What gift-giving inspirations have you had for this season or in the past?

1 Answer

Answer :

Three years ago, I used an idea that I found on the internet. My husband, his brother, his brother’s wife and I each wrote down 13 things that we were grateful/thankful for in regard to his parents. I typed them up (with the individual’s name on it) and cut out each one, then folded the strips and put them in a jar. We gave that as the last present and explained that they needed to open the jar once a week, pull out a strip and remember how grateful we are to have them. This gave them one a week for a whole year. They still say it’s their favorite present ever.
