Holiday hostess gifts that inspire comfort This year, rethink that bottle of wine and instead, give the gift of getting cozy and slowing down to truly enjoy everyday moments. Tap into glowing candlelight, cozy textiles and celebrating simple pleasures when shopping for friends and family.

In other words, give the gift of hygge.

Pronounced “hoo-ga,” this Danish way of life embraces a feeling of cozy contentment.

Here is a collection of gift ideas that will inspire those moments during winter, a hygge-high season, and all year long.

Cozy textiles

Textiles are hygge in the way that they keep us warm, conjure up memories, and make everyday life more beautiful. For example, a chunky throw adds warmth to a couch or the foot of a bed, while a Turkish hand towel is a fresh addition to any bathroom or kitchen for everyday use or when guests arrive. Sheepskins have been bringing warmth and coziness into homes for generations with their soft textures and natural beauty.

Glow and scent

Lighting and fresh scents are key elements of hygge, and candles are the perfect gift for any holiday hostess. In addition to sharing holiday cheer, guests’ personal celebrations can sometimes leave behind a distinct smell.

Made with essential oils and sourced from natural ingredients, consider a Cannabolish gift set that includes a candle and room sprays. The candles give the gift of glow while clearing away any leftover party odors.

Cannabolish comes in chic packaging that can attractively hold court in a guest room or on the hall table for in-home odor control while guests are visiting. Developed by OMI Industries ­– the world’s authority on odor control – both the spray and candles are designed to naturally eliminate the toughest household odors, including tobacco and cannabis smoke, delivering discreet confidence to those in legal cannabis markets.

Sip and savor

Give a set of tea, a handcrafted mug and a book on hygge, such as “The Year of Living Danishly,” by Helen Russell, to be read over the winter. Share teas that can be experienced throughout the day, such as a midafternoon pause or a calming toast before bedtime.

Be present

Finally, one of the most memorable gifts to give is to turn off the electronics, slow down and be present in the small, everyday moments when spending time with family and friends over the holidays. The best part?

This gift fits any budget.

An affordable affair

7 tips for a holiday bash on a budget

The days leading up to the holidays tend to be among the busiest of the year, with lots of celebrations taking place over a few short weeks.

If you’re hosting a holiday celebration of your own, you’re following a national trend. Statista reports some 59 percent of Americans anticipate spending on holiday entertaining this year. That said, it’s important not to let your party planning become so stressful, time consuming or pricey that it interferes with your enjoyment of the season itself.

Don’t worry. Preparing for a holiday bash doesn’t need to be hugely expensive or overwhelming if you can enlist help for some of the busywork and outsource some of the key elements. Consider the following ideas for bringing friends and family together this year without having to micromanage either your budget or the logistical details.

• Enlist a crew of friends and family members to help with the cleaning, prep, cooking, bartending and final cleanup. Many hands make light work, and working toward a common goal can be a fun part of the gathering itself.

• Instead of investing in your own serving ware and glassware, simply head to your nearest party rental store and check off all your needed supplies. The result will be far more elegant than opting for disposable paper products, and you need not worry about how and where you’ll store all those pieces afterward.

• Worried that your limited furniture

collection won’t allow guests to fully relax? Instead of buying something new, think about renting some of the fun, comfortable and design-forward seating groups now available for rental. Today’s options go way beyond traditional folding chairs to encompass cocktail tables, rugs, lighting elements, bars and fully configurable sectionals and lounges, many of which can be used inside or out.

• To take your party theme a step further, consider the fun of renting a full-sized backdrop that sets the stage while providing a prime selfie opportunity for your guests. Festive settings range from barns to castles to famous landmarks to cityscapes to breathtaking scenes from nature.

• Hire a local caterer for your refreshments or just contract for an

attention-grabbing main course. Keep it simple with a traditional meal or opt for a local specialty.

• Simplify the entertainment and/or dance music by creating a party playlist on your smartphone ahead of time and hooking it up to your own speakers.

• Finally, don’t discount the idea of holding your party at a restaurant or rented event venue. That saves you from time-consuming preparations and cleanup, shifts the liability elsewhere and lets guests come and go at their discretion.

Celebrating the holiday season with friends and family can become costeffective and hassle-free when you turn to a rental store for help. To find a rental store near you when planning your soiree, visit RentalHQ.com.

Time-saving tips and healthy tricks for holiday baking ‘Tis the season for cookies, cakes, candies and more!

Those delectable treats are an iconic part of celebrations big and small. Whether you want to cozy up by the fire with your favorite confection or bring a few batches to the school bake sale, you’re bound to be baking like crazy this time of year.

With visions of holiday cookies dancing in your head, you know that means you’ll have to carve out time to make all those goodies. Don’t stress at the thought of a packed schedule and the temptation of too many unhealthy treats.

Registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner shares some smart tips to save time while creating better baking that provides rich flavors and higher quality nutrients.

Plan ahead

First, consider designating a part of your cabinet or pantry to your holiday baking supplies and let family members know it’s off limits. There’s nothing worse than starting a recipe only to realize an ingredient you need became a snack two days prior. Those nuts, dried fruit and chocolate can be tempting! So, stock up on high-quality ingredients and add a note to deter tempted snackers if necessary.

Another tip: Bake what you can ahead of time. “There are many holiday cookies that freeze beautifully,” Blatner says.

“That means you can start your baking weeks ahead of time and be ready for celebrations of all kinds. Just remember to thaw the day prior so that your baked goods are ready to go.”

Better eggs

“Fresh ingredients are the key to superior baking and eggs are the perfect example,” Blatner says. She recommends Eggland’s Best eggs because they are the only eggs that have double the omega-3s compared to ordinary eggs. Omega3s are classified as “essential” fatty acids because they are important for maintaining good health, and the body cannot make them on its own. Omega-3s also enhance baking as they improve emulsifying qualities.

More than just Omega-3s, Eggland’s Best eggs have 25 percent less saturated fat, six times more vitamin D, 10 times more vitamin E and more than double the amount of vitamin

B12. That means no matter what recipe you use them in, you’ll be improving the nutritional profile of your holiday treats.

Simple swaps

Making more nutritious cookies can be as simple as swapping out a few key ingredients. Consider chocolate, a popular ingredient in holiday desserts. Instead of buying milk or white chocolate, use dark chocolate in recipes. “Dark chocolate is lower in sugar content and contains important antioxidants that are good for your heart,” Blatner says.

Another smart swap is to switch out some or all of your recipe’s white, all-purpose flour for whole-wheat alternatives.

Jasperson realty (262) 835-1342

This pumps up the fiber content of your recipes. “Wholewheat flour is a good option to keep on hand in the pantry,” Blatner says. “For cookies with a more delicate texture, consider using a finely milled, whole-wheat pastry flour.”

Low prep

Holiday baking is a fun tradition whether you do it solo or plan a cookie day with the kids. To save time and reduce stress, look for simpler recipes or ones that offer you the ability to do steps ahead of time. You can make the dough the day before so you’re ready to dive into the fun the day of, baking and decorating the cookies.

Encourage and support imaginative play Ideas to help kids learn and grow

Play is a child’s work, and it comes naturally to kids. While we often focus on how a child’s intellectual abilities are coming along, the role of imaginative play in childhood development is often overlooked.

Imaginative play comes in many forms, whether playing house during a play date or pretending a cardboard box is a magic portal to the dinosaur age. Whatever a child chooses, imaginative play expands creativity, problem-solving skills and cognitive thinking. That is why for children in the 3- to 5-year age range, it is crucial they are given access to time, space and playthings to fully experience it, says Laurie Schacht, publisher of The Toy Insider.

“Imaginative play enables young children to navigate their new and growing emotional thoughts, as well as boundaries within their own social and family group settings,” Schacht says. “A simple doll can create a new world or environment for a child to role

play as they interact with their toy and learn the importance and responsibilities of caring for something.”

While children need little prompting to play and pretend, there are many things parents and caregivers can do to encourage and support imaginative play. Here are a few ideas and tips to get started.

objects around the house, kids can make their own playthings – and put their creative spin on it. Penne pasta, a little food coloring and string lets them make and design their own colorful beaded necklaces. And don’t forget, to a kid, nothing holds more possibilities than a large empty box!

Build a dress-up station

Just about any outing gives kids the perfect backdrop and inspiration for imaginative play – and lets them burn off energy! You can kick things off with a simple “what if” statement such as, “What if the playset was a ship at sea?” And just watch as the kids take over and do the rest.

With a dress-up station, kids can take their pretend games to the next level of fun – and perhaps even stage a play to entertain the entire family. Include hats, funny glasses, fake beards, wigs and shoes. Tip: Yard sales and thrift shops are a gold mine for inexpensive, gently used costumes and accessories.

Imitation is good

Kids like to mimic real-life situations in their play, helping them make sense of their world. That makes kitchen sets, play tools and even a play shaving set so much more than simple amusements. So if they want to cook a pretend dinner, be sure and arrive “hungry!”

Cardboard boxes are magic

With the help of a few simple, everyday

It’s OK to pretend in public

Say hello to their imaginary friends

As they talk, listen to and have adventures with a doll, stuffed animal or action figure, they’re developing their understanding of relationships. They’re also learning something about expressing emotion and connecting with others. So when they ask you to say good night to Teddy, just go with it.

Also helpful in the development of imaginative play are playsets that encourage open-ended, interactive experiences. Calico

Critters, featuring a focus on “Nature, Family and Love,” offers a variety of detailed environments, complete with a cast of all kinds of critters to engage children to explore their imaginations.

The new Town Series Grand Department Store introduces a new character, Stella Hopscotch Rabbit, who works as a dress designer. It features elegant, sophisticated styling and a unified design for even more freedom with the layout. With finely sculpted areas and exquisite attention to detail, it draws children in and enhances imaginative play.

“Calico Critters delivers a rich play experience for kids,” says Chris Byrne, aka The Toy Guy, who specializes in following and analyzing current toy trends and promoting the benefits of toys and play. “The scope of the world and the various characters are brought to life in the imagination, giving kids a chance to contextualize their experiences, explore their personalities and engage in the sheer fun of storytelling and creativity. It’s the kind of active, engaged play that supports healthy intellectual and emotional development.”

Holiday shopping tips to save money and reduce stress

Lines, crowds and stress – if that describes your holiday shopping experience, you’re doing it all wrong. The cost of gifts and decorations can add up quickly, but there are plenty of ways to reduce the dent in your wallet.

Here are six money – and time-saving – tips from The Home Depot to minimize your shopping stress and get the most out of holiday sales:

Make a gift list

From your nearest and dearest to co-workers and teachers, write down everyone you need to shop for and assign a dollar amount next to each name. Online gift guides, like The Home Depot’s Holiday Gift Center, make it simple, with gift ideas categorized by price point. This will help you stay organized, and setting price limits will keep your budget on track.

Review the deals

Collect all the ads from your favorite stores and use them to create your shopping plan of attack. When the day comes, get to the store early for the best selection and savings. At The Home Depot, these ads also are located on the online home page, and many items are available for in-store pickup or delivery.

The Home Depot has many holiday deals, which kicked off on Black Friday, including Special Buys on power tools and accessories from Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi, Ridgid and DeWalt; Mechanics Tools Sets and Storage from Husky; Smart Home products from Google and Nest among others. Check online for your local store for hours and availability.

Don’t procrastinate

The easiest way to overspend on holiday gifts is to wait until the last minute. Shopping at the latest possible moment adds unnecessary stress. For the people on your gift list who are impossible to buy for, a Home Depot gift card is a favorite that’s sure to get a smile. With so many tools to help you shop, you can get your shopping done quickly and spend more time with family and friends.

Follow brands on social media

Check out your favorite brands on social media, where you likely can find up-to-the-minute info on savings right in your news feed. Many companies post special promotions, news and last-minute sale announcements every day, especially during the holidays. The Home Depot keeps its deals updated daily online, including up to 40 percent off select power tools and accessories and up to 40 percent off appliance special buys.

Shop savvy with your smartphone

Before you head back for seconds of Grandma’s desserts, finish your wish list. Mobile apps, like Home Depot’s mobile shopping app, make it easy to search for your favorite items.

If you find a gift in store that breaks your budget, use your

phone to search for a better price elsewhere. Some stores will price match if you show them another retailer selling the same product at a lower rate.

Don’t overlook shipping costs

An online item might seem like a steal compared to the in-store version – until you see the shipping charge.

Remember to take note of any extra delivery or service fees as well. Many retailers offer free, fast delivery on many items. For example, The Home Depot will offer free shipping on all Christmas décor and live trees this holiday season.

Follow these tips to accomplish all your holiday shopping goals and get back to enjoying the season with loved ones.
