I am not a great cook or a crafter type of person. But... I could give out "rainchecks" for things like washing and detailing their car, ironing one weeks worth of work clothes, dog walking, yard work, taking the kids for a couple of hours to the movies or library so mom can get a break.
Do you think these types of gifts would be useful to some? I tend to go with gift certificates but the like most, the budget is less this year.

I love making gifts for family members!!! If I had a dime for every scarf and mitten set I have knitted over the years I would be weathly!
This year for the little ones in my life; they are each getting a story/coloring book with watercolor illustrations written and painted by me. The boys and I love to make up stories. I love the idea of food and herbs in decorative jars and homemade brownies and cookies.

Greyson.. I for one LOVE...LOVE...LOVE rainchecks and personal coupons... I feel.. it's easy to write a check, or whip out the plastic, but it's harder to give the gift of self and time... Lol.. you do have to gadge what would be received well... For me.. a coupon for doing laundry wouldn't go over as well as detailing her car... (I suck at laundry and she doesn't mind doing it... but she likes a clean car and hardly ever gets around to cleaning it..)
