Cashless Gifts
Sometimes gifts that are truly from your heart have no cash value. But the value to the recipient can be more than any amount of money could provide. These gifts are truly from your heart to theirs.
Look at the person's life and what they need. Maybe grandpa can't climb the ladder to prune his trees or bending down to those shrubs is more difficult than it used to be. Someone just broke their legs and lives in an apartment with a dog. Walking that dog is a major concern for them.
If you just look, you will find many things to do which are cashless gifts from you.
-Volunteer to work for a week at their favorite charity. You may put up signs, file in their office, call for donations. All work will be appreciated by your recipient.
-Frequently parents would love to go out for an evening or spend the weekend away. They need a babysitter they can rely on. You come to their rescue and give them peace of mind to enjoy their evening or weekend away.
-Weeding the garden can be formidable by yourself or when you are physically able to handle it. Your gift of doing that can put a smile on their face and their neighbors.
-Volunteer to take their dog for a walk every day for a week or a month. If the person is injured, volunteer to walk the dog until they are back on their feet. Then go along and help walk the dog for another week.
-Offer to wash and wax granddad's car. Don't forget to hand scrub the wheels and polish the chrome.
-Climbing the ladder to prune the fruit trees is hard work but you might get a fruit pie in the spring.
-Everyone loves a good back rub or foot massage. Take along lotion in their favorite scent.
-The most luxurious gift. Give a manicure and pedicure. For someone you live with, service breakfast in bed for a week or every Sunday for a month.
-Help clean out the garage and take things to local thrift store or to the dump.
