I came across this awesome give by Kari Miller She decided to give Artsy Parties at her house. She host a party each month for artsy people to use up her extra supplies to create stuff. FREE! I love this idea!

I gave "50 reasons I love and respect......" little booklets last year to all my female relatives. I just altered some little books (you know the kind that is often given as a gift---"the Little Book of Wine" or something) and I put my reasons over the pages. They were very popular!
How about a massage to your partner?
Or a footrub to an older relative?
If anyone lives alone---really remember to TOUCH them as often as possible when you see them, my sister is happy now but she misses the everyday touch that her husband and children gave.
I just love the Artsy parties idea. (thanks Stacey and Kari)
How about recycling art books to your art friends?
Babysitting ?
This year I gave my stepchildren an update letter on all the wonderful things that there father had done for all sorts of people since they moved out---just in case they forget how great he is.
Is any one ill in hospital? When my brother was very ill , we emailed and rang everyone we knew and asked them to do the same for everyone they knew to write a postcard wishing him well. Dozens and dozens arrived and I think it kept him going a while longer---it CERTAINLY made him happy. He got his wife to make a book of them!
I'll keep thinking...
