Better than Black Friday

Give the gift of a memory:

• Spend the day with a loved one playing a game, watching a movie, looking through old photos, or another shared activity.

• Complete a home project such as yard work, handy work, stringing holiday lights, cleaning the refrigerator and/or dryer vents for a loved one. These gifts will be especially appreciated by people who have mobility challenges or are elderly.

• Put together a photo collage, album, scrapbook, or video. Thrift stores have a lot of nice frames

Give the gift of an experience:

• Massage

• Trip to museum

• Meal at a local restaurant or bakery

• Food tasting tour or history tour

• If you like to cook, consider helping someone prepare meals for a week. Include a trip to the grocery store.
