Coming up with gifts during
the holidays can be a source of
? itress for many people,
especially if there isn't the
money to buy what we'd really
Uke.
One way to alleviate tome of
this stress is to keep in mind
that gifts don't have to be
purchased. And they don't
always have to be new. In fact,
the beet gift for someone may
be something handmade or
W something that's been around
for a while.
For example, you may have
some old photographs that can
be put together in a little
booklet of memories.
Or, there may be some
object in your house that
someone special has always
admired. So, give it as a gift.
^ Or, it may be that you have
a skill or talent you could
share with some one over the
coming year. Say you're good
at mending clothes. Then, you
could promise to do several
different mending projects for
aapeciaiperaaa.
Or, tf you enjoy pottering
around the house, yon may
promiae a day or two of fixing
at another peraoa'a houae that
they would really appreciate.
If you have a car and
someone elae doesn't, you
could wrap up a set of coupons
promising ao many free rides
around town.
Our feelings about the gifts
? that we are giving a part of
ourselves ? are often more
important to us than the size
or the coat of the gift. A gift
sincerely and carefully choaen
? from new or old items ?
will be special.
There aren't many gifts that
offer a lifetime guarantee. But
there are some presents that
can help a person grow ? and,
in that sense, they lsst a
lifetime.
So before you rush out and
buy a special present for
someone in your family, give
your selection some thought.
Has someone in poor family
talked about learning to
paint? Then give that bidding
artist a box of acrylics and a
simple instruction book.
After all, when the supplies
are handy ? there will be no
excuse for not getting started.
In addition, there are some
gifts that can help broaden a
person's viewpoint. These
include books, msgasine
subscriptions, records, or
maybe a season ticket to a
nearby dinner theater.
And it's even better when a
gift lets the receiver use his
own imagination. Just give a
seamstress a few yards of
fsbric ? and watch her
create. Or give a would-be
chef an unusual cookbook ?
and be prepared to ssmple
some interesting new dishes.
No doubt about it. Presents
that help a person grow are
valuable gifts ? whether the
recipient is a child or the
oldest family member.

Tablets stop motion sickness
Travel can have a devastating effect upon holiday fun
when motion sickness raises its nauseous head.
Prevention's the best remedy. Motion sickness is
more easily prevented with medication and good
sense than when treated once discomfort starts. Re
gardless of your travel mode, get plenty of rest before
embarking, skip alcoholic drinks, avoid watching the
horizon and ride wherever motion is less severe.
Ask your pharmacist to suggest special tablets to keep
motion sickness from
crashing in uninvited on
your travel days. Wishing
you health for the holi- \
days ?As always!
