Gift Giving Ideas

1. Couples Night Out: Create a freehand or computer design coupon for free babysitting. Place this coupon in a small basket with 2 movie gift certificates, a bag of popcorn, a bottle of wine, and a cut out of the movie section of the newspaper. This is great for parents, who would not like a free night of babysitting. You may also change the theme to correspond with the couple. You may wish to make it a night at a museum or a hockey game. Your budget and imagination is the only limit.

2. Photographs and Frames: Everybody loves pictures of their immediate family. Take a day and bring the receiver's children to a professional photographer. Sears has great prices for this. Take pictures of the children and put them in a beautiful frame.

3. Recipes in A Jar: Make the receiver's recipe and place in a quart jar. You may do salad dressings, dips, cookies, cakes, and soups and bean dishes. Peruse a country store to get great ideas. Be sure to attach directions and decorate the top of the jar with ribbon and accessories.

4. Sewing: Check out a book at the local library of easy sewing projects. Many projects requires limited sewing skill and allows you to make beautiful projects. Make a nice lunch bag for all your nephews and nieces and a pretty book bag for the mom and a glass case for the dad.

5. Painting: Buy an unfinished piece made from plaster or wood. Paint a beautiful design on the piece. You are able to personalize these pieces. If the person loves the garden paint a beautiful, birdbath or a clay pot and put in a plant or a bag of soil and a couple packets of seeds.

6. Theme Gift: Think about the receiver's likes and fills a basket with appropriate items. A new car owner would love items for the car. Fill a basket with car soaps, car emergency package… An art enthusiast would love paint, pencils, drawing pad and tickets to an art show. The sky's the limit for this gift.

7. Chef for the Night: If you are a great cook, offer a couple or spouse a night of gourmet food. You may give this gift to several friends and have a mutual day for all of them. Your gift would include a menu and a date convenient for them. This is a great gift for friends.
