How You Can Use the 4 Gift Rule This Christmas Gift buying is never particularly easy, especially when it comes to kids. The 4 gift rule is an excellent solution. Maybe you’ve heard of the 4 gift rule, or even know a family that practices it. As we’ll explain in this article, it has many practical advantages. As you might have guessed, it ensures that each child gets the same number of gifts. It also helps teach them that they can’t always have everything they want, and inspire them to think about what they really need. (Two lessons that will serve them well as adults.)

And it helps prevent you from overspending on Christmas gifts that your children might well forget about before long anyway. This article will tell you everything you need to know about the 4 gift rule, and help you give more meaningfully at Christmas. What is the 4 Gift Rule (Want, Need, Wear, Read)? The 4 gift rule is very simple: you get each of your children something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. Depending on your kid’s age, you might ask for their input on some or (Continued on page 7)

all of these gifts, or you might choose them all yourself. Now we’ll go into more detail about each of the four gifts. 1. Something They Want Pretty self-explanatory — ask your child what they want. This will usually be the ‘big’ gift that they’ve been talking about a lot. Ideally, ask them for multiple options, so when opening the gift, there will be a bit of a surprise for them. 2. Something They Need Again, you can ask your child what they need, or choose something you already know they need, like a new wallet, phone, or perfume. If your child is too young to realistically decide what they need, you’re the best person to judge. 3. Something To Wear Depending on your price range, this could be something more reasonably priced, like new socks or a jumper, or something a little more extravagant, like a new coat, trainers or swanky boots. 4. Something To Read If you’re lucky enough, this gift might well overlap with gift 1, in which case you’ll treat them to even more books. (But we realize this is probably not a realistic scenario for most kids!) In any case, since books generally aren’t too expensive, it would be nice to get your child more than one book, like The Hunger Games series, or multiple books by their favourite author. This gift is especially important for younger children, to help instil in them the value of reading. Examples of the 4 gift rule Now let’s cover some examples of the 4 gift rule in action, covering a young child and a teenager. Young child Want: Dollhouse, new bike, Lego set, remote control car, craft 7

set, colouring book
Need: Bike helmet, fun new bedding, art supplies Wear: New coat, shoes, hat, pyjamas Read: Picture books, Dr. Seuss books, activity or interactive books Teenager Want: New video game system, drone, smartphone, concert tickets, day out, cinema tickets, gift cards Need: New headphones, hairdryer, laptop or tablet, new glasses Wear: Sports kit, jewellery, jeans, clothing store gift card Read: Graphic novels, fiction series, biographies, magazine subscription Why does the 4 gift rule work so well? As we said above, the 4 gift rule is great because it helps teach children that they can’t always have everything they want, and helps them to focus on things they actually need. It also teaches them about sustainability — since you’re not buying anything in excess, meaningful gift giving, and gratitude — since they’ll get gifts they’ll really appreciate. And again, also makes sure each child gets the same number of gifts, saving you the headache of deciding how many presents to get for each child this Christmas. Is the 4 gift rule for adults as well as children? Of course! The 4 gift rule is absolutely as meaningful for adults as it is for children. The adults in your family and friendship group could all agree to follow it. It’s also something you can teach your teenager if they’re starting to buy and give their own gifts. In fact, if they’re starting to save money themselves, this guide should help them. Setting a budget for Christmas Setting a budget for Christmas is important, whether or not you plan on following the 4 gift rule. HyperJar’s Jars are a good way to stick to a budget because they let you divide all of your Christmas obligations and necessities into different pots, transfer the amount you want to spend on each category into them, and spend directly from your jars.

Western Canada faces bitter sugar shortage with BC refinery strike ahead of holiday baking season
Canadian sugar beets are grown in Taber Alberta. Taber. From Taber we can get white sugar, powdered sugar and liquid sugar. Brown sugar is manufactured in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Vancouver is on strike, that is why you are not seeing Canadian brown sugar on grocery shelves. The media said “sugar strike” causing panic and hoarding. If we, as consumers, buy white sugar as we normally use it, supply should normalize. As for Canadian brown sugar we must wait for strike to settle. Please do not buy more sugar then you need. Buy only what you need and we can all have some! Resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R4yn9MvY_A 10

•
1 tsp vanilla (5mL)
•
2-4 tsp water (10-20mL)
Instructions: For the Cookies:
In a large bowl, combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, nutmeg and salt.
Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, and brown sugar on medium. Mix until fluffy.
Add in the molasses, then the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl down and mix once more.
Add in flour gradually while mixing on low until a nice dough form until combined.
Divide dough into two portions and roll into disks. Cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight. This step is important because the dough gets soft quickly and really needs to be thoroughly chilled.
Preheat to 350 degrees F. Roll out chilled dough to about ¼-inch in thickness.
Cut out gingerbread people/ shapes with a cookie cutter. Carefully transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Let cool.
For the Icing and Decoration:
Sift the powdered sugar and cream or tartar into a bowl then whisk together.
Add the egg white in an mix together.
Once combined, mix in a teaspoon of vanilla and then add water until desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or with the tip snipped off.
Pipe decorations onto the cooled cookies with the royal icing.
Attach sprinkles and or candies for added visual interest.
If you made any cookies with bend arms swap out the foil for peppermint balls.
