DEAR HELOISE: I use my lined sticky notes for my grocery lists. I just stick it on the buggy handle, and I don’t lose my list or my buggy!

DEAR HELOISE: Here’s a hint for all who want to consider making donations. There is a website called Charity Navigator (CharityNavigator.org) where you can view ratings and reviews of charities and give confidently. Charity Navigator verifies how funds are spent and measures real impact. I have used this website to decide which organizations I will donate to (where most of my money supports the cause and not the personnel).

DEAR HELOISE: While golfing, every once in a while, one of the guys will leave a club on or next to the green, or we will find one from a previous foursome. Please remind golfers to put their address labels on the shafts of the clubs. This way, it’s easy to locate the owner of the club when it’s found.

DEAR HELOISE: My sister-in-law was furious over people using wrapping paper to wrap a gift. I reminded her that paper is a renewable resource and can be recycled. Today’s gift wrap can be tomorrow’s paper towel.

Two years ago, I bought four thick rolls of plain wrapping paper — one in red, one in white, one in pink, and one in pale blue. These four colors cover all occasions, and if I receive a gift in a decorative bag, I try to keep it for when I need a gift bag. I have a stack of bags with my wrapping supplies.

DEAR HELOISE: I just thought about another place to donate clothing. I went through this when my husband died this past summer. He was a professional man and dressed appropriately every day. It was hard to give away his clothing to just anyone. But I found out that many universities have “boutiques” on campus for graduating seniors to check out in preparation for their future job interviews. How fabulous is this!

I donated his professional clothing to his alma mater, Louisiana State University. How proud he would be to know that his clothing was being worn by another graduate! I know that the Univeristy of Mississippi has a “boutique” as well.
