Guardian gift wrap | Petting, Germany | Blind dates | Feast recipes | Blood donation reward
I save the central pages of the Guardian when they are particularly attractive and use them to wrap gifts (Letters, 27 November), suiting the theme to the contents or the recipient. Friday’s Maradona Eyewitness photos would be great for a football-mad nephew. To wrap small presents, I’ve been keeping interesting cuttings that I hope will amuse my friends and that they can then put in their recycling bins. Down with glitter and glossy paper!

• A tripartite twinning between Condom in France, Hell in Norway and Fucking in Austria might have created solidarity in adversity and obviated the need for a name change – but good to know that Petting in Germany is still OK (Fugging hell: tired of mockery, Austrian village changes name, 26 November).
