VALUED AT $500We had 3 different quotes from 3 different granite companies for granite to be installed in our home. Premium Granite Works was the only company to offer the complete package. They redesigned our kitchen island and supplied the carpenter and the plumber. There was no extra charge for them to remove the old countertops and dispose of them. The installation was perfect and our granite is out of this world. We would refer Premium Granite Works to friends, family and neighbours. Thanks Bill. Ray and Bernice
We dropped in at Premium Granite Works to look at some granite for our home. Bill came over to the house and spent time with us and let us know what his company could do for us. We chose a color and got a great price. The installation went smoothly with no damage when the old countertops were taken out. The installers did a great job and cleaned up after they were � nished. We would recommend this company to anyone. Thank you Premium Granite Works.

The holiday season is often accompanied by worries about not being ready in time. As the festive season is approaching fast, here is a list for those in charge of organizing Christmas. It will help you make sure everything goes off without a hitch.
1. Establish your budget. This is always a good starting point. It feels aw ful to regret all your spending once the holidays are past.
2. Create checklists. Plan
your menus, gifts, indoor and outdoor decorations, and schedule your beauty appointments well in advance.
3. Set your tasks. Each of the previous lists brings its own share of things to do, so it’s important to list them clearly along with a time frame in which to do them.
4. Spread out the tasks. Note on a calendar or in your smartphone agenda all things to do each day, as this will give you a better overview. It will also be easier to add an item to
the list or delete completed tasks (yay!), so that you don’t forget anything.
5. Delegate. Some tasks can even be as signed to the children. You’ll be surprised at their creativity!
6. Get organized in ad vance. Some things can be done well be fore Christmas. Think about preparing any makeahead dishes that can be frozen until the party or Christmas dinner. Doing this will al low you to relax a bit during the party!
7. Buy your gifts before the last minute rush. Shopping on Decem ber 23 is just an invitation to stress.
So start shopping in late No vember or early Decem ber. If that is truly
impossible, bear in mind that shopping malls are less crowded early in the week.
Taking the time to get organized will give you the inspiration to create some unforgettable mo ments for you and your loved ones this holiday season.
Lists are not just for Santa!
Shopping malls have an amazing amount of games and toys of all kinds on display at this time of year — enough to discourage the most motivated shoppers. Here are some tips to find a toy that will appeal to children and parents alike.
1. Safety firSt Make sure your gift is age appropriate for the recipient. The packaging usually mentions the age parameters for each toy: 06 months, 5 years and older, etc. Toys for young toddlers should be checked to ensure
they don’t contain small pieces that could be swallowed and that the plastic is sturdy. If you prefer, you can offer hypoallergenic toys that are easy to clean, such as stuffed toys, cloth books, and puppets.
2. educationaL fun Toys can be both fun and educational. For little ones, think about toys with different colours and textures. For older children, there are games to develop patience, logic, and memory skills.
four tips for choosing the perfect toy
W14 www.kelownacapnews.com December 2014 Capital News W15 www.kelownacapnews.com December 2014 Savvy Shopper
The holidays help many of us rediscover the child within; we overflow with enthusiasm at the thought of putting up the Christmas decorations, and some of us just can’t wait to go out and choose a tree. We’re also quickly disheartened when we can’t even find the decorations we chucked quickly down in the basement last January. Even worse is when you discover your favourite ornaments bro-ken or falling apart. Of course, putting away decorations can be a real chore; you’re fed up with looking at them and want to get this thankless task out of the way as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, a good storage sys-tem will save you time and money the next time around.
Here are some tips that you should consider after the holidays, when all those decorations need to be put away.
1. Sort. Throw out anything that is too da ma ged to be used again.
2. Classify. Sort and store decorations by categories or by location to help you find them again. You might want to put up the outdoor lights well before you’re ready to decorate the tree.
3. Pack. Wrap fragile items in egg cartons, bub-ble wrap, newspaper, or old wrapping paper. Strings of lights should be packed in bags or wrapped around a piece of cardboard. This
takes longer than throwing a heap of them into a box, but it will save you from having to unravel a tangled pile next winter.
4. Label. Mark what is in each box so you can find everything quickly next year.
5. Catalogue. Num ber the boxes in the order in which you mean to get them out next year, and store them in such a way as to have access to the first ones. Keep outdoor lights and wreaths in the early boxes, and giftwrap, special occasion dishes, and tree decorations in the later ones.
The most important tip of all? Ask for help! If everyone pitches in, the job will go much faster and much more efficiently — and everyone will benefit next year.
Five tips for storing Christmas decorations
Organizing the storage of your holiday decorations will save you
money and time next year.
3. Some peaCe and quiet, pleaSe! It’s all too easy to be drawn to toys that make noise, such as fire trucks with blaring sirens and tinkling magic fairy wands. Perhaps this is the year to start avoiding these kinds of playthings; most children already have countless musical toys that drive their parents crazy! If you can’t resist, at least make sure there’s a “stop” button.
4. prevent tearS Avoid toys with multiple parts if the gift is not going to be unwrapped at the recipient’s home. The child will, of course, want to open it immediately and some pieces are bound to be lost before they go home. If batteries are required, make sure they are included. It is extremely frustrating for children not to be able to play with new toys just because nobody has any batteries.
