How to Make Coupon Book Gifts

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