How to Give Someone a Great Gift Without Spending a Huge Amount of Money

Have you already blown a really gigantic amount of money on presents? Do you want to save a bit for the coming year? The gift I will tell you about will be a great gift for parents.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• A Pen or Pencil
• Paper

1. Parents really enjoy heartfelt gifts like a dinner that you have made while the kitchen is lit with great smelling candles. Jot your ideas down and make a shopping list of what foods you will put on the menu and make sure they absolutely love this dish but also don't spend $100 dollars on one night. Try also to use stuff laying around your kitchen that is still fresh.
2. Think about what you've made before and search through the cookbooks to see what sounds like they like. Also, make a cute little dessert bag full of cookies, brownies, or really just any sweet thing. Fudge would be good as long as you have time to make it.
3. Prepare the thing you will give them. When they walk out, hand them the treat you made and make it look good. Some ideas to make it look good are: put bows on, or buy or find printed bags or plates if you might venture out to that.
4. Finally, when they come, don't tell them about this before, just ask them to come over and surprise them with a kitchen beautifully decorated with delicious aromas wafting into their noses and a table set with your cutest dishware and that special dinner you made.

Tips & Warnings

• Look on their faces when they walk in to enjoy a special treat
• Always have a backup meal if you haven't ever made the dish before and mess up on it
• Make sure both of them like what you're making so it can be to both
