One of the reasons why gift baskets are so popular is because they are highly customizable. Every element, from the gift items to the decorations, can be purposefully selected to complement each other and appeal to the recipient.

If you want to get creative and do something a little unexpected, try choosing a different type of container for your gift basket.

Halloween 2024 Here are three tips to consider: Pumpkin Carving - More than 55% of Halloween injuries are caused by pumpkin carving. While it may be tempting to use standard kitchen knives, carving tool kits may be a safer option. And, of course, ensure an adult supervises any carving activities. Trick-or-Treating Safety - Falls from decorating or wearing an ill-fitted costume account for 25% of injuries on this holiday. Ensure costumes fit properly to prevent tripping, and use reflective tape or glow sticks to increase visibility. It is often safer for children to wear face makeup instead of face masks, which may obstruct their vision. Drink Responsibly - If attending a Halloween party where you consume alcohol, catch a ride with a friend, call an Uber, or consider an overnight stay. Remember, a DUI or a fatality is significantly more costly, emotionally and financially, than a ride home.

I once received 3 pairs of winter gloves from different relatives on the same Christmas day. Even though gloves were a necessary piece of clothing 5 months of the year growing up in New York, I pouted at the gifts. I was a little turd looking back. And also, not looking at the broader picture. Receiving $10 in a card on my birthday as a child was far more exciting than gloves or socks. (Even though they probably cost more than $10 today.) This picture made me think about the marshmallow test for some reason. - I bet I would have failed it as a child. The marshmallow test would be simple as an adult, right? If the reward was money, would every adult reject the marshmallow? As a child you probably heard your parents talking about money, but did not grasp how much you can swing the pendulum of life with good money habits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Taking the socks example one step further I thought about what assets we value most in our financial lives: House, Cars, IRAs, Bank accounts, Hunting Land, Boat, ..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My question for readers is: Which assets do you value most? And did you always see them as you do now?

Holiday Pro-tip. Check those trees to make sure the lights work especially before your holiday decorator arrives. This is why, the lights don't work on a newly purchased tree. I had high hopes. This would have been good for an Auburn fan, Cookie Monster, Marvel or another sports team. Www.gracejamesdecor.com Apply the tips
