Safety

Keep holiday plants, ornaments and rich foods away from your pet. If guests love to feed Fido, keep healthy treats on your counter instead.

member tip

Money-Saving

Pick amt to spend. Everyone write their name on a piece of paper. Draw names, don't tell who you get. When it's time, put all gifts in a pile. Have everyone draw a number. The person who drew #1 picks and unwraps a gift. The 2nd person can take 1st persons gift or pick a new gift, and so on.
