Not so great at picking out gifts?  Just didn’t have extra money to spend on buying gifts?  Maybe you’re not very talented and making a gift was out of the question?  Don’t fret! You can still give something wonderful, your time.

Offer to do a specific chore for someone, or better yet, make them a coupon or certificate you can present to them in place of a store-bought gift. Some ideas could be:

* Make a home-cooked meal
* Do a week’s worth of laundry
* Clean their house
* Wash their car
* Do an afternoon of yard work
* Baby-sit their kids

You can tailor the offer to the gift recipients needs and if you know them well, you should have a pretty good idea of what offer would be most appreciated. Have fun with it!
