  • If you're in need of a last minute gift idea, check this out. Grab an empty bag of chips,

  • and search around the house for something you think could work as a gift. Clean the

  • chip bag and turn it inside out, then carefully place your gift inside and twist the bag at

  • the top. All you need to do now is grab a ribbon, tie a bow, and your instant gift is

  • ready to go. Now, if you don't have a ribbon handy, it's no problem. Just cut the top inch

  • off chip bag and tie that on instead. It should be just enough, to get you by in

  • your time of need.

  • If you've got rolls of wrapping paper that you want preserved, head to the kitchen and

  • finish up some left overs, so you can salvage the aluminum foil. Now cut the foil into a

  • square, that's a couple inches longer than a toilet paper tube. Next you'll need to make

  • a cut down the side of the toilet tube, so you can wrap the foil around the outside,

  • and fold the edges inward to hold it in place. Push the foil in at the ends, and now you've

  • got a decorative clasp that will clamp around your tube, and hold your wrapping paper in

  • place. Your decorative wrap is preserved, for another year.

  • With internet and email becoming so common, you may not have any envelopes to send out

  • Christmas letters. Rather than going out and buying some, just take your letter, and crease

  • it in the center, then fold opposite corners into the center line. Fold the 2 edges next,

  • then with a slight turn, the tips are folded in to complete a rectangle. When you tuck

  • these two corners into the flaps underneath them, your letter has just transformed, into

  • its own envelope. All you need to do now is address it, add a stamp, and your letter is

  • ready for posting.

  • To make a fun and festive breakfast, start by pouring your pancake mix into a cleaned

  • out condiment bottle. Now dip some large metal cookie cutters, into a small tray of cooking

  • oil, and set it on a pre-greased and pre-heated cooking pan. Now just pour in some pancake

  • batter and give it a minute to cook. When the batter is firm, go ahead and remove the

  • cookie cutter with a clean pair of pliers, and your pancake will hold its shape. Now

  • just finish them up in the usual way, then make a whole bunch more. Add some butter and

  • a drizzle of maple syrup, and you've got a festive and impressive, holiday breakfast.

  • When you're wrapping packages, you know the frustration that comes when you can't find

  • the edge of the tape. Then when you do find it, it's surprisingly difficult to get it

  • up. The solution, is a simple bread clip. There's a good chance you have one of these

  • lying around, and all you need to do is just tuck it under the edge of the tape. This custom

  • "Grab Tab" will save your spot without damaging the tape at all, and makes a nice little handle

  • for pulling the tape up when you need it. If you don't have a bread clip, try using

  • a penny instead.

  • Your Christmas tree may be fake, but you can still enjoy the scent of a fresh cut tree.

  • Just take the air filter from your furnace, and pick up a bottle, of pine essential oil.

  • And remember that a little goes a long way. Now add 10-20 drops on the backside of the

  • filter, then place it back into position. Open up your air register, then sit back,

  • and enjoy the fresh piney aroma.

  • When the cookies are baked and ready for frosting, it can be a pretty messy job. And no matter

  • how hard you try, they still look like they were frosted by a 4 year old. You can win

  • this challenge by pouring your frosting into a few different condiment containers. Screw

  • the caps on tight, and now you've got a much nicer cookie icer. This will give you so much

  • decorating precision, that your imagination is the only limitation. There's no sugary

  • mess to clean up, and if you press the cap back on, your frosting will stay good for

  • days.

  • When the season's over and it's time to take the Christmas lights down, you know that throwing

  • them in a bin just means you'll have a major rats nest to deal with next year. Try using

  • a simple extension cord holder instead. You can find these at hardware stores for about

  • a dollar and a half. When your lights are wrapped, plug the two ends of the cord together,

  • and now your guaranteed, to be tangle free. By the way, if you can't find one of these

  • cord wrappers, try making one out of a piece of cardboard. It will work just as well, and

  • nothing beats the price of free.

  • When you're entertaining friends with a nice warm chocolaty drink, go one step further

  • by grabbing a potato peeler and their favorite chocolate bar. Carefully shave down the side

  • of the candy bar and you'll see it creates a decorative chocolate garnishing. You can

  • use these tasty shavings to deliciously garnish their drink, or decorate anything else you

  • can think of. Your friends will be super impressed, and wondering why they never thought of this.

  • Rather than letting all that wrapping paper go to waste, try removing little decorations

  • like ribbons and bows, then use something like glue or spray adhesive to attach the

  • wrapping paper back to the box your present came in. Now cut a rectangle about the size

  • of a postcard, and reattach the bows and ribbons. Just like that, you've got an impressive "thank

  • you" card to return your appreciation. Your family and friends will be blown away, and

  • hey, it's better for the environment anyway.

  • Well there are a few ideas that will hopefully make your Christmas a little merrier. If you

  • liked these projects, perhaps you'll like some of my others. Check them out at www.thekingofrandom.com
