Festive holiday coasters. Use circular-cut Plexiglas from a hardware store or craft store about 3 inches in diameter and cut holiday fabric to the same size. Use spray adhesive to sandwich the fabric between two pieces of Plexiglas. You can use wrapping paper or wallpaper also. Create these for yourself or give away a set of four or six. As a gift, remember they don't have to have a Christmas theme; you can also use floral, contemporary stripes or photos.

There's been a great emergence of gifting and gifting suites and fairly extravagant values associated with the gift bags and gift boxes," says IRS spokeswoman Beth Tucker. "We're reminding folks about the taxability of the gift bags, the gift suites, the swag.
"The individuals we serve in the gifting world don't really live their lives based on tax implications," he says. "If it costs a few extra dollars at the end of the year when they're already paying millions in taxes, it's not a big concern."
"If we get a placement in Us Weekly or In Touch, that's a free placement without us paying for an ad," he says. "With these gifting suites, it's a great return for what we invest."

Last year, Winnipeg's doyenne of decorative desserts, Heather Stewart of Lilyfield Cakes, was asked to take part in the Oscars "gift-giving" ritual. Her gorgeously decorated floral cake boxes, complete with delicious cake and bouquet, were among the gifts handed out to nominees in the Best Actor/Actress category.
I was so honoured," says local designer Dayle Goertzen. "I felt amazing to know the celebrities own and hopefully wear Vintage Bling.
Being a sucker for '40s and '50s vintage jewelry, I find myself drawn to Goertzen's glitzier, more glamorous pieces -- many of which are similar to the ones doled out at the Oscars. And apparently I'm not the only person digging the bling.

The decorated theme trees at the Winnipeg Conservatory gave me some ideas for creating unique trees for the home. If you don't have a traditional tree you can create a unique one by wrapping varying-sized boxes in one solid colour of wrapping paper (I can see red, green, gold, purple or blue) and stagger them from largest to smallest until you've created a tower of presents in the shape of a tree. Run four lengths of wide ribbon from the top to the bottom in a maypole fashion and create a unique topper by tying the ribbon ends in a large bow or topping it with a large ornament. Stand ornaments on each tier as decorations until you have a pleasing display. If you don't have enough wrapping paper of the same colour you might be able to paint or spray paint the boxes with gold or silver pa...
