Christmas & New Year
Christmas Gift Ideas For Parents Who Want Nothing
Parents declining gifts is an established December ritual, and it usually results in another candle. What they generally do want is time and acknowledgement, neither of which appears on a shopping list, and both of which can be written down and made specific.
Schedule time in writing
Dated vouchers for visits, calls and help are redeemed far more often than objects are used.
Say the thing families leave implied
One written sentence of acknowledgement will be kept for years.
What makes it personal
Reference specific family history rather than general gratitude.
