Looking for a fun gift that will work for anyone? Try making a customized coupon book for them, offering to treat them to their favorite things. For mom - coupons to cook her dinner, take her to the movies, and wash her car. For dad - coupons to mow the lawn, make his favorite dessert, and take out the garbage for a week. These personalized coupon books are an easy-to-make gift that everyone loves!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • paper or index cards
  • staples
  • markers or crayons
  1. Step 1

    Brainstorm some coupon ideas for the recipient. Some helpful ideas include: free tank of gas, their favorite dinner, a new CD or some iTunes, get-out-of-chores free, trip to the mall or spa, and a massage.

  2. Step 2

    You can make the coupons by hand or on your computer. Hand-made coupons can be made with index cards - don't forget to decorate them! If using your computer, try a program like MS Word or Paint.

  3. Step 3

    Make a cover for your coupon book and staple it all together on one end.

on 8/29/2008 This is a great idea for a gift that won't be forgotten or put on a shelf somewhere. I have a friend who is ill and needs help but is reluctant to ask. This is perfect idea for her. Let's see...."I'll make you dinner" coupon, "I'll walk your dog" coupon, I'll mow your lawn" coupon...............Thanks!!!! 5 stars!!
