For those of you who are running under the wire on getting your Christmas shopping done. I've got some great etiquette advice on how to give a last minute gift with style!
These tips are quick, easy and for some you don't even have to leave the house to get!
Food – Do you have a favorite recipe you’d like to share? Place the dry ingredients in a jar or basket. Add pretty ribbons and bows. Then write or print the full recipe and directions on a nice piece of paper or cardstock. Tie with a ribbon and you’re done!
E-certificate – Most websites offer e-certificates that can be emailed directly to the recipients. If you’re meeting them face-to-face on Christmas day just write or type the information about your gift on pretty paper, roll it like a scroll, tie it with a bow and embellish with an ornament.

Watch me on STYLE NETWORK Jan 2nd 9pm
This past summer, yours truly Elaine Swann the Etiquette Lady, was contacted by the Style Network to be a part of a brand new television series they were developing. I agreed and traveled to Los Angeles to tape the show back in September 2009. Back then it had a different title which has now been changed to what is today. And since then the entire cast & crew has been working hard with other experts on developing the production.
The show is makeover show for women entitled “What I Hate About Me”. In the show women tell the host, Lisa Arch, the 10 worst things they hate about themselves. Afterwards Lisa enlists the help of experts in various fields to work with the ladies to correct their problem areas. I was brought in as the Etiquette Expert to help one young lady with her manners dilemma.
I had a wonderful time working with the crew. The feedback I received from the network was extremely positive and I’m told if the show gets picked up for another season I will be invited back. (Unfortunately we were barred from taking any photos so I don’t’ have any to share)!
Back when taping the show I was told I’d appear in the 2 nd episode or later. Two weeks ago the network contacted me to let me know I would actually be in the Premiere Episode! This is VERY GOOD because the show is brand new and any network would want to put their best foot forward so I’m very happy to be a part of the first episode.
So….Watch me Saturday January 2nd 9pm on STYLE!
