- Provide Transportation. Offer to be available to help with that trip to the supermarket or to the doctor's or the mall. Go on a Christmas lights tour or browse an out-of-the-way shop.
- Supermarket Gift Certificate. A great practical gift when it's just hard to know what might be needed or appreciated. Combine this gift with transportation and you'll have scored!

- Spend Your Time, Not Your Money. A gift of companionship is invaluable. Bring a sweet treat and put on the coffee. Enjoy a movie or watch the game. Look those those photo books and listen to the stories. Cook a meal together.
- Restaurant Gift Certificate. Sweeten this one by choosing a restaurant which offers take-out delivery service and add a few dollars so even the driver's tip is covered.
- Roll Up Your Sleeves. Give two or three hours of help with household tasks. A bit of cleaning, lifting, moving and sorting goes a long way in making a household more comfortable and safer.
Happy Holidays to One and All!
