Gifts outside of the Box-Gifts from the Heart for our Older Friends

It is that time of the year for my annual list of gifts that do not always come from the store but from the heart.

Baked good of the month certificate-homemade goodness all year long. My friends even gave me the box back each month so I would not forget the next month.

"Of the Month" gift-fruit, flowers, etc.

Take them to lunch or dinner.

 Bird feeder and seed

"Forever" stamps

 Plan a day to bring dinner and do odd jobs around the house. This is a special one! 

Is there a car that has special memories from the past? Arrange for a car collector to take them for a ride in that car

Is someone residing in assisted living? Invite them to your house to do

some seasonal baking or summer canning.

Plan an outing to see seasonal decorations or a parade.
