Here's another tip from the green-gift-guide file, courtesy of http://KeepingHawaiiClean.com:

Consider giving no-waste gifts (the kind with no packaging to throw away), such as music or sports lessons; memberships to a gym, symphony or museum; favors such as baby-sitting; or tickets to a sporting event or concert.

PARTY PREP



AVOID HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN

Not only is this the season of giving, it can be the season of gaining — weight, that is. Weight Watchers has tactics to keep you from overindulging at holiday gatherings:

  • Eat a healthy snack before you go to a party.

  • Wear something slim-fitting so that you will be less likely to overeat.

  • At appetizer tables, choose two or three of your favorites, and put them on a napkin, rather than filling a large plate. Then walk away.
