Washington County Weekend Post

Spa-Time: We all need a little pampering now and then… For Women – Fill a small basket with bubble bath, lotion, a loofah, a new towel or bathrobe, lip gloss, nail polish, a scent- ed candle, etc. To make this gift person- al, include a container of homemade sugar scrub as well. Sugar Scrub Materials 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup oil (olive or coconut) 5 drops essential oil (try lavender, pep- permint, tea tree, or rosemary) 4 oz glass jar Directions Combine everything in a small bowl and stir well. Make adjustments to any ratio depending on your skin, texture or fragrance prefer- ences. (Use coarse sugar for tougher skin and granulated sugar for sensitive skin). Transfer mixture to jar and apply a pret- ty label. For Men – Fill a metal tote with a new razor, body wash, a manicure/pedicure set, a new toothbrush, etc., and a soft, oversized bath towel. Include a gift card for a facial, manicure or massage for a gift that shouts, "You deserve some time to relax!" Sports Minded: Hit a home run with your sports fan! A sweatshirt, shirt, hat or gloves from their favorite team is sure to be a hit. Include a gift card from a local sporting goods store like Expedition Supply or Woolen Mills, and this gift is a winner! For Those That Have Everything: Here are some other ideas for the people who seem to have everything… Food Box: Place non-perishable items (pasta, rice, cans of soup, peanut butter, toilet paper, coffee, etc.) in a festive holi- day box (available at craft stores). Include a gift card to a local grocery store for perishable items like milk, eggs, cheese, meat, etc. Not only is it a gift that will get used, it will be used up, too. Food Share: Purchase fresh produce - potatoes, onions, carrots, apples, pears, etc. (Note - buy a day or two before the gift is to be given to maintain freshness) and arrange in a festive basket. Include a gift certificate to a local farm share food program (referred to as a CSA). Homemade Gifts: The possibilities are endless. Cookies, bread, homemade oils and vinegars, ornaments, calendars, knitted blankets, crocheted scarves and mittens, a family recipe book, etc. Make a donation to a charity in their name: The local food pantry, a giving tree, and even businesses like Habitat Restore appreciate donations. The pro- ceeds at Habitat Restore are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in local communities and around the world. Plant A Tree: Plant a tree in someone's name – it's a unique and green gift. The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin is part of A Living Tribute (see alivingtribute.org for more details). Volunteer: Volunteer on a project together. Churches and non-profit agen- cies appreciate the gift of time. The Volunteer Center in Washington County has a list of activities so you can choose what coincides with your talents and schedule. For more information, visit www.volunteernow.net So you decided you HAVE to give a gift card, but you can still make it personal. Make a tag using small wooden blocks or tiles. Hot glue letters together to spell the recipients name, attach a ribbon for hanging, and cover the back with a piece of felt. The tag can then be used as an ornament. For extra special meaning, include a note with a special memory or funny story that is related to the gift card.
