It’s the holiday season!  Have you done your shopping?  Thought about giving a gift that won’t collect dust?  Sometimes we give things to people because we simply don’t know what to get them.  However, our best intentions can sometimes end up on a shelf or in a box somewhere.  A better idea might be to give a gift that can be consumed.  Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

• theatre tickets
• membership to a museum or attraction
• coupon book for local merchants
• gift certificate - major credit card companies sell these, and they are not restricted to one retailer
•  online gift certificate - most large online retailers have these widely available (great for last minute gifts!)
• edible homemade gifts
• floral, fruit or coffee of the month club
• “Personal Service” coupons - great for kids to make, include things like “free car wash”, “breakfast in bed” or “free shoulder massage”
• Kid Crafts - if you have children, most everyone (especially grandparents) like handmade gifts from their little ones in the family.

Let your imagination run wild!  Happy Holidays!
