Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) A long list of silly little gifts... 1 As a last-minute gift, why not bake a


batch of speciality bread? Wrap the loaves in plastic wrap for freshness and place in a festive bag or wrapping, including a recipe card.

out a recipe and include all the dry ingre­ dients, carefully measured, in a decorative basket.


3 Felt stockings are easy to make and are


an attractive way to present a bottle of wine or homemade salad dressings.


4 You can't go wrong with candles - tie


them in bundles with holiday ribbon or stack them in a festive box.


5 A personalised festive poem that j Telephone: 01282 612669


includes references to the receiver's hobbies can't fail to impress.


6 Cross-stitch a holiday ornament and


include the year it was given in the design - it could become a family heirlooml


7 Fill an attractive cup or dish with a


friend's favorite chocolates or other treats. Use ribbons and plastic wrap to hold it in place.


8 Make a special ornament for the tree


with glue-on beads and other eye-catching craft items.


9 For the coffee lover in your life, fill a


cup with packets of speciality coffees. 10 Fill a decorative basket with goodies


that the receiver uses for his or her hobby - not everyone wants another plastic- » wrapped selection of toiletries, but the for- mat can be used for all sorts of other little gifts.


11 Bake up a batch


of rich fruit cakes, wrap securely and


place each one in a decorative tin. If you're not jealous of your baking expertise, include the recipe as well.

16 Photographs make great gifts. Try


taking pictures of events throughout the year or of one special activity. A single pic­ ture framed is also nifty.

recording thoughts or poems is always a treasure.

19 Home-made biscuits with the recipe


and a neat cookie cutter make a tasty and useful gift.


20 A practical gift with the festive sea­


son in mind - a carefully chosen bottle of wine, complete with corfecrew!


21 Wine may not be to the taste of your


friends, but a carefully selected bottle of olive oil will be a welcome addition to any kitchen.


22 Make a simple coaster set using bath


wall tiles and tile paint. Paint a simple hol­ iday design on six or eight tiles. Glue felt on the back to protect surfaces from scratches.


23 Why leave it to The Body Shop? Fill a


basket with bath items - soaps, oils, bub­ bles, lotions, natural sponge and a loofah pad.


24 For the music lover who plays an


instrument, buy the sheet music of a favorite holiday song and include a CD or tape with it.


25 Holiday flowers


including amaryllis, paperwhites or poin- settias, in an attrac­ tive decorative con­ tainer, make a great holiday gift.


26 Aromatherapy is increasingly popular.


Select one or two aromatic oils and candles noted for their soothing effects and pack­ age them with a neck rest pillow.


27 Stretch that relaxing moment with a


small indoor waterfall kit, available from many craft stores.


28 Sachets of pot pourri, either shop-


bought or made yourself, are a popular stocking filler and ideal for linen drawers or super-smelling bowls.


29 Don't forget the feet - soothing foot


salts, a soft pumice or clay stone and pep­ permint foot lotion will all fit inside a pair of slippers.

38 A hunt around second-hand book­


shops can pay dividends - old textbooks in a field in which a friend works can prove a fascinating holiday read.


39 How about a bulb of garlic for the


chef in your life, together with a stylish garlic peeler available from any good cook shop, or a swish little kitchen knife.


40 A simple but useful gift for the reader


friend or relative is the bookmark. Cro­ cheted or cross-stitched bookmarks are always treasured.


41 Garden-lovers without much space to


work in will love little herb gardens which often come with tiny garden tools, water­ ing can and gloves.


42 For the person who has everything,


what about a personalised rubber-stamp? Stationery stores or business supply cen­ ters usually carry a wide range - some are quite rude, so watch out!


43 An embosser is


very classy - it can be used to personalise paper napkins, sta­ tionery and books. You'll find them at the same places as rubber- stamps.

kins an extra special gift by adding your personal touch. Add a monogram to each one with cross-stitch, embroidery, needle­ point or stencil. 45 Have fun with photos. Many High


Street photo reprint services offer a wide range of novelty gifts based on your snaps, from tee-shirts and mugs to jigsaws.


46 Make a friend the apple of your


Christmas - select a large tart dish, fill it with the number of apples you need to make an apple tart and there you have it!


47 Don't be afraid to be silly - pick a


children's comic annual'like the Beano or Blue Peter for a grown-up. They might he taken aback at first, but they'll be reading it avidly by nightfall!


48 The smell of lavender soothes the


spirit. Stretch its calming effects when you give it as a candle or incense along with a CD, perhaps of peaceful New Age music, that is equally as soothing.

Completely natural NEW non allergenic so no need for patching testing.


All injections done by a doctor.


® Flexible so can treat one area of the face, one wrinkle or whole face.


® Once injections are finished, usually 2 or 3 sessions, then full effects are seen after around 10 months and should


last 2 years.


® The full cost obviously depends on the size of the treated area but is likely to be around £1500 which compares favourably to surgery costs.


Injectable Fillers ________________


Fillers are exactly that! Fillers can be injected into the skin to 'fill out' lines, wrinkles, depressions and scarring. Fillers can be used on any part of the body, but are usually used in the facial area.


Line Reducing Injections


Line reducing injections are made into the problem area, and work by blocking nerve impulses that control muscle movement, therefore preventing you from ‘scrunching up' your face; this relaxes expression lines and allows the overlying skin to become smooth.

32 Home-made fudge is always a treat.


Whip up several batches, cut it into squares, and wrap first in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to maintain freshness.


33 Herbal teas are another growing


trend. Pick out some intriguing flavours and package with a teapot, cup and saucer.


34 Breakfast in bed is always a treat - so


present a member of your family with a book full of breakfast-in-bed vouchers that they can cash in on a lazy Sunday morning every now and then!


35 It may not be the most exciting gilt in


the world, but these days many teenagers will be delighted to get a box of recordable CDs for use on their computer.


36 Wine connoisseurs will enjoy a set of


quirky ■wine stoppers. 37 Picture frames are works of art in


themselves - and if you don't see any you really like, design your o-wn. Just choose a plain frame, some polymer clay, and acrylic paints.


52 A mini zen


stone garden will put a taste of Japan in any home, and it's very low main­ tenance if your friend isn't blessed with green fingers.


53 Have a look at


what your comput­ er can do - you'll be surprised at how easy it is to create personalised calen­ dars for next year.

for a touch of East­ ern promise? What about restful wind chimes - a small set won't disturb the neighbours.


complete with fami­ ly pictures.


54 You can't go


wrong with a mobile phone novel­ ty for a teenager - an unusual rest, a snazzy snap-on cover, or just a top- up card will all be much appreciated.


55 Schedule that


tense friend for a full body massage. Inform them of their gift with a card wrapped in a decorative box. After the holiday rush, this will be great.


56 New and old


drivers alike will appreciate a car safety kit.


57 There are free


screensavers . on offer all over the internet, and saving a selection on a disc and giving it to the techie in your life is a budget gift that speaks volumes.


58 Storage boxes


are decorative and useful. Get several different sizes from the craft store, dec­ orate them with paints or decoupage and stack one inside the other.


59 Your hands 61 There's noth­


ing wrong with being boringly prac­ tical - and a set of food storage boxes will definitely come in handy for keep­ ing all those Christ­ mas leftovers fresh in the fridge.

64 If you know


someone who has moved into a new home, a tool chest filled with the basic necessities for hang­ ing, assembly, meas­ uring, hammering, and the like is invaluable.


65 Looking to


buy a gif t for teacher that won't break the bank? Don't play safe with chocs or cosmetics, club together and get gif t vouchers which can only be used for a treat, such as part pay­ ment for a meal out or a weekend away.


66 The most pre­


cious gif t is your time - so why not present a person­ alised voucher to a hard-pressed mum, offering your free babysitting services for a night, or even for a weekend?


67 How about a


night at the movies - pick up a classic film on video and package it with a pack of popcorn and pick and mix.
