Man spoils grandkids with toys instead of basics

DEAR HARRIETTE: My dad has sent my kids over $3,000 worth of toys and games, and now he wants to plan a vacation together.

DO JUST ONE THING

● The United States Postal Service has a simple green tip when sending gifts through the mail this year: Reuse what you have. Yes, you can use the perfectly sturdy cardboard box your new shoes came in as a gift box to send through the mail. And you can run old magazines, direct mailers and old mail through a paper shredder to use as packing material to protect fragile items inside the old shoe box. Also, instead of driving to the post office, save fuel and print out postage online at USPS.com, and schedule a pickup at your home; the post office comes to your home six days a week anyway, so why not have them pick up your packages for free?
