A -practical yet loving way to wish the homemaker and her home a very merry Christ- " mas is by giving individual gifts of extra place settings and special serving dishes in her new pattern.

Half the fun of getting a present is looking at, and opening, the gaily -wrapped package. But wrapping up all those packages, in a frantic scram- ble the day before Christmas, is no fun at all. To make gift wrapping pleasurable for giver as well as receiver, here are some suggestions. 1. Start early. Wrap -gifts 'as they are purchased (early, too!), • then hide them till Christmas: 2. Set up a gift -wrapping station—anywhere there's a flat surface — and equip, it. Basics include scissors, glue or rubber cement, transparent sealing tape .and wrapping tape, string and heavier cord, mailing labels, outer -wrap- ping paper. 3. Select attractive gift' wraps. •No problem here — choice of designs and colors is wide. Add, name tags, rib- bons and bows. Yarns tell a package adorn- ing story—ready-made yarn pompons, yarn- for tie-ups, make -it -yourself decorations. 4. Allow plenty of time to do a good wrapping j ob. Some Santa's helpers think they're all thumbs when it -comes to gift wrapping. They'll be sur- prised what a difference a slow, unhuried approach makes. Use shortcuts, too. A pack- age wrapped in solid -color foil and adorned by contrast- ring-colpr strips of tick -on __tape can,...be__mbst.__ effective with little effort. . -�=BOvv® � a • • • So -nice to come home to! It's even easier to add a ready-made bow to a decora- tive box, and the package loos special. Pack carefully, wrap sety - curely those gift packages which must be mailed. And mail early!
