Christinas?
All thumbs at designing
homemade gifts?
A little imaginative holiday
gift buying and packaging is
the answer, say specialists with
the North Carolina Agricul
tural Extension Service.
Start by selecting a group
ing of small, inexpensive items.
Practical, little gifts are much
appreciated in these days of
rising costs.
?*> ?
One way is to zero in on
articles a person uses up quick
ly ? cleaning supplies, paper
goods and other supermarket
staples. Special treat food
items can be a welcome family -*?

[ Threads in popular colors
strung into a tree shape with
wire are a good gift for the
home sewer and any handy
man will appreciate nuts, bolts
and nails.
Or, how about bath soaps

and shampoo or other
grooming aids tied in a towel
hobo-style on an evergreen
branch or postage stamps
nestled in a sheaf of stationery
, with envelopes? I
Helpful aids for the kitchen
can also make good gifts. For
example, wooden spoons,
spices, sponges, dish towels,
can openers, graters or
measuring spoons can be found
in most discount or variety
stores at a smaller price than
in specialty kitchen shops.
(Ahy joy fill your heart and enrich
your life this Christmas Season.
We extend our warm thanks to you.
