For example, when entertaining, use the Internet to find easy recipes that will impress guests without a lot of fuss.

When shopping for and shipping gifts, look for stores with experienced staff and a broad range of options that will let you get everything done in one place. For instance, FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Centers now offer one-stop shopping and shipping with convenient locations nationwide.

New this holiday season, FedEx Kinko's offers more than 40 items just waiting to be personalized with your digital photos-everything from teddy bears and blankets to dog bowls and diaper bags. You can even check out real samples of many items or pick up a free catalog at any location. You'll also find the ever-popular photo calendars and greeting cards. For example, the Photo-A-Month Deluxe Calendar includes 13 personal photos and comes with a matching gift box. Best of all, every one of these memorable items can be ordered in store or online at fedexkinkos.com/gifts.

For the do-it-yourselfer, choose a travel mug or mouse pad and instantly add a photo-lab-quality print from your digital camera using the Sony PictureStation™. The kiosk even has tools to add decorative borders and text.

Once your shopping is done, it's time to ship. Specially trained FedEx Kinko's team members offer everything from advice on the right box size to which fuss-free packing service will work best for your gift. Packed items are then shipped using any of the full-range of FedEx shipping services. And with locations nationwide, FedEx Kinko's offers customers convenient access on the way to the office or on the way home-another stress reducer.
