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.

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..)
