Paint a Room for Mom
Photo: cuttlefish/Flickr.com
I made a gift certificate on my computer saying "I will paint the room of your choice" and gave it to my mother with a $25 Home Depot gift card for paint (the card even had paint brushes pictured on it). She loved it!
From Mel: Great combination of the gift card and the volunteer labor! You may be able to get the whole family in on a plan like this and accomplish some big jobs for Mom such as:
cleaning carpets
prepping the garden
washing all the windows
building something
organizing all her photos into books/slideshows
What would your mom appreciate help with? Add your thoughts below...
