips for making the holidays smooth

By JoAnn Derson

• Having a holiday party? Put food and drinks in separate areas, as these are places that guests tend to linger. With different stops for each, guests will not bunch up in one place trying to do both, and it actually encourages mingling!

• Dirty candles can be cleaned up quickly with a leg of pantyhose. Slip the candle in the hose, rub the outside of the candle and release.

• Need a quick batch of cookies? Keep a box mix of cake on hand. Instead of the listed ingredients, add two eggs and a half-cup of oil to the mix. Mix and shape, then bake at 350 F for 10 minutes. They are really good, and you can get pretty creative.

• Inexpensive gift idea: a cute holiday coffee mug with a bar of chocolate, a packet of hot cocoa or instant coffee, a peppermint stick and a decorative holiday pick or spray.

Place inside a gallon-size zipper-top bag, tie

with a ribbon, then trim off the zipper-top, leaving just the plastic.

Looks nice.

• “Wondering what wine to serve at your holiday party? Order a case of mixed wines. You might get a hit on your hands!” -- C.C. in Oregon • Instead of going out and buying extra items to have on hand for guests, just borrow from your neighbors. Extra towels, place settings, silverware, kitchen appliances: It’s a pretty good bet that someone on your street has it for you to borrow. If you don’t know your neighbors well enough to ask, maybe you should start planning a getto-know-you party right now.

• “Commit to spending one or two unscheduled nights per week during holiday break just hanging out with your kids. You

can enjoy the toys they might have gotten for Christmas or Hanukkah, read, play games or just relax in each other’s company. They will return to school (and you to work) less stressed.” -- E.G. in Massachusetts • My personal holiday rule is simple: When in doubt, leave it out. There is so much to do, and we want to cover it all, but my best memories of holidays involve the people whom I spend time with, not the place setting or the exact perfect gift. -- Happy Holidays, JoAnn Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Red Velvet Cupcakes Add Holiday Sparkle

Tell them their gift is in the mail...

KFWS 2016 Holiday Guide - CHRISTMAS

Decked with glitter and iced snowflakes, these sprightly cupcakes are a sweet way to celebrate the holidays.

2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1½ cups granulated sugar 1 tablespoon liquid red food color 2 teaspoons white vinegar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1¼ cups unsalted butter 2 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk 2 packages cream cheese 1½ cups confectioners’ sugar Red gel or paste food coloring and red and white sanding sugar, for decorating 1. Heat oven to 350 F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

2. Using an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar, food color, vinegar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated.

3. Divide the batter between the pans and bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Meanwhile, using an electric

mixer, beat the cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter until smooth. Add the confectioners’ sugar and remaining teaspoon vanilla, and beat until fluffy, 3 minutes.

$27.00 GOLD Counties Con Poulos/Woman’s Day

5. Transfer 1/2 cup of the icing to a small bowl and tint red using the paste or gel; transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a writing tip. Transfer 1/2 cup white icing to a pastry bag fitted with a writing tip. Working with one cupcake at a time, frost the cupcakes with the remaining white icing, then immediately dip in the sanding sugar to coat completely; repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Using the icing in the pastry bags, pipe snowflake decorations on top.

TIP: Make to end of step 3 up to a day ahead. Once cool, keep un-iced cakes in an airtight container. Ice cakes up to 10 hours ahead, adding sprinkles at the last minute.
