6 THE COURIER SUN • HOLIDAY • DECEMBER 18, 2014 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com holiday guide Save time with a family gift One of the best ways to celebrate s the holidays is with a family gift - one that brings a couple or a family even closer. Since everyone is in on the gift, all members will need to come to an agreement on what it should be. It could be a family vacation, equipment for an alreadyplanned trip or even something everyone in the family will enjoy having at home. If you’re thinking about a family gift this holiday season, the following ideas will help you think of something everyone will enjoy. • A mid-winter excursion - If the family loves to ski, prefers the beach scene or would enjoy splashing around in a pool for an entire weekend, a long weekend trip is easy to pull off, especially if you plan the destination within a day’s drive of your home. Get everyone to agree on the location, the activities you’ll do and the menu if you’ll be cooking, and you’ll be able to enjoy a great break during the long winter months. • Equipment for summer fun - Everyone starts dreaming about summer the moment Christmas is over, so why not hype up the anticipation by focusing your family gift on equipment for your summer adventures? For example, invest in the Polaris ACE, a one-seat, off-road vehicle with different models available for beginner riders to the more advanced. The vehicles are extremely capable in any terrain, comfortable to ride all day long and inspire confi - dence for enhanced family fun. If you have children in your family, Polaris youth ATVs are available for riders 6 years old and upward. The new RZR 170 EFI, for riders 10 years old and up, gives kids the ability to take a passenger along, and has safety features such as seatbelts, color-coded pedals, a parking brake, side nets and parental speed limiting controls for a fun and safe ride. These ATVs would be great for a summer camping trip. • Great afternoon winter adventures - If you live in snow country, consider a winter gift like snowshoes or cross country skis for each member of the family. You can use them many afternoons all winter long to explore the parks in your community, or break new trail for additional adventure. In addition to the snow shoes or skis, be sure to also purchase trail backpacks and plenty of clothing layers, because with all that exercise, everyone is going to get warm quickly! End each afternoon jaunt with a stop at a favorite coffee shop or malt shop to enjoy a delicious beverage or ice cream treat. Once your family comes to an agreement on what your gift will be, the fun begins in enjoying the gift - or anticipating the time when you will be able to enjoy it. And with all members of the family sharing the same expectations, you’ll have plenty of conversation topics to last well into spring. Courtesy BPT Creating Delicious Memories One Cake At A Time!
