On top of the predictable family birthdays and anniversaries, get ready for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mothers' and Fathers' Day, graduations, and bridal and baby showers, too. Whew! The secret for gifts not emptying your wallet is to put your imagination into high gear so you trim the costs without limiting the fun. Gifts should be thoughtful, not necessarily expensive. Have no idea where to begin? Here are 16 of my favorite $10 gifts to get you started. $10 Gifts for Kids 1. HedBanz Board Game. What kids don't love a great board game, especially when they can get grown-ups to play it with them? HedBanz prompts kids of all ages to use their heads in more ways than one while asking yes-or-no questions about who they are. This is the classic game of "Who Am I?" For kids 7 and up. 2. The Girls' Book: How to Be the Best at Everything and The Boys' Book: How to Be the Best at Everything. Two spiffy guides to anything and everything a boy or a girl needs to know! These books are priceless. Filled with how to do just about anything and how to be the best at everything, these books will keep your favorite young lady and young man intrigued and even laughing for hours on end. These really are fabulous books that any girl or boy age 10 and up will cher- ish and read over and over again. $10 Gifts for Babies 3. Baby Einstein Take- Along Tunes. As a classically trained musician myself, I have to say I love this toy that plays seven baby classical melodies. Not only is this a colorful toy, but also it promotes auditory devel- opment and early music appreciation. And, yes, I think that every baby in the land needs this toy for proper development. It is a lovely invention baby will quickly learn to oper- ate while it soothes and calms the way that classi- cal music can. 4. Lamaze Cloth Books. Choose from 6 different soft books for your tiny munchkin. Books have crinkly pages, peek-a-book ribbons and stimulating bright colors. The textures are fabu- lous and each of these books is high- ly entertaining for baby. $10 Gifts for Women 5. Classic Jewelry Stand. What a great alternative to a jewelry box where things tend to get jumbled up, tangled and basically unorga- nized. This stand displays jewelry so you can see exactly what you want and where it is. This lovely metal stand comes in a choice of four finishes and holds dozens of pairs of earrings, necklaces and bracelets. 6. Burt's Bees Lip Balm Gift Set. The assorted fruit mix contains four lip balms with a keyring lip balm holder! What a great idea to make sure your recipient always knows where her favorite lip balm is. Best $10 Gifts for Men 7. Swiss+Tech Micro-Max 19- in-1 Multi-Function Pocket Tool. This compact, easily transportable pocket tool has it all from screwdrivers (Hex, flat and Phillips) to pliers, a wire cutter, stripper and crimper to nail file, bottle opener, hand drill and ruler. And it all folds up cleverly to fit on a keyring. Quite amaz- ing! 8. Hanson Magnetic Stud Finder. I know what you're thinking: They don't work. And normally I would agree, but finally someone known as CH Hanson has broken the code. This Magnetic Stud Finder is amazingly reli- able and accurate. If a man in your life has ever made 57 holes in the wall before actually locating a stud, he wasn't trying to annoy you. He just didn't have one of these! This is every handyman's dream come true. And a bargain to boot. If you would like to see pictures of each of these gifts along with links to online sources, go to Every- d a y C h e a p s k a t e . c o m / $ 1 0 G i f t s .

Medicare workshop for boomers Passages Health Insurance Coun- seling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) is presenting Welcome to Medicare workshops for those turn- ing 65 this year or younger adults who will be entitled to Medicare due to a disability. As people get closer to Medicare eligibility, there are several things to consider. In light of the fact that Medicare's coverage is much like employer group coverage it's impor- tant to know what questions to ask: • How will my retiree plan work with my Medicare? • Can I delay enrolling into Medicare and not be penalized? • Do I need a drug plan? • Are there programs available to lower my Medicare health and pre- scription costs? The Red Bluff workshop is scheduled for 1-3 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Red Bluff Community Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. Registration is required by call- ing 898-6716. This free workshop is designed for "Boomers" and others who will be new to Medicare this year who want to understand how their Medicare benefits work. Fami- ly members or caregivers are also welcome to attend. People who are new to Medicare will be deluged with information from different insurance companies marketing their products. Tatiana Fassieux, program manager for Pas- sages HICAP warns signing up with the wrong plan, or not doing any- thing may cost new Medicare recip- ients thousands of dollars, and they may not be able to make changes if enrollment deadlines are missed. For more information, call HICAP at Passages at 1-800-434- 0222. If your group or agency would like a workshop, contact Tatiana Fassieux, Program Manag- er, at 898-6717. And remember, HICAP does not sell or endorse any insurance products. Passages helps older adults and family caregivers with important services to empower them to remain confident in their ability to sustain and enjoy independent lives. For more information about Passages services go to www.passagescen- ter.org. Group to celebrate Darwin Day The Humanist Society of Redding will celebrate Darwin Day at the Redding Library at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9 with a movie and birthday cake. The film, "The Genius of Charles Darwin," is a dynamic look at the life, work and legacy of Charles Darwin. Following the movie, the group will have a dinner and discussion at a local restaurant. Darwin Day is an international celebration of sci- ence and humanity held on or around Feb. 12, the day that Charles Darwin was born on in 1809. Specifically, it celebrates the discoveries and life of Charles Darwin -- the man who first described biological evolution via natural selection with scien- tific rigor. More generally, Darwin Day expresses gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity, has contributed to the advancement of humanity. The Humanist Society of Redding was established in October 2007 and is an affiliate member of the American Humanist Association.
